Salma Hayek reveals 'secret' ingredient she credits for ageless appearance

Salma Hayek has revealed the under-the-radar skin product that she uses to keep up with her ageless beauty.

Back in 2015, the 56-year-old once credited the ingredient, Tepezcohuite, which is commonly used in Mexico for its regenerative factors among burn victims.

Hyping up the wonder product, Salma shared that she was shocked that no one else in Hollywood was using it,

"I use an ingredient called tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin, and there’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us," she told Elle magazine at the time.

"Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like ‘Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, and no fillings. I’m 48. I will be 49 this year and I only use my creams."

The Tepezcohuite tree is well known as the Mexican skin tree thanks to the regenerative properties in its bark that can help promote healthy growth in skin and hair.

Audiences were once again reminded of Salma's stunning looks and ageless appearance in her recent film Magic Mike's Last Dance, alongside Channing Tatum.

The unlikely pair teamed up in the third and final film in the series which saw Channing's character Mike team up with a wealthy socialite played by Salma to bring dance to a stage show in London.

The duo shared a few steamy scenes in the film and were praised for their undeniable chemistry on screen, however, Salma has since revealed that she "almost killed" Channing during what was meant to be a sexy dance scene.

Speaking to an audience on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, she said: "You know, this one part that’s not in it is where I’m upside down, and my legs had to be somewhere.

“But upside down, one loses a sense of direction, and I didn’t do what I was supposed to do. So in the rehearsal, I went like, head down, almost hit my head.”

She then said that she became "really concerned" because while Channing "held onto" her trousers, they began to fall and she was unsure whether or not she was wearing underwear.

"I couldn’t remember if I had underwear or not in this moment," Salma laughed. "He’s like, ‘Put your hands up,’ and I’m like, ‘No, no, no, no.’

"Everybody came in, and kind of took me away from him, and he said, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ I said, ‘What’s wrong with me? You nearly killed me!’"
