Salma Hayek turns to teenage daughter Valentina for best skincare and beauty tips: ‘She’s the expert’
Salma Hayek doesn’t need a fancy dermatologist when she has her daughter.
The “Frida” actress, 58, revealed she actually turns to her 17-year-old daughter Valentina for top-tier skincare advice and product recommendations.
“That one knows everything,” Hayek told People of her teen, whom she shares with husband François-Henri Pinault.
“She knows products that you cannot even imagine that it exists. I’m like, ‘What is that?’ And she’s like, ‘Oh, it’s a this for the…whatever,'” Hayek continued, adding, “She’s the expert.”
More than anything, the proud mom shared that Valentina turns to Korean Beauty products for both herself and her mother.
“Sometimes she says, ‘I’m going to go to Koreatown to get some beauty products.’ And I’m like, ‘Get me some,'” Hayek recalled. “But then I say, ‘Get me some again,’ and she brings something different.”
Valentina is so “well-read” on the industry, she always knows the latest and greatest products to swipe up.
“She goes, ‘No, this is the latest now. Try this.’ I don’t even know the names of the brands. But she’s obsessed,” the star concluded.
Korean creams and masks aren’t the only forms of skincare Hayek swears by; she recently revealed that she targeted her “turkey neck” with a non-invasive Ultherapy Prime treatment by Merz Aesthetics.
“I will tell you, I had been very conservative, doing the same thing and very little for a very long time, which was just working with energy and frequency [devices],” she told People in her announcement as an ambassador for the brand.
Hayek added, “Then one day, it kind of plateaued. So I started researching, and it was terrifying, because for a moment, I thought, ‘oh my God, this is the only choice — the knife,’ which I’m terrified of pain. I am a chicken. My threshold, it’s low.”
“I just want my husband [François-Henri Pinault] to still go, ‘Wow’ when he looks at me,” she added. “I still want to feel good about the way I look, but not necessarily because I want to look 20. I’m okay. I’m more excited about being 50 and 60 and looking good at 50 and 60. It’s a different kind of beauty.”
