Salma Hayek always looks flawless on the red carpet. While many may look at the 56-year-old and envy her youthful, immaculate appearance, Hayek wants to show fans she's not always in glam mode.

In a candid Instagram post, the actress shared a close-up photo of herself bare-faced. She captioned it, "Me waking up and counting how many white hairs and wrinkles have crashed the party this morning," along with a translation in Spanish, her native language.

Celebrities in the comments made sure to note that despite Hayek showing off her imperfections, she still looks amazing either way.

"🔥❤️🔥," Olivia Wilde commented, while Paraguayan radio host Patty Orue wrote, "Más bella cada mañana," which translates to "More beautiful every morning." Cindy Crawford echoed the sentiment, remarking, "Beautiful!" Telenovela star Isidora Vives agreed, noting that Hayek looks "guapisisima" (stunning).

Hayek's fans also appreciated Hayek challenging beauty standards with her selfie. "You're a real natural human being and that's beautiful. Thank you," wrote a fan. Another said, "Thank you for sharing! It helps all of to see that even the most beautiful and famous also age."

One fan had a poetic way of seeing Hayek's signs of aging, writing, "You’re still gorgeous, brilliant, successful, talented and amazing. Embrace your silver hair! It’s like the moonlight sparkling over a Black Sea."

The post comes a day after Hayek shared a different bare-faced photo celebrating World Environment Day, showing the actress petting a duck outside, as well as another picture of herself getting up close with an alpaca.
