Victoria Beckham is one of those woman that just fascinates us. Whether it’s singing her heart out as our beloved Posh Spice, dropping her nose contour tutorial (it’s got millions of views FYI) or giving us her entire skin care routine, if Victoria is saying it, we want to hear.
Undoubtedly by now you’ve heard the rumbling rumours about has she or hasn’t she had plastic surgery? If she has access to all the top doctors surely she’s had some cosmetic work done. Well according to Victoria, she stands by the fact that she’s never touched her nose. But that still leaves one question on our lips. How is her skin so incredibly plump and glowy? Well we know that recent additions to her skin care line (a double cleanse ICYMI) definitely contribute to her fantastic skin. But it wasn’t until recently we found out exactly what Victoria Beckham swears by to boost her collagen intake.
What does Victoria Beckham eat?
Now when we think of boosting our collagen intake, our brains don’t naturally go to what foods we can eat to help. But thankfully LA dermatologist Dr Harold Lancer once told Victoria to eat a certain one every single day to help with her once problematic skin.
So, what is it that Victoria believes in so strongly?
Surprisingly, salmon! Yep, Victoria Beckham eats grilled salmon each and every day, as her dermatologist recommended it to help boost her natural collagen production. Not only is salmon a delicious and nutritious addition to your recipes, it’s also packed with nourishing omega-3 fatty acids. Those nourishing acids help to regulate your gut microbiome, along with helping to boost your beauty.
The best collagen supplements to shop
We get it, committing to eating salmon each and every day is not only costly, it’s not for everyone’s palates. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have skin as bountifully plump as Victoria’s. After consulting with your doctor, adding in a collagen supplement to your diet can work to help to boost your skin’s plumpness.
Check out these choices:
Nature’s Way Beauty Collagen Mature Skin Tablets ($35.99 at Priceline)
Swisse Collagen Glow Gummies ($15 (usually $30) at Woolworths)
Habitual Beauty Advanced Skin + Gut Health Collagen Elixir ($110 at Adore Beauty)
Vida Glow Natural Marine Collagen Original ($40 at Sephora)
Why is collagen important?
Over time, your skin naturally starts loosing it’s elasticity. With collagen production slowing, finding ways to naturally help boost it back up to maintain supple, strong skin is key. But what does having ‘good’ or high collagen elasticity mean? Well, keeping the levels high can help to slow the visible signs of ageing, with plumped up skin meaning the appearance of fewer fine lines.

Do you take any collagen supplements? What do you think of Victoria’s salmon diet?
I eat it too a lot but not every single day – couple times a week is enough for me! I eat it to boost my protein levels but it does seem to have so many other benefits too.
I like somon but every day is probably too much for me
We usually have salmon once a week with chips and salad. Love it.
I would get tired of eating the same thing everyday
I agree -I like to look forward to different meals and enjoy different flavours
The way she always stays so slim I would have guessed that she doesn’t eat!!!
I can’t eat salmon
I couldn’t eat salmon every day, but I take a collagen supplement every day. I’ve been taking The Beauty Chef for the past year and this week I started on Imbibe.
Every single day would be a boring way to eat, I take supplements..
I agree
Collagen is important, but I prefer to get it from other sources, being vegetarian.
Same here, like fresh fruit and veg.
I can’t believe they eat the same meals day in and day out either, I would not want to eat salmon daily.
I love salmon but too expensive to eat every day
I eat salmon once or twice a week; good to know that’s good for my skin as well as general health
Love salmon but I don’t think I could eat it every day – it would get too boring. I like variety for my meals.
I do however take collagen powder or liquid every day now that I’m older. This was suggested to me by a dietitian when I was having a few skin issues like dry skin. It definitely helps your skin to stay plump and smooth in texture, and it’s so easy to incorporate into your diet.
Salmon is a good thing to eat for so many reasons. Unfortunately I don’t like it much!
I love salmon, but daily is a bit much.
and expensive !!
Agreed everyday gets a bit much for sure.
I love collagen it really helped me during my postpartum phase, it really works
I never notice results from orally ingesting collagen.
I really like salmon and could certainly eat it every day too, however others in the family aren’t quite so much in agreement.😄
salmon everyday ?? Mind you the same thing everyday would be very boring.
I love to eat salmon.
Hadn’t considered an oral supplement
Not for me, also there is no proof that taking collegen supplements actually work. Better to eat lots of fresh fruit and raw veg.
I feel it is the same for all supplements really?? But I do have a vitamin D tablet each day??
It is a good routine if you can stick to it.
