- Salma Hayek recently posted a photo without any makeup in which she showed off her “white hair and wrinkles” up close.
- After waking up, she took the picture to count how many of each person “crashed the party.”
- The 56-year-old boldly shares all sides of herself with the world and follows a simple skincare routine to maintain her glow.
Over the past several months, Salma Hayek has worn some incredibly glitzy outfits, including a nude dress to the Magic Mike 3 premiere, a plunging purple gown to the Cannes Film Festival, and a crimson tulle ballgown to the Met Gala. But the star’s latest Instagram unveils her duality—in a makeup-free selfie, Hayek shows off the “white hairs and wrinkles” you don’t always see on the red carpet.
Salma Hayek recently posted a photo without any makeup
The extreme close-up image shows Hayek’s forehead, nose, and brown eyes. Her face is framed with wispy silver flyaways that can be seen through her chocolate hair. “Me waking up and counting how many white hairs and wrinkles have crashed the party this morning,” she candidly captioned the post.
Although she didn’t reveal a grand total, her followers loved the authenticity. “Thank you for sharing! It helps all of [us] to see that even the most beautiful and famous also age ❤️,” one person commented. “You’re just a real natural human being and that beautiful! Thank you 👏,” another added. “Natural beauty is ageless💚💚,” someone else wrote.
Putting appearances aside, Hayek, 56, considers aging to be “beautiful.” She said that all of her assumptions about getting older were false when she spoke to Glamour in February. “I thought getting older meant I wasn’t going to work; I’m working,” she said. “I thought getting older maybe meant that you’re not in love anymore; I’m in love. I don’t feel that I lost my flexibility or my agility or even my strength. I do have to say that I have found it beautiful, getting older with someone.”
Hayek thinks that, frankly, “everything” gets better with age, she told Glamour, which explains why she exists so freely, whether she’s fully decked out in camera-ready glam or snapping a makeup-free swimsuit Instagram—another type of photo she shares often because she finds it “liberating,” she told Entertainment Tonight in 2021. “I have no shame on it,” she added.
She uses basic, organic skincare products—like coconut oil from the kitchen—to wash and remove makeup. “Then I use rose water to take off the residuals,” she told The New York Times in 2017. She also never washes her face in the morning, so as not to wash away “all the oils that your skin needs to look youthful,” she told British GQ in February.
