Ran across an article today about how Victoria Beckhamis using a special food from Japan to combat her acne that she has fought with for many years.

The wife of soccer star David Beckham, Victoria has been eating something called Natto, made from fermented soy beans, because its vitamin PPQ content helps fix scarred skin and also increases energy levels.

A source said:

“Victoria says natto tastes weird and smells a bit horrible but you only have to eat a small portion to get the benefits. She has just been having two small pots a day, sometimes with rice.”

“She has been able to relax her super-strict diet and eat and drink more of what she likes, such as green tea ice-cream and her all-time favourite, champagne! David is very happy about it and Victoria has already noticed a difference - even though she has only eaten it for a couple of weeks.”

Victoria is said to be “thrilled” after gaining 8lbs, especially as she and David are trying for another baby, and feels her self-esteem has improved greatly.

The source added:

“Victoria’s confidence is really growing. She is looking fantastic and so natural that she’s comfortable being seen out in the casual Los Angeles look nowadays.”

Even though she has gained a few pounds on her very slight frame, Victoria is happy with the new look and so apparently is David Beckham

Most people feel apprehensive when they visit a dermatologist for the first time. They feel very odd about having somebody go and pick around at your face. You will also be showing off things that you spend a lot of time trying to hide as well. When you begin “shopping around” for a dermatologist, you will want to make a list of what you are looking for and what your concerns are. You want to find someone who is concerned with your needs and your mental stability, versus someone who is mostly concerned with your acne instead of you. Consider these few questions: Read the rest of this entry »
