Singer turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham is celebrating her 50th birthday today (April 17) but she could easily pass for 10 years younger. The former Spice Girl looks almost as fresh-faced as she did 28 years ago in her signature LBD, and thankfully, she’s not one to gatekeep her beauty secrets.
There are a number of skincare and makeup favourites Posh has shared over the years that help her achieve her age-defying, perpetually youthful appearance. From luxurious celeb-approved moisturisers, to more affordable multi-use gems – not to mention her own cosmetics brand, there is literally no expense spared in Posh’s beauty bag.
After digging through a decades worth of interviews and social media posts, we’ve uncovered some of the products that make up Victoria Beckham’s beauty regimen and are responsible for her fresh faced look at 50.

Brands that feature include the likes of Augustinus Bader, Caudalie, Dr Paw Paw and more, with prices starting from under £10. That said, the Wannabe singer is a big advocate for switching up your products so your skin doesn’t get ‘used’ to them, and loves to try new things, telling IntoTheGloss: “The older I get, the more my skin settles down… over time, you learn what works for you.”
Here are five products that have been used by Victoria Beckham, and where to buy them.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream – £74
Augustinus Bader – The Rich Cream 15ml
If you’ve ever wondered how the former Spice Girl member manages to achieve her bright and beautiful glow, it could be down to this luxury skincare product she said she’s been using ‘for years’. Coming in at £74 for 15ml, it’s certainly not cheap, but it’s one she consistently swears by, having mentioned it in interviews with Glamour, while also tipping it as one of her top three products in a TikTok video last year, too.
The hydrating facial moisturiser claims to reduce signs of ageing including the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Formulated with multi-tasking vitamin A, protective antioxidants, and soothing aloe vera, The Cream is recommended for normal to dry skin, and combination to oily complexions.
Victoria uses this ultra-luxe moisturiser as a part of her nighttime routine, and its hydrating properties and anti-ageing ingredients are perfect to help wind down after a long day. She said: “I love a good face massage when I’m putting on my night-time skin care—just my Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum and Augustinus Bader’s Rich Cream,”
With its potent blend of hydrating ingredients and anti-aging properties, it’s no wonder Victoria turns to this rich cream to nourish and rejuvenate her skin.
It’s not the only AB product she uses, either. In an Instagram post last month, the mum-of-three shared some of her other favourites from the premium brand, which she collaborated with. She said: “On a sunday morning, I try and 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 with my Victoria Beckham Beauty Daily Cleansing Protocol followed by a session under my LED mask and then VBB x AB Power Serum and Priming Moisturiser and ready to go for the day.”
Dr. Paw Paw Original Balm – £7.25

Posh Spice is one busy woman, so it’s no surprise that multi-tasking, on the go beauty buys are her go-to. When it comes to maintaining hydrated lips and nourished cuticles, Victoria Beckham relies on the affordable Dr. Paw Paw.
This multi-purpose balm is a staple in her beauty arsenal, revealing on the Breaking Beauty Podcast that she uses the product ‘most often’, and while its primary function is as a lip balm, the product has a number of uses – from moisturising dry elbows, to softening your cuticles.
Clear in colour, and with a formula that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, the balm is elsewhere stocked at LookFantastic, Boots, and Holland & Barrett. It is also available in red and peach, to give your pout a pop of colour, while still keeping it hydrated and nourished.
The vegan lip balm is made from 100 per cent natural ingredients, including papaya to rejuvenate, aloe vera with soothing antibacterial properties, and olive oil which gently moisturises the skin. As well as restoring existing cracked lips, it’s a great idea to use this buy to prevent rough lips from forming, as one layer creates a barrier against cold air and dehydrating wind. Pick up a tube here, and from experience, these last months.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir – £18
Caudalie Beauty Elixir
For that coveted Victoria Beckham glow, look no further than the Caudalie Beauty Elixir. Makeup artists swear by this as a radiance boosting setting spray whilst others use it to awaken dull skin throughout the day, toning your pores to be flawless.
The 100 per cent natural, vegan formula contains essential oils that tone skin, refine pores, soothe and add an instant boost of radiance while moisturising the skin and smoothing fine lines. The elixir is a multi-use product; it can be used in your makeup, skincare and aromatherapy routine.
Available at Escentual, this £18 mist is hailed by Victoria herself as the secret to her radiant complexion. She said “Caudalie from Paris gives you a glowing complexion, use it on top of your makeup.”
French skincare is a huge trend at the moment, and more recently, supermodel Kendall Jenner used the spray in a video on Vogue.com. That’s not all… The Beauty Elixir is also adored by Holly Willoughby, Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Blake Lively and so many more.
Escentual’s Campaigns and PR Editor Ceryn Askins said: “The Caudalie Beauty Elixir is a great product for an instant glow up. It can be used day and night and brings a youthful dewy radiance to the skin in seconds which is perfect for this “Spring French girl” look. One of the key active ingredients is green grape extract which promotes radiance and is an effective anti-ageing ingredient. The mist also contains rose, rosemary essential oils to boost hydration and lemon balm to reduce redness.”
Victoria Beckham The Daily Cleansing Protocol – £100

In September 2019, Victoria launched her own beauty brand, so it’s no surprise that her own cleansing duo is part of her regular routine. This two-step regimen, featuring an oil cleanser and a gentle gel cleanser, is designed to remove makeup, impurities, and buildup while leaving the skin refreshed and glowing.
Crafted in collaboration with renowned aesthetician Melanie Grant, these products are the epitome of luxury and efficacy, ensuring that Victoria’s skin remains luminous and youthful day after day.
She’s also previously used the Sarah Chapman Ultimate Cleanse, with Victoria adding: “I have a few different cleansers because I think it’s important to change up what you use so your skin doesn’t get too used to it.”
This Works In Transit Camera Close-Up – £33

A handbag must-have, this all-in-one mask, moisturiser and primer ensures a long-lasting, perfect finish to your makeup – and VB has been reportedly been a fan since 2014.
The fashion designer has previously confessed her love for their In Transit Camera Close-Up, sharing the product on Twitter with the caption: “This does work!”
This Works In Transit Camera Close Up features Bio Boost, This Works’s powerful new blend of repairing plant oils, as well as hyaluronic acid, argan and starflower oils plus a hit of caffeine. As a multi-tasking product, its revitalising formula rapidly erases signs of fatigue and boosts hydration, reducing redness and the appearance of wrinkles, leaving skin looking natural and glowing.
