White Lotus Star Haley Lu Richardson Shares Swimsuit Photo Feeling "Stinky"

Haley Lu Richardson has starred in some of the biggest films and TV series in the past few years. Her film roles include, The Edge of Seventeen, Split, Five Feet Apart, and Unpregnant. Her best known TV role is as Portia in the second season of the anthology series, The White Lotus. Richardson shared a new set of photos on Instagram this week. In them, she lounged in a jacuzzi in a floral swimsuit. She captioned the post, “Stinky.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Haley Lu Richardson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Richardson has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her favorite products and tips with Byrdie. “I love Eminence Organics and use a face wash and exfoliator from the brand. I also use Derma-E's hyaluronic acid serum ($30). I love Starface pimple patches ($15), and then there's this brand called Squish that makes these gorgeous little floral patches with rhinestones at the center ($14). Fun pimple stickers are the best invention since sliced bread. I wish they existed when I was a teen because they make having acne fun.”

2. She’s True To Herself

Richardson opened up about her time in the acting industry to The Daily Beast. She says that she always wants to be true to herself. “I feel like there are few things sadder than someone not feeling like they can express themselves. I try to just do things for me as opposed to for some sort of reaction, or for someone to look at me and like me or be like, ‘Oh she does this so we give her approval.’”

3. She Builds Confidence

Richardson tells The Daily Beast that having confidence in herself is important to her. “At the end of the day, I just want to go home and feel completely confident in myself and what I’m doing and what my worth is. And the second you start putting importance in how other people view you, and what other people do to get their way, or how they speak to you or about you—that’s for me when I start getting lost.”

4. She Uses Natural Makeup

Richardson tells Byrdie that she lives a natural life, and that includes makeup. “I try to use natural formulas,” she says. “I love the Ilia skin tint, which is so many people's favorite these days, and it feels like I'm applying skincare when I put it on. I also love the brand 100% PURE, and all of its products are made from natural ingredients like fruit extracts and coffee beans. The brand's mascara is tinted with black tea, berries, and cocoa, and it's amazing. I like trying new things, but once something works, I like sticking with it because it takes time to come by something that works for your skin and preferences.”

5. She Makes Time For Herself

No matter how busy she gets, Richardson likes to make time for herself. “I'm learning all the beautiful things about being on your own and not owing anything to anyone else,” she tells Byrdie. “There's beauty in having a partner, but in my house, I can do whatever I want, and whatever fills me up and makes me happy, and I'm not responsible for anything but me and Darbin.”

Salma Hayek needs nothing else for a perfect summer besides beer and a swimsuit. The 56-year-old actress is having a blast on a scuba diving trip with her friend and instructor Martina Engel, and sharing highlights from the adventure. Hayek posted pictures of the pair happily posing in bikinis and wetsuits, well-earned drinks in hand and snacking on oranges. “Hanging out with my favorite dive master,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Hayek stays ageless and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Knows You Love Her Bikinis

Hayek celebrated hitting 25 million followers on Instagram by posting a very tongue-in-cheek video of herself working out in a swimming pool. “I can’t believe it, 25 million followers! Thank you soo soo much to every single one of you. 🙏 Seeing as you all like my bikini pictures the most 👙, here’s a bikini work out for you all. I hate exercising- but I love to celebrate good moments dancing in the water. I am genuinely moved and grateful for all your love & support 🥰.”

2. She Is Brave

Remember the infamous scene-stealing snake dance Hayek did in From Dusk Till Dawn? It turns out she wasn’t exactly prepared for that. “They just kind of threw me on the stage with the snake, put the music on and said, ‘Hey, dance!’” she says, adding that there was no choreography—she was left to her own devices. “I was feeling insecure [and] just wanted to get through it. It was a really small part but to my surprise people really remember that moment.”

3. No Hair Dye, Please

Hayek’s gorgeous dark locks? All natural, all her. The actress no longer has the patience to sit through endless root touch-ups. “It’s my natural color, and it’s my natural white hairs,” she says. “One of the reasons I don’t dye my hair is because I don’t have the patience to sit through it. I don’t want to spend what’s left of my youth pretending I’m younger and then not enjoying life.”

4. She’s Very Funny

Hayek fought typecasting to be allowed to do comedy (no one could forget her star turn in 30 Rock). “I was typecast for a long time,” she says. “My entire life I wanted to do comedy and people wouldn’t give me comedies. I couldn’t land a role until I met Adam Sandler, who put me in a comedy [2010’s Grown Ups], but I was in my forties! They said, ‘You’re sexy, so you’re not allowed to have a sense of humor.’ Not only are you not allowed to be smart, but you were not allowed to be funny in the ’90s.”

5. No Botox or Fillers

Hayek’s secret to beautiful, ageless skin? Golden face masks and chicken soup. “I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin, and there’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us,” she says. “Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like ‘Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings.”
