To create her perfect canvas, Salma Hayek devotes some time to her anti-aging regimen. She credits much of her knowledge to her cosmetology-trained grandmother, who taught her a thing or two about skincare. Surprisingly, some of her recommendations go against our usual daily habits. For example, Hayek told The New York Times, "I never cleanse my skin in the morning. 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?" Instead, she opts for a bit of rose water and hydrating oil, cream, or serum — one of her favorites being coconut oil.

However, it isn't always everyday kitchen ingredients for the Hollywood star. Once, she let Elle in on a little-known skincare ingredient most hadn't heard of: "I use an ingredient called tepezcohuite that's used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin, and there's no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us." The perennial tree, used in traditional medicine for decades, is said to help with aging, psoriasis, and acne. Though none of those claims have been proven, Hayek said she has relied on this secret smoothing cream in lieu of Botox, fillers, or peels. Judging by her fantastic makeup-less photos, she might be all the proof we need.
