“I’m nearly 60! At this stage, it wouldn’t have crossed my mind. The first thing you get is—what is that word?—impostor syndrome.”
On the Today show with Savannah Guthrie, she further revealed her thoughts about representation and unexpected success:
“When I was young and hot, I used to look at this magazine. I wanted to see the new girl of the moment. It never crossed my mind I could be on that cover because they didn’t look like me… And for it to happen when I’m 58? It’s really shocking.”
Hayek’s Natural Approach to Beauty Without Botox or Fillers
Salma Hayek remains transparent about her skincare routine, emphasizing her reliance on natural remedies over cosmetic procedures. She champions Tepezcohuite, a bark-based ingredient traditionally used to treat burn victims in Mexico. Hayek told Elle in 2015,
“I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite… It completely regenerates the skin,”
highlighting her commitment to authentic beauty.
In addition, she credits restorative yoga, juice cleanses, and daily walks with her dogs, whom she affectionately calls her trainers, for maintaining her health and vitality without resorting to Botox or fillers.
Maintaining Strength and Passion in Career and Marriage
Contrary to common assumptions about aging, Hayek insists that growing older has not slowed her down professionally or personally. She shared with Glamour magazine last year,
“I thought getting older meant I wasn’t going to work. I’m working,”
and added,
“I thought getting older meant maybe you’re not in love anymore. I’m in love… I haven’t lost my flexibility or strength… I’m still here.”
Her marriage to François-Henri Pinault, CEO of Kering, has been a lasting partnership since 2009. Pinault’s company oversees luxury fashion houses including Gucci, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen, connecting Hayek not only to the entertainment industry but also to influential figures in global fashion.
