This is the £12 eye mask Victoria Beckham swears by for fresh skin
She's a kickass fashion designer, mother-to-four and has even recently debuted her own beauty range (read our review right here). And despite previously admitting to getting up at 6am to cram in her workout, parenting and business duties, Victoria Beckham always manages to look perennially polished.
So what on earth are the secrets behind her glowing skin, glossy hair and lit-from-within glow? Well, dear readers, you're about to find out because GLAMOUR has done some hefty investigation into the star's beauty regime and we can bring you the answers.
From the luxe products she slathers on her skin to the surprisingly purse-friendly haircare buys she swears by, these are the beauty buys to snap up if you want to emulate Mrs B.
Victoria Beckham took to Instagram to share her pre-photoshoot skin prep regime and was using the 111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask, £12. Already a fan of the 111SKIN Meso Infusion Lip Mask and Plumping Duo, Victoria joins Kim Kardashian, Rosie-Huntington-Whiteley and Priyanka Chopra as fans of the 111SKIN range. A staple in the kits of top makeup artists like Wendy Rowe (who was working with VB on the shoot), Pati Dubroff, Valeria Ferreira and Kenneth Soh, the hydro-gel eye patches are hailed as the best quick-fix for addressing concerns around the eyes. The formula contains AMF, which increases hydration, retinol to retexture skin, vitamins to improve discolouration, and a potent peptide to fight lines, with the penetration of these ingredients improved by black diamond particles. If it's good enough for Mrs B...
Victoria needs her beauty sleep just as much as the rest of us, recently taking to Instagram to share a snap of her favourite pillowcase. Victoria gets her 40 winks on a Slip pillowcase. Silk fibers are significantly less absorbent than many other fibers, so they can help keep your skin’s moisture and expensive face and hair products where they belong, on your face and hair. The pillow can help to reduce friction, which can reduce stretching and tugging on delicate facial skin so you can literally wake up with better skin without doing a single thing.
Mrs B. recently took to her Instagram stories to announce that she was trialling a series of anti-ageing products from Dr. Barbara Sturm, including a £1,200 face cream formulated with her own cells and blood. So why the vampiric moisturiser? As Victoria explained on her story, the blood helps create 'healing factors' which can lead to reduced inflammation, strengthened tissue and collagen growth.
In a recent interview with Elle.com, VB revealed that the secret to her youthful complexion is making her own face masks using Manuka Honey. She explained: “Mix Manuka honey with organic oatmeal and egg white. Mix it all together and put it on your face for a few minutes, and it’s amazing. But it’s got to be Manuka honey, not regular honey. And it’s got to be organic oatmeal.” But why Manuka Honey? Manuka Honey provides a natural kick for the skin, helping to boost elastin and cell regeneration. With renowned antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which work with its moisturising abilities, this natural wonder is a gift for healthier, more nourished skin and the perfect all-rounder for every skin type. We'll be snapping some up ASAP.
One of Victoria's favourite beauty buys is the Weleda Skin Food, which is £11 and is packed with extracts of viola tricolor, calendula and chamomile. Delish. Victoria calls it her 'body secret', explaining: "What I love about it is that it's not particularly expensive and you can find it anywhere. The formula is so thick and buttery. When I have a tan, I'll mix it with coconut oil—the same you use to cook with—and cover my entire body with it. I suppose some people may not like the greasiness, but it helps me hold on to the colour. And by the time I leave the house, I feel as if it's really sunk in. Like my skin's had a good drink. I go through so many of these... I wish they had bigger ones."
To keep her skin squeaky clean, Victoria relies on Sarah Chapman's Skinesis Ultimate Cleanse, £44. It's even been rumoured that Victoria recommended the facialist to none other than Meghan Markle.
We love a budget beauty buy here at GLAMOUR HQ and it seems that Mrs B does, too. To remove her makeup, she loves the Bioderma wipes, which are an absolute steal at just £7.
To prep her skin before applying her foundation, Victoria turns to the super luxe Crème de la Mer's Moisturising Soft Lotion. It costs £200 so may be out of most people's beauty budgets but if it's good enough for VB...
To keep her hair glossy and sleek, Victoria turns to Clynol extra strong hold hairspray, which costs just £4.95.
Get the Mrs B glow courtesy of Burberry's £40 Fresh Glow Foundation, which leaves her skin radiant and dewy without caking.
To wash her hair, Victoria loves Oribe's £32 shampoo and £33 conditioner. The star, whose hair is constantly glossy and perfectly groomed, says both smell 'incredible'.
David and Victoria (as well as the entire Kardashian brood) have relied on LA-based dermatologist, Dr Lancer, for years. So, it's little surprise that she swears by Dr. Lancer's The Method Polish, £59, for keeping her skin clear.
