Salma shared some of her favorite skincare products with Good Housekeeping. “Forest Essentials is an Ayurvedic brand from India, and they have this amazing Soundarya Beauty Oil,” Salma says. “You put it on, and it feels like an oil, but then there’s no oil anymore! You are just dry and soft, there’s zero grease. And it just smells like it’s good for you.”

She Switches Up Her Skincare

While Salma has her staple beauty products, her routine is all about variety. She tells Good Housekeeping that she switches up her skin and hair care depending on what they are like. “I do not wash my face in the morning,” Salma says. “I do put moisturizer on, but it depends on how my skin is feeling, what moisturizer I put. I don’t have one routine. Same for the hair. I have different products and I just listen to my skin, listen to my hair.”

Salma is never puffy when she’s on the red carpet. Her secret? A special drink. “There’s this anti-inflammatory drink that I make with almond milk, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and a little bit of black pepper to increase the turmeric power,” she shares with Good Housekeeping. “I put in a little bit of Manuka honey at the end, and it’s so soothing and delicious, and it feels good. I love coffee and I drink a lot of coffee, but I am noticing that I’m mixing it up more and more with that drink and I love it.”

Salma likes to have the Ultratherapy Prime Treatment done on her face. And according to her, she’s seen results. “I was having dinner with Victoria Beckham in London, and she said, ‘You did something,'” Salma recalls to Good Housekeeping. “She goes, I can tell! There’s a big difference.”

Salma likes to use multiple moisturizers on her face. She shared her routine and go-to products with WhoWhatWear. “One of the light ones I like is Sisley’s Black Rose [Cream]. It’s kind of a jelly, and I really feel like it absorbs. And Charlotte Tilbury just came out with the Water Cream. Then you can put on the La Mer, the Augustinus Bader, so that it kind of seals it. When I put on the first layer, I wait like 20 minutes to put on the second one.”
