Victoria Beckham’s Beauty Secrets Revealed: The Skincare Tips That Transformed Her Face

If there is one thing Victoria Beckham is known for, (aside from her impeccable sense of style, that is) it’s her vast, tried-and-tested knowledge on the world’s best beauty products. The former Spice Girl has been very open about her skin struggles over the years, and has often discussed how picking up tips and trying amazing skincare has transformed her face.

One of the brands she consistently recommends is Augustinus Bader and it’s easy to see why. The science-led skincare brand is seen as the Rolls Royce of products in the beauty world, due to their exquisite ingredients list, which is free from parabens and artificial nasties, and clinically proven to help combat the effects of ageing.

The mother-of-four turned 50 last year and has never looked younger or more radiant. When Victoria flies all over the world, she loves to stock up on her favourite products for her in-flight beauty bag. One of the creams she can’t be without mid air is the hugely popular ‘Augustinus Bader Rich Cream’, which she has name checked so many times.

Instantly recognisable due to the iconic blue and rose gold bottle, the non-scented cream is great for sensitive skin that’s irritated by certain aromas. It gives the skin an illusive, cushioning and plumping effect that makes you look seriously well-rested. No wonder VB is a fan.

I was offered the chance to have a stunning facial by Augustinus Bader at the super luxurious Corinthia Hotel in London, and I was so excited to see if the products live up to their hype.

After sampling the stunning spa facilities which included a variety of therapy pools and an epic ‘Sleep Pod’ (yes, really, it was actually divine) I had the Longevity Facial, which is 75 minutes long and costs £335.

First things first, my therapist Adele led me to a designated area, where I had a skincare analysis. I placed my head inside a machine, which sounds rather frightening, but it really wasn’t. Adele made me feel at ease, and explained that the device checks out the health of a patient’s skin and susses out the areas that can be improved. The machine then takes high definition images to determine what needs work.

I was so shocked to see just how much sun damage I had acquired over the years, and how formidable my eye bags looked, but I do think it’s really great to detect what you can work on with your skincare moving forward. It’s a unique part of the treatment I had never experienced before in a facial and I found it helpful and quite frankly, enlightening.

Adele went through all the products she would be using from Augustinus Bader’s range. The items have unique cell-renewing technology, and I could feel the quality of the cleanser, moisturiser and mask as it was applied. With the lightest touch, Adele focused on massaging my skin, paying special attention to my jaw line, and she then used advanced LYMA laser therapy, which stimulates collagen production, as well as boosting blood circulation. It sounds invasive, but it was gentle and I welcomed the new technique.
