You don't have to tell us what you want (what you really, really want)—we already know that "glowing skin" is at the top of the list. And thanks to Victoria Beckham and Augustinus Bader, it's well within reach. The fashion and makeup mogul (whose beauty line Victoria Beckham Beauty is loved by celebs like Jennifer Coolidge), recently shared her skincare routine, and all it takes is three easy steps—and three Augustinus Bader products.

Beckham first started using the cult-favorite skincare brand, beloved for its clean ingredients and science-backed formulas, when her facialist Melanie Grant introduced her to the famous Rich Cream (from $96). Unsurprisingly, Beckham says she became "totally obsessed" with the luxurious formula. Since then, she's adopted a daily routine that includes the cream and two new products that were created as part of an exclusive collaboration between Beckham and Augustinus Bader.

In an Instagram post from Jan. 2024, the star gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek at her beauty regimen. "For my morning skincare routine after cleansing, I use [Victoria Beckham Beauty] Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum (from $125) and press the product into my skin. I’ve noticed this has improved the texture of my skin and I make sure to pay special attention to the eye area," she captioned the video. "I follow with the Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer (from $65), I also press this into the skin and then use upward motions to massage the formula in. It gives the skin such a beautiful radiance. Don’t forget the neck!!" Of course, Beckham also works in her go-to Rich Cream on the regular. Want to copy the star's 1-2-3 routine?

"For both morning and night, the first thing I put on my skin after cleansing is my Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum," Beckham explained in a 2021 interview with Byrdie. The product is designed to address past skin damage while protecting it against future factors like pollution and blue light, all while hydrating and nourishing. It also features the brand's proprietary Trigger Factor Complex (TFC8), an ingredient created using "natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules naturally found in skin." According to Professor Bader himself, it "respects healthy skin physiology and protects the skin barrier function." But don't just take their word for it. In user trials, 97 percent of users saw visible improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, while 96 percent of people said the product instantly hydrated their skin. Promising, indeed.

Beckham says this lightweight-yet-hydrating priming moisturizer, another product from the collab with TFC8, has "been a dream to develop, with Augustinus," and explains that it "works to improve the health of my skin and give me that fresh, natural glow that I love." She uses it as her second step, morning and night, though it can also be used alone for a subtle glow, or underneath your makeup to increase its performance. One reviewer raves, "When I add this to my routine I rarely need to add foundation. My skin looks plump, fresh and dewy."

Step 3: Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream

Finally, Beckham says, "if I am feeling super dry, I use Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream after our Priming Moisturizer." Not only was The Rich Cream the Augustinus Bader product that Beckham first fell in love with—it's a fave of PureWow editors, too. The cream is formulated with ingredients (including TFC8) intended to reduce signs of aging while hydrating, conditioning and renewing skin. It's also meant to protect against environmental aggressors while promoting elasticity and skin barrier function. After just a few days of using the cream, one former PureWow editor claims, "[my] skin was radiant, blemish-free and so much more hydrated." Consider it the cherry on top of the ultimate complexion-improving routine. Now if only Victoria could share the secret to snagging a soccer star hubby...
