Salma Hayek is a Mexican American actress and producer, probably best known for her role as “Frida.” 

Salma, who got her start in the telenova “Teresa,” was nominated for an Ariel Award for her role in the film “El Callejón de los Milagros,” also known as “Miracle Alley.” 

The Mexican beauty is known for telling it like it is, and has amassed over 17.8 followers on Instagram. 

Now 54, the “From Dusk til Dawn” star shares exactly why she embraces getting older. 

Although Salma admits that she might fix the numbers a bit when it comes to her weight, she doesn’t mind being upfront and honest about her age.

“I don’t lie about my age,” she said. “I like being 54. It’s an accomplishment.”

Salma, who turned 54 on September 2, 2020, celebrated her birthday on Instagram by sharing a photo of herself in a yellow dress with the caption, “I am very grateful and proud for every single one of my 54 years.” 

She added, “Thank you for all the birthday wishes, especially to my fans who made a special account for my birthday. What a gift! @salmahappybirthday“

Salma shared two secrets to leading a stress-free life: yoga and meditation.

“I meditate,” she revealed in a six-minute marathon interview with Savannah Guthrie. “I can meditate for one minute or I can meditate straight through one and a half hours.”

She also hinted at a daily 5-minute workout routine that works the whole body. 

“It’s restorative yoga,” she explained, describing how it works to “tone [my muscles] without clenching them. You relax them and focus on the parts that need to be used, but never with tension. If you’re aware of your body, you’d be surprised by the effect it can have.”

While some fans are clamoring to know what diet she follows, Salma’s answer is simple: she doesn’t have one.

“I don’t like to diet,” she revealed, adding, “I’m not good at it.

The same goes for her workout routine.

“I don’t like to exercise,” she confessed, although when she has to shape up for a role, her trainer Sara Shears shared that she “tends to favor cardio and high-intensity interval training along with strength training to add definition.” 

That being said, “some people have the discipline to exercise in the morning,” she admitted. “I didn’t develop that.”

Although she admits to changing up her routine depending on how her skin feels that day, Salma started learning the importance of taking care of her skin from a young age. 

She revealed that her grandmother was fundamental in helping her keep her skin looking healthy and clear throughout her life. 

She revealed that her “beauty routine, and how I see beauty, is from what I’ve learned from my grandmother.”
