Some people seem to just have the gift of never aging a day, don't they?

While the rest of us wrestle with dubious face creams promising improbable results, drink copious amounts of water every day, and moisturize like we're preparing to break the land speed record on a slip and slide, others seem to just stroll through life apparently unblemished by the aging effects of Father Time.

Of course, aging is something that should be celebrated, meaning as it does that we're another year older and wiser, with a lifetime of experiences to look back on.

Seriously, Hayek looks the same as she did when she starred in From Dusk Till Dawn:

Salma Hayek is certainly someone whose name crops up often when we talk about celebrities who never seem to have aged a day. Her Instagram page is constantly flooded with fans expressing their amazement over her youthful looks, and a recent post from the actress in celebration of her 54th birthday was no exception.

"I am very grateful and proud for every single one of my 54 years. Thank you for all the birthday wishes, especially to my fans who made a special account for my birthday. What a gift!" the actress wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture of herself happily posing in a golden swimsuit. 

And her fans were delighted with the birthday post. "Are you ageing or anti-ageing !!! Beautiful" wrote one commenter, while another added, "Happy birthday. You definitely don't look 54 years young you look 28".

In a 2016 interview with Harper's Bazaar. Hayek discussed getting older, telling the publication:

"Well I am entering my fifties so your body confidence isn’t that good. I think it depends on the day, for everybody, there’s some days you say, ‘This is it,’ and you love it. Then there are days when you go, ‘This can not be it! Is this really it?’ So I think it’s up and down all the time!"

And the Like A Boss star previously revealed some of her best beauty tips in an interview with The New York Times, revealing in 2017:

"I never cleanse my skin in the morning. My grandmother taught me that at night your skin replenishes all the things you lost during the day. Also, if I cleanse very well at night, why would it be dirty when I wake up? It’s for companies to have you use more products.

"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."
