In case you missed it, Magic Mike is back. While Channing Tatum has danced into our line of sight with his chiseled jawline and abs of steel, it’s the frisky frolicking he does with his stunning co-star — 56-year-old Salma Hayek — that’s got our attention. Have you seen her lately? Her complexion rivals that of women half her age, and she credits the main ingredient in this night cream. (There’s one for daytime as well!) Want to take a decade or two off your face? Grab a jar now at Amazon for just $13.
Hayek has been steaming up the silver screen for nearly 30 years, though you’d never know it by watching Magic Mike’s Last Dance. But there’s no magic behind her flawless complexion, just the bark of a tree.
“I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin,” Hayek told Elle magazine. “Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like, ‘Oh, my God! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings.”
The Tepezcohuite tree is often called the “Mexican skin tree” because its bark is known to help regenerate skin and hair. As a testament to that, it was used to treat hundreds of thousands of burn victims in an earthquake and a gas explosion in Mexico in the 1980s when no medical supplies were available.
Not many American companies have caught on, but Amazon shoppers have been loving the Del Indio Papago Night Cream for a number of reasons.
“The best moisturizer I’ve ever used in my life,” declared an excited shopper. “With all of the high-end products out there that cost hundreds of dollars, none of them have helped my skin as much as this! I live in the desert, and it not only provides moisture but clears up eczema and helps discoloration too. Amazing!”
“I spent quite a few hours in the sun and missed a strip of my skin by my hairline,” shared a rave reviewer. “I had such a terrible sunburn that I was in bad pain and had blistering. Tried aloe the first two days without relief. On impulse, I smeared some of this cream on that area before going to bed one night. Completely took away the pain and helped it heal quickly.”
“I just wanted to brighten up my complexion a little,” related a very enthusiastic user. “The next day after I used this, I was glowing. Perfect. Dewy! Holy moly! I use it morning and night now, and my skin is amazing. No winter dullness. No middle-aged sallow. Even the smell doesn’t bother me much anymore — it’s well worth the payoff for skin that looks this good.”
If you want to reap even more benefits from this wonder ingredient, Del Indio Papago also makes a Tepezcohuite daytime cream with SPF 15 to add to your morning skin-care routine.
“I am always leery of trying new skin-care products, but after reading the reviews and seeing the reasonable price, I ordered it,” wrote one 58-year-old reviewer. “I am very happy with the results from using this cream. My skin definitely looks smoother and feels nice and moisturized and soft. It has the slightest scent of rose, but is not overpowering.”
“This is a really good skin conditioner,” wrote another happy shopper. “At 75, I need plenty of moisture, but it seems to reduce and/or remove imperfections, like bumps, tags, growths, etc. Took it with me on a 40-day vacation and came home with lovely color (it has SPF) and a moist, supple complexion. It’s my everyday cream.”
