Salma Hayek staunchly opposes the notion that beauty and plastic surgery are inseparable companions. The acclaimed Mexican actress advocates for embracing natural beauty rather than opting for drastic measures like cosmetic surgery.
While understanding the desire of many women to halt the aging process, Hayek emphasizes that beauty is an evolving journey that can be achieved and enhanced through personal efforts, rather than relying on surgical interventions. In the September issue of Allure, the 44-year-old actress affirms every woman's right to preserve her youth but cautions against plastic surgeries, considering them more of a generational trend than a genuine path to beauty.
In Hayek's view, plastic surgeries create a uniform look for an entire generation, emphasizing a wrinkle-free appearance rather than genuine beauty. Despite showing signs of age herself, the Oscar-nominated actress is unapologetic, acknowledging that her body has changed over the years. With a smile, she humorously notes that her best feature from a decade ago was her "boobies," and she has no complaints about them.
Radiating youthfulness, Hayek attributes her appearance to a lifelong dedication to skincare, a practice she inherited from her grandmother, who had expertise in the beauty industry. In a recent development, Hayek introduced her beauty line, Nuance, inspired by her grandmother's influence. The line, available at CVS pharmacies, aims to celebrate and enhance natural beauty, echoing the belief that beauty resides within and can be nurtured organically.
Reflecting on her grandmother's beauty rituals, including unconventional practices like shaving her head and applying egg, Hayek credits her grandmother for her amazing hair. The philosophy behind Nuance underscores the idea that deep within oneself lies inherent beauty, and learning to naturally enhance it is a powerful journey for women.
According to Hayek, women experience a unique advantage as they age – they become s---er. She believes that reaching 40 should bring about a sense of relaxation and confidence about one's s----lity. For her, true s--iness transcends mere physical appearance, emphasizing the importance of confidence and the ability to walk in high heels as essential elements of a woman's allure.
