The Secret Ingredient to Salma Hayek's Timeless Beauty Revealed

Some celebrities seem to have discovered the fountain of youth and never appear to age. While it's not due to excessive Botox treatments, it does leave us wondering what their secret could be. Thankfully, a few have been kind enough to share their secrets with us.

Salma Hayek's youthful appearance is a testament to her go-to skincare ingredient, which she revealed back in 2015. At 48, we were already impressed and listening carefully, but now that she's 54 and still looks stunning, it's clear that this ingredient is the real deal.

In her interview with Elle, Hayek shared her thoughts on a variety of topics including beauty, life advice, food, and friends. When it came to tepezcohuite, she had this to say:

Our company utilizes a unique ingredient known as tepezcohuite, which is commonly used in Mexico for burn victims due to its exceptional ability to regenerate the skin. Interestingly, we have found that no other companies in the United States are currently using this ingredient. When we brought some of our ingredients to American labs, we were met with astonishment and questions such as, "How come nobody is using this?" Despite being 48 years old and approaching 49, I have never resorted to Botox, peels, or fillings. Instead, I solely rely on the effectiveness of my creams. According to The Derm Review, tepezcohuite's bark possesses potent skin regenerative properties that promote the healing and growth of healthy skin. It is believed that the high nutrient content in the bark is responsible for tepezcohuite's exceptional skincare benefits, which is why more and more companies are starting to incorporate it into their products.
