The Mexican Ingredient Salma Hayek Swears by for Flawless Skin

The Mexican Ingredient Salma Hayek Swears by for Flawless Skin

Natural Green Brand Tepezcohuite Cream[1] ($30)

The skin benefits of tepezcohuite are so immense that it really does seem like some kind of tree of life. It is naturally high in tannins, which protect the skin against infection and provide a smoothing, tightening astringent effect. Supposedly, when used on skin, it inherently diminishes capillary permeability—which means your capillaries are less susceptible to the entrĂ©e of the toxins that cause the effects of aging. It is a powerful cellular regenerator and stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging under-eye bags. It contains flavonoids, which fight free radicals for another antiaging boost. It boasts tremendous antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties—so the same qualities that make it reparative as a burn-healer make it a powerful acne-fighter. It is said to reduce swelling, redness, and inflammation on existing cystic acne and prevent future breakouts. And that's barely mentioning its ability to soothe itchy skin, sores, ulcers, eczema, scrapes, scratches, and general topical abrasions. 

All in all, it stimulates the regeneration of fresh, new, healthy, youthful-looking skin, hence its ability to repair burns and heal scars. As Hayek stated, it is indeed still relatively unknown in the United States. While there have been no clinical trials conducted or FDA mention of it, it is sold in various forms on Amazon (the most popular of which is the cream pictured and shoppable above). Additionally Hayek included it in some of her Nuance skincare products[2] sold at CVS. We don't know about you, but we're about to try out tepezcohuite with high hopes.
