Unlike most celebs out there, Salma says she hasn't had botox or plastic surgery. "I have never gotten something done just because it was a trend or the 'biggest wonder.' I tend to stay away from aggressive things. I've never even had a peel or microdermabrasion," she told New Beauty magazine. Wow, so how does she keep her skin so smooth?
She listens to her body and she uses natural ingredients like the ones found in her Nuance Salma Hayek products. "Our skin is moody, our hair is moody, we are moody," she said. "Don't be frustrated by it. Listen to it, look after it, but when it's not behaving how you want, be prepared for it to happen and don't do anything too drastic. So many people make beauty decisions in a panic." She credits her abuelita for her beauty ways and philosophies. "I have my grandmother to thank. She is my inspiration and she taught me many things. She was both an alchemist and a magician and someone with a great imagination–and that's where I get a lot of my beauty secrets from," she added.

She ALWAYS washes her face
"Since I was quite young I started taking care of my skin. It was my grandma saying no matter how tired you are, no matter how tired you are, you never go to sleep without cleaning your skin," she told New Beauty. "Trust me they were many, many nights in my early 20s after going out dancing and being super tired and I just wanted to go to sleep and I would hear her voice and crawl myself into the sink and deeply clean it up, clean it all up."
But NOT in the morning
According to Salma if you wash your face thoroughly at night, you don't have to do it the morning after. "You don't have to wash it, but you have to clean it really, really well at night," she said on an appearance on ITV'1 Lorraine.
She doesn't fall into the cosmetic procedure hype
"I have always been very conservative into what I have done with my skin. I never went into all those trends of the peels or the microdermabrasions. And I think because of that, because of the products that I use, because I clean my skin, I look after it. I don't abandon it and then want to fix it with some really drastic, really fast," she told New Beauty.
She doesn't use too many products at night
"I don't like to put too much on my skin at night because that is when it's regenerating. If you overwhelm it with products, it won't function properly," she told Latina.com. "You should really only use one great night cream, such as the Nuance Salma Hayek Age Affirm Firming Day & Night Cream ($17) to keep your skin hydrated while you sleep."
She always wears lipstick
Salma shared with DailyMakeover.com her secret to always looking natural and fresh. She always makes sure to swap on a makeup that compliments her face and looks completely natural on her. Her favorite: Nuance Salma Hayek Color Vibrance Lipstick in My Favorite ($8) of course. Her husband loves it!
