Salma Hayek?s Cannes Beauty Secrets Revealed!

Salma Hayek rocked her banging hot body on the red carpet at Cannes this past week and was happy to tell OK! her secret! The 44-year old actress, and mother to 4-year-old Valentina with French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, cleanses before each red carpet appearance. Salma shared her weekly diet diary of juice and raw fruits from the Cooler Cleanse she helped create with OK!.

?I do it when I want to look my best. I did it for my wedding,? says Salma who was in Cannes to celebrate her animated film, Puss in Boots. ?When I?m stressed, I turn to food. After a cleanse, I eat healthy. It?s like meditation. I stop and think about what I put in my body.?

Salma has only Cooler Cleanse juices (seven times a day) and water and green tea. On the fourth day she does The Raw Cooler: three juices, a raw entr?e, a snack and dessert. Then it?s back to juice for two days.

?I don?t like to diet and I?m not good at it,? Salma tells OK!. ?The first day it?s hard, but then it becomes easier and you feel energized.?

While Salma?s body has always been one of the most envied in Hollywood, she?s the first to admit, it?s not always easy.

?I don?t like to exercise, so I have to force myself to do it, because I know it?s good for my health,? she says. ?Usually if I?m home it?s easier to establish an exercise routine, but when I?m out of town shooting a movie it becomes more complicated.?When I?m in Los Angeles I try to do pilates every week. I?m working with a wonderful instructor in France who teaches a unique combination of yoga and pilates.?

So what made her decide to give up all of her cleanse secrets and create the Cooler Cleanse?

?I have many years of experience with cleansing, so I felt I had some knowledge to share,? says Salma, who also loves the additional benefits of a cleanse. ?My skin glows when I finish the 3-day cleanse. I always lose weight, although that?s not the main purpose of doing a Cooler Cleanse. A cleanse is an important part of my health and beauty maintenance program. Our modern lifestyle brings a lot of stress and toxics into our body, and it?s important to help it eliminate them.?
