Popstar-turned-fashion mogul Victoria Beckham has claimed that her frugal diet of steamed veg and grilled fish, 'cured' her adult acne — but dermatologists aren't convinced. 

The fashion designer, 50, revealed she struggled with the painful skin condition at the height of her Spice Girl fame and still abides by a strict set of rules to keep it in check. 

In addition to giving up eating meat as a child, she now avoids eating wheat (which means most bread and cake) she told The Telegraph.

According to her husband David, she has eaten the same meal for the last 25 years — grilled fish and steamed veg.

But dermatologists stress that while a nutritious and balanced diet is important for maintaining healthy skin, a restrictive diet is not.

'There is no need to follow a strict diet, limited to only fish and vegetables, for a radiant complexion,' said Dr Thivi Maruthappu, consultant dermatologist, nutritionist and British Skin Foundation spokesperson.

'In fact it can actually have negative effects on our wellbeing in the long term.'

Dr Maruthappu added that while getting sufficient vitamins and protein from the diet can help promote plumped, clear skin, it won't necessarily cure acne. 

Victoria Beckham, 50, has revealed the real reason for her extreme diet which according to husband David has seen her eat the same thing for the last 25 years
