David Beckham has revealed details of his beauty regime - including moisturising, eye cream and manicures.
The Real Madrid star came clean after being voted the world's Most Beautiful Sports Icon by America's People magazine.
He admitted to taking tips from wife Victoria, who is equally obsessed with looking good.
Beckham, 30 next month, said: "I've learned a lot. Being out in the cold and rain doesn't help your skin, so moisturiser in the morning is a big thing.
"And at night it's the eye cream. A manicure is probably my favourite pampering splurge."
Beckham is the only British sports star in the annual 50 Most Beautiful People poll.
He also denies his wife's infamous suggestion that he wears her G-strings.
"I wouldn't get them past my knees," he said.
Last year, Victoria Beckham revealed she smothers beauty creams on her husband at bedtime.
She said: "David is very much a new man, totally in touch with his feminine side. He loves having his face and nails done."
He also plucks his eyebrows and has spray-on tans, and famously wore pink nail polish at the christening of Elizabeth Hurley's son Damian.
Beckham is said to favour La Prairie eye cream, which costs more than £50 for 15ml.
The footballer also regularly changes his hairstyle and says his biggest regret was when a dye temporarily left it black.
The England captain also boasts that his wife says his best feature is his bottom. "She likes it because it's firm," he said.
However, Beckham told the magazine he doesn't like the look of his feet.
Legal proceedings launched by the Beckhams against their former nanny for breach of confidence are set to reach the High Court today.
The couple decided to take action following claims by Abbie Gibson in a newspaper that their six-year marriage was on the rocks. She is said to have received an estimated £300,000 for the story.
Holy crap! Is stubble now a metrosexual thing? I thought I was being just being lazy. Turns out I'm trendy.
I've always found it a bit funny that so many people throughout the world idolize Beckham. Sure, he's a great footballer, but he's no better than a few dozen other players in the world.
For someone to be a dominant sports personality, should they not also be a dominant athlete (ala Lance Armstrong)?
Now if only they put as much time and thought into their souls.
Shameless vanity of the rich and famous. Nothing more important to do than buy the most expensive moisturizer on the market. So rough.
One of his secrets is that he doesn't put meat in his mouth if it has been cooked.
That was a well placed Ponch : Youre a homo pic!
i just started saying it, probabley saw it somewhere and never fully registered it, then started using it, don't know for sure.
:) Too funny. LOL!
BTW, does that picture mean Ponch is also gay?

Ah. Egalitarian androgeny and queerishness. Next thing you know, women will start farting and scratching in public.
not sure, but i'm told girls find it sexy or something
Where is the BARF alert???
I'm with kitkat - like the new spelling. You should consider it your own, and start a trend.
What an effeminate. This is the state of masculinity in the 21st century?
This is just wrong.
who?
i'll be back in a few hours, i'll be at the u.s. copyright office.
Well his "beauty" sure didn't help him in Euro 2004 when he shanked that penalty kick against Portugal.
He wants to be more of a woman than I am. He already uses more stuff than I do.
Oh well, better her husband than mine. I like my men manly, and would prbably roll on the floor laughing if I ever caught him using my eye cream or if he dyed his hair.
