Victoria Beckham reveals the REAL reason for her extreme diet and admits she never cooks due to daughter Harper, 13, joking she can ‘burn water’
Victoria Beckham has revealed the real reason for her extreme diet, which according to husband David, has seen her eat the same thing for the last 25 years.
The fashion designer, 50, said she first give up meat when she was only eight and now continues to abide by a strict set of rules for the sake of her skin, after struggling with acne at the height of her Spice Girls fame.
Victoria said she now also avoids certain wheats and flours and keeps her complexion radiant with a £2,000 Dermalux LED device, which she uses for 30-minutes every morning.
She told The Telegraph: ‘It was because of my skin that I became very careful about what I ate.’
Victoria also admitted that she now never cooks after previously trying to master the art when the family lived in Spain, after David signed for Real Madrid in 2003.
She quipped: ‘[My daughter] Harper says I can burn water, so it’s probably better for everyone that I don’t’.
Victoria and David, who wed in 1999, are parents to Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.
She also admitted that the reason she always used to look so stern in pictures is because she was self-conscious about her skin.
Over the years, the fashion designer became synonymous for her steely pout, often failing to crack a smile at many a public event.
Victoria has long been open about her insecurity with her ‘problematic’ skin, having suffered with acne since her teens, and struggled soaring to fame in her twenties while having skin issues.
As she reflected on being acutely self-conscious about her looks, she remarked: ‘probably I did look stern in a lot of pictures, but I was so uncomfortable’.
Victoria isn’t the only celeb who has opted for LED treatment, with Light Therapy Masks favoured by A-listers like Kaley Cuoco, Carey Mulligan, Kristen Davis and Suki Waterhouse.
Using a combination of red and infrared light, the at-home beauty device claims to boosts circulation, smooths skin texture, and stimulates collagen production, leaving skin looking plumper and younger.
