Victoria Beckham's 10 favourite beauty rituals

1. Her double cleansing routine

Speaking to Into The Gloss, Victoria Beckham said she had found the perfect skin care routine thanks to the advice of her facialist friend, Melanie Grant, with whom she developed her double cleansing routine.

“My skin has definitely become drier. It was oilier when I was younger and I didn’t like that, but as you age, you realise it’s quite good if you’ve got oily skin. I was very fortunate that I didn't scar from the acne, but maybe if I had dry skin, I would have. I kept all skin types in mind when developing my Daily Cleansing Protocol – a duo consisting of the Daily Oil Cleanser and the Daily Lactic Acid Gel Cleanser. When I struggled with my skin, I couldn’t find the perfect cleanser. They would either irritate my skin and cause more breakouts or they were overly drying. You can either use my cleansers together or individually. At night, I use the oil cleanser first because it really does get the dirt and makeup off your face (so many cleansers claim to take makeup off but actually don’t!) without stripping the natural oils that you want to hang on to. Then I’ll use the gel cleanser after that.”

2. Her ‘Self-Care Sunday’ ritual

To look after her skin, Victoria Beckham gives herself one self-care day a week for a ‘spa-at-home’ ritual, which she shared on her Instagram account.

“On a Sunday morning, I try to find time for a pamper session – I apply a face mask (I switch between a few face masks that I love depending on what my skin needs). I leave this on for as long as I can, then remove it with my Victoria Beckham Beauty Daily Cleansing Protocol followed by a session under my LED mask and then the Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum + Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturiser and [I’m] ready to go for the day!”

3. Using an LED mask to boost radiance

The secret behind Victoria Beckham's glow? LED technology, without a doubt. On her Instagram account, she confessed to using an LED mask every night, because the LED light makes such a difference to the condition of her skin.

4. Dermaplaning for a flawless complexion

On her Instagram account, Victoria Beckham revealed that she had turned to Dermaplaning at a dermatologist, on the advice of facialist Melanie Grant. This technique involves running a blade over the face to remove fluff and dead skin, thereby activating cell renewal, boosting collagen production and stimulating skin radiance. The skin's surface is made smoother, allowing better penetration of the skincare ingredients then applied.

5. A routine that reveals a clear complexion

Victoria Beckham's skincare routine may be minimalist, but she pays particular attention to her daily makeup.

“I'm religious about my skincare routine. I struggled with my skin for years, so ensuring it's clean and healthy is a big part of my beauty routine. I am quite minimal on what I use on my skin, as I like it to shine through. In place of foundation, I use the Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturiser in Golden because it provides the perfect foundation-free glow. I then swipe on our Cheeky Posh Cream Blush Stick, and Reflect Highlighter Stick on the high points of my face for an extra glass-like glow, and blend it in with my fingertips.”

6. Her signature smokey eye

Victoria Beckham's favourite playground? Her eyes! She told Into The Gloss:

“I always love a smokey, sexy eye. I will often start with my EyeWear in Pecan – or sometimes Bottle Green – to contour the eye area. Then I use my Satin Kajal Liner just above the lash line and also a little bit underneath. If I’m going out at night, I go from using Cocoa to Cinnamon. Sometimes I’ll even use a bit of Sequin Green or Navy Noir if I want to have a little bit of a different take on my smokey eye. I’ve had the pleasure of working with [photographer] Peter Lindbergh quite a few times, and he’s all about a smokey eye, but it’s always smudgy and sexy – never harsh. It looks almost more like a natural shadow as opposed to a hard line. I always finish with a bit of Future Lash Mascara.”

7. Awakening her eyes using the Waterline Pencil

To make her eyes look bigger, Victoria Beckham has a trick up her sleeve, which she has also adapted into a product present among her makeup range:

“I usually swipe on my Instant Brightening Waterline Pencil – it’s the perfect nude for my waterline, and it immediately makes me look so awake and polished.”

8. Keeping her eyebrows forever well-groomed

You'll probably never see Victoria Beckham without perfectly groomed eyebrows! In fact, she told makeup artist Lisa Eldridge that her husband David Beckham had never seen her without her eyebrows.

“These days, I’m obsessed with our BabyBlade. I searched for the right brow product for a long time, something that came in a small enough component so that I could really get a precise application and carefully pencil individual hairs. I’ve never found a brow product quite like ours, which is why I decided to develop it myself. I use shade Medium Brown.”

9. Polishing off her lip look with Posh Gloss

When it comes to lips, Victoria Beckham also has her essentials, as she told Harper's Bazaar:

“I always end my beauty routine with Posh Gloss, and I actually just reapplied it! Our glosses are super hydrating and act as a tinted treatment with a high-shine finish. I have a few shades I keep on rotation depending on the day’s events, season, and mood. I reach for Picante, it’s a rosy shade that I wear on its own or over my Lip Definer in shade 02. The Posh Gloss in Ice is my go-to for when I’m looking for a minimal lip, it’s the ultimate crystal clear gloss. The formula uses lip-repairing active ingredients that moisturise and strengthen the lip barrier.”

10. Contouring for a sculpted face

Behind her ever-perfectly defined facial features lies a product that Victoria Beckham has been searching a long time for: the Contour Stylus.

At the launch of the contouring stick, she revealed her tips for perfect contouring:

“I always start at the nose, I draw 2 lines along my nose, and I draw a V on the tip of my nose. For this part, I always use my fingers to blend and I make sure I don't have any product in the centre of my nose so it stays light. I've always been a fan of contouring to create the illusion of a longer, thinner, more refined nose. I also like to contour my eyes, to create a base for a Smokey Eye, by drawing a line in the crease of the eyelid and under the lower lash line. I always draw 2 lines in the hollow of the cheekbones before blending with a brush to enhance the cheekbones. Finally, I draw 2 lines on the temples, which are blended in. This connects the forehead to the cheekbones to sculpt the face.’
