Salma Hayek Pinault Opens Up About Her Approach to "Aging Gracefully"

"Forest Essentials is an Ayurvedic brand from India, and they have this amazing Soundarya Beauty Oil," Salma says.

"You put it on, and it feels like an oil, but then there's no oil anymore! You are just dry and soft, there's zero grease. And it just smells like it's good for you."

"I really like this brand. It's my new discovery," Salma adds about Forest Essentials. "They have a nice night cream."

"I do not wash my face in the morning," Salma tells us. "I do put moisturizer on, but it depends on how my skin is feeling, what moisturizer I put. I don't have one routine. Same for the hair. I have different products and I just listen to my skin, listen to my hair."

The actress mentioned Augustinus Bader as one of the brands she uses regularly. Makeup artist Bobbi Brown also swears by The Rich Cream, a popular product among celebrities.

While she's a self-proclaimed "low maintenance" person, Salma swears by Patchology's eye gels. "These patches are fantastic and they're not expensive," she says.

The Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab agrees, selecting the Patchology Eye Gels as the best value eye patches, according to testing. "Clocking in at about $1.50 per use, these under eye gel masks are a budget-friendly choice that deliver serious results," writes Jessica Teich, director of editorial commerce and product reviews.

Salma is all about wellness, and that includes what she eats and drinks. "There's this anti-inflammatory drink that I make with almond milk, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and a little bit of black pepper to increase the turmeric power," she shares.

"I put in a little bit of Manuka honey at the end, and it's so soothing and delicious, and it feels good. I love coffee and I drink a lot of coffee, but I am noticing that I'm mixing it up more and more with that drink and I love it."

When she's traveling, especially on planes, Salma's number one essential is Vicks VapoRub. "I put it in my nose and it just feels like I'm breathing better on the plane. Also my nose doesn't get as dry inside. I put it on the soles of my feet — and if you are coughing, it's a Mexican thing, but it helps you cough less."

"The beauty of Vicks VapoRub is that it works topically. When rubbed on the chest, neck or back, the traditional camphor, menthol and eucalyptus ointment can temporarily relieve discomfort and help you breathe easier," Deputy Health Editor Kaitlyn Phoenix previously wrote in our story on doctor-approved natural remedies for a sore throat.

Another trick Salma swears by? "Magnesium on the soles of your feet is really good when you're on the plane," she says. "I sleep better."

Additionally, she travels with a magnesium and calcium supplement drink mix, like this one from Natural Vitality that has a 4.6/5-star average from over 8,900 ratings on Amazon.

"I meditate a lot. I invent my own meditation, I improvise it every day. A lot of times I use music and creativity. And I dance a lot. I don't go to classes. I don't believe in the structure. But I dance at provocation, and I have music on a lot. So the provocation could be 10 times a day, shamelessly. And my daughters are the same," Salma reveals.

"I bring my speaker everywhere I go," she adds. While she didn't specify a brand, the Bose SoundLink Flex is the Good Housekeeping Institute's best overall bluetooth speaker pick, according to testing and reviews.

Another surprising travel hack of Salma's? "I bring my Palo Santo everywhere I go," she reveals. "God knows what kind of energy you're going to find in the next hotel. I have a bag full of tricks."
