Turning certain ages in Hollywood can be problematic, especially if you are a woman. Having those first gray hairs or signs of aging on the skin seem like a sure sentence for the film industry to forget about them forever. There are those who choose to undergo all kinds of aesthetic treatments to fight against the passage of time, but also those who embrace it and let nature take its course.
One of them is Salma Hayek, whose natural beauty has never gone unnoticed, but who takes the opportunity given to her by platforms such as social networks to show that having wrinkles or the occasional gray hair does not have to be a trauma. Proof of this is her latest publication, in which she has shared a close-up selfie in which she shows precisely her gray hair and wrinkles.
“Me waking up and counting how many wrinkles and gray hairs sneaked into the party this morning,” writes the Mexican, showing a very close-up of the upper part of her face. At 56 years old, she is great, and that is how part of her more than 24 million followers on the social network made it known to her.
“Bella!” compliments her friend, model Cindy Crawford, compliments that are joined by actresses Olivia Wilde, Catherine Bell and veteran soap opera actresses Ãfrica Zavala and Lorena Meritano. Other anonymous followers also applauded the unfiltered naturalness of the actress and producer, drawing attention to the reality of aging.
“There is no reason to hide them, you are a beautiful woman and you will always be shining,” one of her followers tells her, while others compliment her, pointing out that she is aging like the best of wines. “I love that you love yourself as is and let the years show. You are very beautiful and natural, that is to be admired. My respect for you,” says another of them.
It is not the first time that the protagonist of Frida is shown without filters or retouching on social networks, since it is common to see photographs of her just out of bed or without makeup on her days off. In 2020, the Mexican even showed two photos so that her followers could compare the state of her hair, how she had it before and how she had it after dyeing it an intense brown for one of her projects. In photos from the past, her gray hair was unapologetic.
The actress has always been in favor of appearing as natural as possible, and in addition to genes that many would kill for, she has a routine that she follows by heart to appear perfect. Now surprisingly and even having access to whatever she wanted, she doesn’t use expensive products or non-invasive techniques, instead she is more of Grandma’s old tricks, rose water being the secret to her eternal youth. .
As she herself said, she is not a supporter of skin infiltrations.
“Have I had Botox? No, not yet. And I’ll tell you why: it’s just logical. When you exercise, you notice a difference in your skin and muscle tone, because the oxygenation and circulation help rejuvenate the body immediately” She told Vogue, “If you kill the muscle, if you paralyze it and your face doesn’t move, it’s going to affect all the other muscles around it. So wait as long as you can for Botox because you’re going to age faster with that. you’ll see better in the short term, but you have to do more and more and more and the whole face starts to fall apart!”
