Salma Hayek is one of the most successful and gorgeous actresses on the planet, but Hayek led a rather humble life in her native Mexico before she became famous. Having worked on her craft since the age of 18, Hayek's passion for acting eventually propelled her into the stratosphere.

Although she's at the top, she still finds time to advocate for causes that she's passionate about. She's most known for her work in combatting domestic violence against women, as well as her advocacy for immigrants and charity work in helping disadvantaged children in Mexico. 

While Hayek's known to be one of the most beautiful actresses working in Hollywood, she's now in her 50s and looks rather different than in her younger years, but she's still every bit as gorgeous. These days the 57-year-old actress is still in incredible shape.

Hayek's bold characters in film transcended the way she presented herself to the paparazzi many times during her career. Not only is Hayek an accomplished actress, but she is a fashion icon and a trendsetter herself. 

Dressed by some of the biggest luxury brands and clothing lines in the world, Hayek's stunning beauty and physique have made her a show-stopping force at red-carpet events and premieres. 

That is why it has been incredibly important for her to maintain her beauty and youthfulness at this point in her life. The "Magic Mike" actress revealed her ultimate skincare secret in a new video to British GQ, which made perfect sense as she still looks incredibly stunning and a lot younger than her actual age. 

Read on to learn more about the skincare routine that made her beautiful and as radiant as ever. 

Hayek is regarded by many media publications as one of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood. People Magazine even included her as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world in their 1996, 2003, and 2008 lists. 

Many would be shocked to know that the "Eternals" actress is already nearing 60 years old. This is because the star has managed to look younger and maintained a beautiful physique throughout the years. 

In 2020, Hayek posted a selfie of her hair flowing in the wind on Instagram. The simple yet gorgeous social media post generated over 400,000 likes and many comments. 

However, one fan's comment moved Hayek to respond. 

"Too much Botox :(. Not needed Salma!," the person commented. 

Hayek had an iconic response. 

"I don't have Botox But thank you for the advice because I was thinking maybe it's time," the actress replied. 

Other Instagram users praised the actress for her natural beauty." 

"Gorgeous. Wow you just don't age! Forever 21!," one person wrote.  

"u don't need it .. u r naturally beautiful I I am taking your response to him as a clap back and I'm lovin it, "another person commented. 

She also maintains a light makeup look when she isn't working. 

"During the day, I just put on a little foundation and rub a little lipstick on my cheeks. Of course I have to get all dolled up for work and for press," she told The New York Times.

Alongside maintaining her natural beauty, the star is also embracing aging. She admitted that she has grey hair and that they don't bother her.

Aside from straying away from cosmetic surgery, Hayek has been open to trying only a specific type of food. 

"My advice is not going to help anybody. I overeat the wrong things, then I go on a diet," she shared. 

However, the actress also told The New York Times in 2017 that she has tried to walk away from eating meat but, ultimately, that lifestyle wasn't for her. 

But despite this setback, Hayek has not strayed away from keeping her skin in the best possible state. The award-winning actress revealed her skincare routine in a new video to British GQ Magazine. 

Answering Twitter questions, Hayek was asked about her skincare routine, praising her for looking amazing in her 50s. 

"What? I'm 41!" she joked.

"My grandmother taught me to never wash my face in the morning. It's not disgusting, guys. What happens at night is your skin produces all the oils that your skin needs to look youthful. It regenerates. So, wash your skin really well at night but don't wash the hard work off your skin in the morning."

This was not the first time that Hayek offered the same advice on not washing your face in the morning.  

"In the morning, I don't wash my face with soap or cleanser. I dot on some rose water, then moisturizer, and I never use sunblock unless I'm going in the sun," she shared with Harper's Bazaar. 

According to OptiSkin founder and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Orit Markowitz, one shouldn't wash their face in the morning with a cleanser if it was already washed at night. 

"If you go right to bed after washing your face, it is not coming in contact with anything that really needs to be washed off," she told Byrdie.
