It’s time for another episode of “Salma Hayek Has Amazing Skin & Wants To Tell You All About It.” I don’t understand why I seem to be doing endless coverage celebrity ladies giving infomercial interviews as they hawk their products. But here we are. Salma has a beauty line, Nuance Salma Hayek, and it feels like she’s been promoting it for years. Last month, she talked about how she doesn’t do Botox, she doesn’t do peels or fillers and she looks amazing and you can too if only you would just use Nuance Salma Hayek. Salma has a new interview with People and it’s a lot of the same.
Her beauty routine: “I don’t really take big risks when it comes to beauty. I think a big risk is plastic surgery. I’m very conservative in my beauty routine.”
Would she ever get plastic surgery? “I don’t know if I would never get plastic surgery. I’m not planning on it right now.”
Her thoughts on Botox: “I don’t believe in Botox, especially when [people] do it so young. They destroy themselves. They keep telling young girls, ‘Do it young, so you never get wrinkles.’ No, your face is going to fall. You’ll have to keep getting more and more and more each time. So if you’re going to do it, I recommend doing it as late as you can.”
Her mom’s advice: “I had a great mother who gave [beauty advice] to me, which is wash your face before you go to sleep — no matter what. She and my grandmother told me, ‘You have to do this for yourself. Just think about how much faster you’re going to age if you don’t.’”
Okay, that wasn’t as annoying as I expected. I actually agree with her about Botox: it’s insane to think that 20-something and 30-something women are doing Botox. STAHP. I’m not sure about the science of “your face is going to fall” though. Is that true? If you do Botox and fillers for months or years and then stop, does your face just collapse in an unnatural way? I’ve always thought that when the crap wears off, you would just look the same as before, not worse.
Oh, Salma also says that she prefers air-drying over blow-drying. I could not agree more! I’ve been air-drying my hair for years and years. I don’t even own a blow-dryer. I’m lucky with my Indian hair in some ways, in that I don’t need special products or anything and my hair looks fine. The bad part about my hair: I can’t really do anything to it. Even if I tried to style it with products, my hair doesn’t “take” anything. So, yes… air-dry if you can. Air-drying makes me happy (I’m air-drying as we speak!).
