I reviewed Victoria Beckham’s 3 Step Routine

You voted for this blog on Instagram, and I totally get why. Victoria Beckham is about to turn 50 and looks as fabulous as she did during her Spice Girls days.

Earlier this week, she shared her minimalist, 3-step skincare routine from her chic New York hotel room, and it certainly caught my attention.

Victoria Beckham's 3-Step Skincare Routine

In a video posted to social media, Victoria revealed that she simply cleanses with an undisclosed product, then follows up with her own brand’s face serum and moisturiser, twice a day.

But can these three products alone deliver her plump, wrinkle-free complexion? Let’s take a closer look.

The Missing Ingredient: SPF

Cleanser, face serum, and moisturiser are essential steps in any good skincare regime. However, the initial red flag for me was the absence of SPF. If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that sunscreen protects against up to 90% of skin aging. Without it, all Victoria’s efforts with her treatment products could quickly be undone.

Eye Care: An Overlooked Area

Victoria mentioned her main concern was minimising fine lines around her eyes. The skin in this area is about 40% thinner than the rest of the face, requiring extra attention to keep it youthful. If Victoria applied a separate eye product under her face serum, it could significantly smooth her skin and undo damage.

The Surprising Lack of Exfoliation

My final observation was the lack of exfoliation after cleansing. Without this crucial step, dead skin cells build up on the surface, causing a dull complexion and preventing the face serum and moisturiser from penetrating properly. This could drastically stunt her results.

The Full Routine: More Than Meets the Eye

A few days after Victoria’s initial post, she shared a follow-up image of herself wearing an LED face mask with the caption, “More is more when it comes to my skincare routine.” Over the years, she has openly discussed using clinic-based treatments to help her look and feel her best. This nod to additional tools, regular facials, and extra skincare products reminds us that there’s more to her beauty regime than just three products.

The 5-Step Solution

While three steps are a good start, a few key components are missing for effective, all-around results. That’s why The 5 Minute Kit is based on five steps each morning and night, targeting every aspect of skin aging. If Victoria incorporated these steps, minimal intervention might be required elsewhere.
