While there are people who strive to appear younger than their age, Salma Hayek proudly shows off her wrinkles and gray hair because aging is the most natural thing to do. The actress shared a photo on her social networks, where she zooms in on her face to highlight some expression lines and aspects that have changed over the years.
“Me waking up and counting how many wrinkles and gray hairs snuck into the party this morning,” wrote the Mexican actress in the description. It’s not the first time Salma Hayek reminds us how nice it is to accept ourselves and embrace those details that many call ‘flaws,’ as they are things that make us human.
The actress shares on her social networks photos without makeup and a series of moments that show who she really is, far from fame. One of them is a video where she appears with her dress unbuttoned and eating some burritos after the Oscars. Obviously, she also uploads content about her life as an actress, as it is part of her daily life, but she has been trying, for a long time, to be transparent with her fans.
Salma Hayek’s Appearance Was Criticized for ‘Excessive Filters’
Salma Hayek, 56, shared the photo with a zoom on her face after her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival was criticized. Some people called her ‘fake’ for ‘excess filters,’ and others claimed she had some cosmetic ‘fixes’ on her face. “They already changed my Salma,” “That’s not Salma,” and “The good thing is that she’s very natural,” wrote some internet users.
The actress appeared at the event looking spectacular. She wore an outfit that had more than one million sequins, which required 270 hours of hand sewing and 2,769 hours of hand embroidery; however, people focused on the wrong thing… again.
Even if it had been for filters, ‘fixes’ or whatever, we still haven’t learned that the appearance of others is not to be judged, because everyone is free to do what they want. It is her body, her money, her decision. She would not have to give an explanation or justify herself.
