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.
Too bad she is uglier than a pig.
This man uses a skin softener in the morning and evening
don't watch much soccer, the game i did see he got kicked in the ankle and it was all bloody, he then blew a penalty kick, doubt it was the same game.
My favorite soccer story.....
Bert Trautman was the Manchecter City goalie back in the fifties.....In the FA Cup final he was kicked in the neck but continued to play. After the match x-rays revealed he had broken his neck! Now that's tough! And, in passing, Trautman was a paratrooper in the Wehrmacht during the war.
Well, I can see why he thinks he needs eye creams. He's only 30 and has the lines around his eyes of a 40yr old.(or more). Keep slathering it on!
Nope
Yes it is.
the mods granted my request and added it.
I guess painting your nails is out too?
Yep, if Beckham had played back in the 60s or 70s, he would have had his legs broken. Back then the game was much rougher. But that is the case with every sport I guess.
Totally.
That, and Conrad Hilton's musing on one of his wives primping habits. A Gabor, iirc.
And Victoria is very much a "new female," desiring "new males" rather than real men.
Still haven't gotten over how in one of the debates Kerry said we should be supportive of men who leave their wife and kids to be with a man.
