Salma Hayek believes that the secret to her flawless skin is to never wash it in the morning. The 54-year-old actress says that after a good night’s sleep, your skin has the perfect pH balance, and just rinsing it and applying some cream should be enough. When the beauty industry produces skincare products for absolutely every skin type and concern, it’s rather surprising that taking a step back and resetting your beauty routine might bring such amazing results.

We at Bright Side believe that when it comes to taking care of your skin, less is more. And we decided to find out the benefits of Salma Hayek’s low maintenance beauty routine.

1. Your skin may become less oily.

Although your skin looks instantly better after cleansing or exfoliation, this effect is temporary. In reality, when you wash your face too much, you remove dead skin cells that make up your protective skin barrier. Without this protective layer, your skin is more vulnerable and prone to premature wrinkles.

3. It protects your skin from environmental damage.
