Salma Hayek says she’s never had Botox, and credits her youthfulness to a personal meditation regimen she adopted, and frequency machines
Salma Hayek says she has never used Botox.
“No Botox,” the “Eternals” star said when asked by Kelly Ripa recently on an episode of her “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast.
Instead, the 56-year-old actor told Ripa she credits her youthfulness to a combination of meditation and frequency machines.
“Because of a lot of pain in my body and health issues, somehow I developed this strange meditation that I keep evolving,” Hayek said of a herniated disc and problems in her neck, hip, and ankles. “I can do it for hours because you don’t feel the time, and it’s so much fun because it’s not like you sit there and you think of nothing. It’s actually feeling the energy and it moves and it dance inside of you.”
When asked about her specific regimen and what it looks like when she’s meditating, Hayek said it varies.
“I listen to my body. And it’s weird things,” Hayek said. “What I do every day, most of the time, I start still. There is movement, but you have to learn to let your body move on its own.”
Ripa clarified that Hayek isn’t using any sort of meditation app.
“It’s my own invention,” Hayek said, telling Ripa she “can do five minutes and it can be very powerful.”
When Ripa asked for advice on meditating, Hayek encouraged her to be alone in a room and put on music that she normally doesn’t listen to so that she goes somewhere else mentally.
“Feel the vibration of the music, use your imagination to do weird things,” Hayek said, adding: “One thing that works for me a lot is I start imagining that I’m breathing through my ears.”
