Salma Hayek’s #1 Skincare Secret

Firstly, allow us to blow your mind by reminding you that this goddess is 55 years old.

For true beauty aficionados, it doesn’t get much better than when celebs with gorgeous skin let us in on their secrets — especially when we get specifics on their routine.

Salma Hayek recently spoke to the New York Times all about the nitty gritty details of her beauty regimen only to reveal that she doesn’t wash her face in the morning, but does this instead...

Here is what she had to say:  

"I never cleanse my skin in the morning. My grandmother taught me that at night your skin replenishes all the things you lost during the day. Also, if I cleanse very well at night, why would it be dirty when I wake up? It's for companies to have you use more products. I spritz rose water — it's so gentle and wakes the skin up."

If you want fresh, rosy skin like Salma Hayek, here are 5 reasons why Rose Water is the best 100% natural product you can use: 

1. Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

Rose water fights factors of ageing, neutralising free radicals. It will also help clear away dead cells and impurities from your pores, making your skin glow!
Your pores will also be tightened, making them appear smaller. 

2. Soothes inflamations
