At 58, actress and producer Salma Hayek stands out as a symbol of graceful aging. With radiant, gravity-defying skin, she focuses on a holistic approach to beauty and wellness. Recently named the first global ambassador for Ultherapy, a non-invasive anti-aging treatment, Salma showcases the power of science-backed skincare combined with self-care.
Mascara: A Clever Trick for Gray Hair
Though Salma has embraced her natural gray hair, she uses a surprising beauty hack to make her hair look younger without dyeing it. In a 2024 Instagram post, she revealed her secret: mascara.
Salma demonstrated how to apply mascara on gray hairs while running a comb through them. She explained, “Just do this, and all those little nasties will not only get darker but stay straight.” This simple trick offers a quick way to blend gray strands naturally.
Meditation Over Botox
In a July 2023 interview on Kelly Ripa’s podcast Let’s Talk Off Camera, Salma addressed rumors about her flawless skin. Instead of Botox, she credits meditation for her youthful appearance.
She described her unique meditation practice, which she developed to help with physical and health challenges. “I can do it for hours because I don’t feel the time, and it’s so fun,” she said. Salma explained how meditation flows through the body, creating positive sensations.
She added, “If I don’t do it for a while, guess what? My face starts to fall apart, everything starts to fall apart.” This ritual, she insists, is essential for maintaining her skin’s health.
Gentle and Consistent Skin Care
Salma avoids harsh skincare treatments like strong chemicals, exfoliation, or microdermabrasion. Instead, she prefers a simple and gentle routine.
“I’ve always been very cautious about my facials,” she said. “I’ve never done any exfoliation or microdermabrasion. Because of that, plus the products I use… I guess I just take good care of my skin.”
Her morning routine skips cleansing altogether. Instead, she spritzes rose water on her face. Salma told The New York Times, “My grandma taught me that at night the skin replenishes all the nutrients it loses during the day. And if I wash it well at night, why would I wake up with dirty skin?”
Nighttime Cleansing: A Non-Negotiable
While Salma skips morning face washing, she never misses cleansing her skin at night, no matter how tired she is.
“I’ve been focusing on skin care since I was very young,” she explained. “My grandma told me that no matter how tired you are, you should never go to bed without cleansing your skin.”
Salma recalled how in her early twenties, even after late nights of dancing, she would drag herself to the sink to wash her face, remembering her grandmother’s advice.
Embracing Ultherapy for Natural Lifting
Salma Hayek is the global ambassador for Ultherapy PRIME, a cutting-edge skin-tightening treatment by Merz Aesthetics. Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production without surgery or downtime.
“Self-care is so important,” Salma said. “My years on screen have taught me to embrace myself and seek treatments that enhance my natural beauty. Ultherapy PRIME boosts collagen and elastin production precisely where I need it, giving my skin a lasting, natural lift.”
She praised the treatment for being non-invasive, requiring only one session, and delivering results that last over a year. “It’s the future of beauty, which is why I keep talking about it,” she added.
Conclusion
Salma Hayek’s beauty secrets combine wisdom passed down from family, innovative treatments, and a gentle, mindful approach to skincare. Her commitment to meditation, consistency, and science-based care offers a valuable guide for aging with elegance and vitality.
