As the 57-year-old beauty icons, Salma Hayek is what I like to call “Derivative Bronze” – a combination of colors that together create a golden tone. She always looks like she’s been kissed by the sun, and with her latest Instagram post, I think I may have figured out a not-so-secret way to achieve that look — well, that and the major sun-safe methods Hayek also employs.

In a surprising turn, the timeless beauty queen divulged an unanticipated hack—using mascara on your hair! That’s right; the icon shared her trick for quickly at-home fixing unruly greys. It was as if she were saying, “I know your Beautiful Disaster identity; now let me help you.”

Yet, Salma Hayek’s elusive secret to youthful looks seems to be more than just a basic life hack. The actress has household beauty secrets. She dishes those to her pal Kelly Ripa during a recent podcast taping. Swearing she hasn’t gone under the needle, Hayek relishes the idea that her “unique” form of mediation (that she calls a Beauty Mediation) is what keeps her looking so eternally fresh. “It’s like my spirit dances inside me,” she beams, “and when I go out, everyone tells me I look 20 again!”

Hollywood has not been a smooth ride for Salma. In an interview with Glamour, she frankly stated that she had been told her career would fizzle by the time she turned 30. At 57, however, she is still going strong. “They tried to get rid of me, but I’m still here!” she said in a recent teaser for her upcoming memoir.

What truly lies behind Salma’s timeless charm? Is it the long, sun-kissed days of summer, a simple do-it-yourself beauty regimen, or an interior radiance that captivates? Whatever the case might be, we’re all deserting for her beauty secrets!
