You Won’t Believe the Crazy Skincare Secrets of This 57-year old Eternals Star

"I keep waiting to meet a man who has more balls than I do."

In a world where everyone in showbiz tries every trick in the book to slow down aging as time progresses, Salma Hayek does so without breaking a sweat. The Eternals star has graced screens and red carpets globally with her trademark panache and poise. Incredibly, the actress has repeatedly revealed that most of her beauty secrets are organic in nature. She relies heavily on meditation and mindfulness exercises.

Her meditation habits have yielded rich rewards for her in terms of her health and retaining her vibrant youthfulness. “…Sometimes when I’m doing it (meditation), people tell me when I come out of the room, ‘Oh my God, you look 20 years old,’” Salma Hayek told Hello! magazine in an interview. The influence of meditation is not just limited to aesthetics. For the Oscar-nominated actress, a break from her meditation and other wellness practices causes physical changes in her appearance and also debilitation of her health. She further added, “When I don’t [meditate] for some time, guess what? Not only [does] the face starts to drop and everything starts to drop, [but also] my herniated disc, the problem in my neck, the problem in my hip, my ankles [comes back]. I start breaking down.”

Hayek has recently spoken about her evolving a meditation of her own to tackle certain pain-related issues and other health problems. She told US Weekly about her herniated disc and problems in her neck, hip, and ankles, ” because of a lot of things in my body and health issues, somehow I developed this strange meditation that I keep evolving. I can do it for hours because I don’t feel the time, and it’s so much fun.” She explained, “It’s actually feeling the energy. It moves and dances inside of you, different feelings and sensations.”

In addition to meditation, Hayek also uses several non-invasive beauty solutions, including radiofrequency and microfrequency machines. She told Hello! “, I do a lot of the frequency machines, and they work on me better than on anyone.” A star of Hayek’s caliber having a minimalist approach to skincare and health is incredibly inspiring for her adoring fans and the rest of the moviegoing audiences.

Hayek has some unique bits of advice to give people for a healthy and youthful face. These bits are based on her life experiences. For instance, she told Allure.com that she only cleansed her face at night, and not after waking up. “My grandmother taught me that at night your skin replenishes all the things you lost during the day. Also, if I cleanse very well at night, why would it be dirty when I wake up?”

Now we know the real secret of her flawless skin!
