When Victoria Beckham dishes out beauty advice, you listen up. In a new interview with The Edit, Beckham swears that her secret to flawless skin starts in the kitchen. "I see a dermatologist in LA, called Dr. Harold Lancer, who is incredible. I've known him for years – he sorted my skin out," Beckham said. "I used to have really problematic skin and he said to me, 'You have to eat salmon every single day.' I said, 'Really, every day?' And he said, 'Yes; breakfast, lunch or dinner, you have to eat it every single day.'"
