Salma Hayek in Bathing Suit Dips Into “Cold Water”

Actress Salma Hayek isn’t afraid to show off her body. The Eternals and Magic Mike’s Last Dance star recently shared a stunning new photo on Instagram. In it, she took a boat ride, and wore a light blue two-piece swimsuit. Hayek captioned the post, “Some people don’t like grey days, but I think everyday is precious. Adore your week, No matter what it brings.”

1. She’s Cautious Of The Environment

Hayek supports a lot of different causes. One thing that she is passionate about is protecting the environment. She shared this post on Instagram of herself playing with different animals, and talked about protecting the environment in the caption. “This #WorldEnvironmentDay makes me think extra about the future generations and all the wonderful creatures that depend on our choices and it makes me want to try harder.”

2. She’s Comfortable With Her Body

Hayek is all about body-positivity, and wearing what she wants. In an interview with Glamour, she recalled a conversation with her daughter about a revealing red-carpet look she wanted to wear. “‘But honey, you see the belly,” Hayek said. “‘You see that I have a belly. And I don’t want to be sucking it in.’ And then I said, ‘You know what? Screw that. I’m 56, everything else looks good.’”

3. She Speaks Out Against Sexism

In an interview with Vogue, Hayek talked about the sexism she’s faced in Hollywood. She makes sure to speak out against these standards. "Why should we let them give us an expiration date? I think there is a lot of sexism when it comes to age. They give us a lot of deadlines that they don't have, such as [the idea that] after a certain age, you lose your beauty or nobody will want to marry you. It's incredibly unfair. I wanted to make this character, who is strong, fierce, beautiful, sexy and ready for adventure because women my age, in their mid-fifties, can still be that."

4. She Swims

Hayek loves to swim to stay in shape. She shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Hayek shared these photos and one video of herself taking a swim in the ocean at sunset. She captioned the post, “Every time I need to feel renewed, I jump into the ocean.” Hayek also posted this photo of herself swimming by rock formations, captioning it, “Today is #nationalwaterday but let’s not forget any day how precious water is.”

5. She’s Present

In an interview with Marie Claire, Hayak revealed some of her secrets for building confidence. “It’s about being in the present and being alive. When you’re present you forget certain things; I’m not thinking about how old I am when I wake up. I don’t even look in the mirror. Though, sometimes when I do look in the mirror I go, ‘Oh Jesus’, or I’ll think ‘How come I’m always tired?’ and I’ll remember, ‘Ah, I’m older now’. When it dawns on me, I make the effort to connect with life again. I’m just amazed that at my age I’m still working and having the best moment of my career. At this point I’m just grateful.”

Salma Hayek has posted a few bathing suit photos since the new year began and this weekend was no different. The Eternals star—the movie hits Disney + this Wednesday, by the way—shared a photo of herself on Instagram, in which she’s clearly chilly, despite the sunny rays and clear blue water of whatever beach she’s in. “The pain and pleasure of cold water,” she captioned the photo. “El dolor y placer del agua fría. #pleasure #oceanlife” How does she stay so fit at age 55? Read on to see 7 ways Salma Hayek stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Does Juice Cleanses

"When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort," Hayek has said. "After doing a juice cleanse, I'm motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally. Cleansing is like my meditation. It makes me stop, focus and think about what I'm putting into my body. I'm making a commitment to my health and hitting the reset button."

2. She Does Restorative Yoga

"I work with a woman in London who taught me how to hold my body in a way where the muscles are activated all day long. So even when you brush your teeth, you're working the muscles," she said once. “It's restorative yoga. She taught me how to tone [my muscles] without clenching them. You relax them and focus on the parts that need to be used, but never with tension. If you're aware of your body, you'd be surprised by the effect it can have."

3. She Consumes Meat Sparingly

“The only thing I do is that I don’t eat animals every day. I eat all kinds of meat, but I consume it sparsely. I would never eat two meats in a day. Sometimes I go several days without eating meat, but then I’ll go back. I tried one time to go raw; my body hated me. Sometimes I work really hard and want instant satisfaction in my life. I’m a craver — let’s face it,” she told the New York Times.

4. This is Her Nighttime Routine

“At night I take off my makeup with coconut oil. Then I use rose water to take off the residuals. You can use a hot towel with the rose water — you put a wet towel in the microwave — to do a little steam. I’ll use the chamomile cleanser from Nuance. Then I splash with cold water. I have an edible mask with Juice Generation that has hibiscus in it that I might use. Or you can use a little bit of oatmeal and then some water or almond milk, and a little bit of honey. You let it soak, and it’s a great cleanser that makes your skin very soft,” she told the Times.

5. She Tires to Work Out Daily

"You won't get results by training only two times a week,” Sara Shears, who has worked with Salma in the past, explained to Women’s Health. “You should be doing something every day, in shorter durations but higher intensity.”

6. She Has Done HIIT Workouts

High intensity interval training has many benefits. “Aerobic exercise is the type of activity that gets your heart beating faster, and you breathe harder than normal. Adults should get at least 150 to 300 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “The alternative is 75 to 150 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity activity. This is where the popular high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can play a role.“

7. She Walks Her Dog

“When people talk about their dogs, some find it hard to hold back a smile. That's because their pooch makes them happy. But dogs are more than just mood boosters, according to a study by Dr. Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, a Mayo Clinic cardiologist. They are also heart-healthy. Yep, research shows it's true. Pets are good for your heart health,” says the Mayo Clinic. "What we found was that those who own a pet, particularly a dog, were healthier from the cardiovascular standpoint," says Dr. Lopez-Jimenez.

We're not just here to make babies, we're not just here to baby the man. We're not just here to service everything and everyone around us and then when the kids go away ... it's almost like expiration date for the eggs means an expiration date for you as a woman. It's a misunderstanding that has been going around for centuries.

And I attribute all of this to meditation," she told InStyle. She uses breathing techniques she learned to treat lower back pain. "It makes you experience your body with a lightness that's really delicious and satisfying. With the breathing and the going inside, you explore your body in a different way, and you learn not to go crazy with the expectations."
