SALMA Hayek is the epitome of aging gracefully, but she also has a few tricks up her sleeve.
One involves a Mexican plant traditionally used on burn victims.
Salma clearly looked much younger than her years, with several fans pointing it out in the comments section.
“There must be something in the tequila,” one wrote.
“My goodness you look so young,” another fan commented on the post.
“Happy birthday,” said a third. “You look stunning. 58 and thriving.”
“She’s still got it, and will never lose it,” yet another chimed in.
“I swear you never age,” one more commented. “Still beautiful as ever.”
An ingredient not commonly used in the US may be the reason for her glowing skin.
In an interview with Elle, Salma dished the details on how she keeps her complexion looking young and taut.
“I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin,” she told Elle.
“And there’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us.”
She attributed her youthful appearance to the ingredients, saying she doesn’t use Botox, peels, or fillers.
Salma Hayek recently celebrated her birthday yesterday, turning 58 years old.
“Birthday bikini dump, happy 58th birthday to me,” she captioned an Instagram post of herself on a yacht.
“P.S. none of these are throwbacks.”
Tepezcohuite is a popular ingredient in skincare products.
Tepezcohuite is known for its effects on healing burns, as proven by a study.
It is derived from the Mimosa tenuiflora tree bark.
Due to its ability to heal skin, it has also made its way into anti-aging products.
While it’s not commonly used in the US, many skincare products containing it can be purchased online.
Its use in beauty products is due to its ability to promote skin healing.
Creams and serums containing the ingredient can smooth over signs of aging, such as dark spots and fine lines.
It also works as an antioxidant that protects the skin from damage.
Salma doesn’t just look younger than her years – she clearly finds time to let her inner child out.
In a reel posted on Instagram, she was filmed dancing on a yacht.
“Timeless beauty,” one fan commented on the post. “Keep dancing, sister.”
