The secret ingredient
“Now, if you want it to make you more beautiful, then here is another tip,” says Salma.
Salma’s ‘secret’ ingredient is the sea buckthorn, a berry-like shrub that is said to help treat skin conditions, swelling, inflammation, and more. The medicinal plant is also used in cosmetics and anti-aging products according to WebMD.
According to the actress, the plant is rich in omega seven, which she claims helps improve the skin, hair, and nails.

Moreover, the juice helps your body produce more collagen, she says.
“So you just add a bit of beauty into your morning,” says Salma while pouring herself a glass of the juice.
However, be warned, the juice does not taste all that great.
“It’s not bad, but it’s a little bit too sour. So again, a little bit goes a long way,” she says.
