Written By share on Saturday, March 31, 2012 | 9:14 AM

She’s a striking brunette bombshell who dated one of Hollywood’s hottest men for three years, but Salma Hayek admits that life wasn’t all hunky dory as far as her looks are concerned.

The Mexican beauty opened up to the new issue of Lucky about suffering ‘severe, severe depression’ from a skin condition and being overweight as a struggling actress.

The 45-year-old star insists it was a far different story when she was 25 and trying to break into movies.

She told the May issue of the women’s publication: ‘You want to talk about bad skin? I had acne.’

Appearing happy and healthy on the shopping title, she looks a natural stunner in a blue off-the-shoulder dress which accentuated her ample bust.

With her mane of thick locks blowing in the breeze her skin looks fresh and a picture of perfection however she states it was once in terrible condition.

Salma added: ‘And this acne was so bad it sent me into severe, severe depression. Like I couldn't leave the house. The next stage with that sort of depression is food - too little or too much. Guess what I did?’

The curvaceous screen star admits she piled on the pounds when her body reacted badly to the pressures of achieving success in the early Nineties.

‘I was fat and broken out. I couldn't leave the house and I couldn't pay the rent!’

She credits director Alfonso Cuaron for teaching her ‘to meditate, to relax’ and also says Accutane also known as Roaccutane ‘cured’ the acne. 

Hayek continued: ‘Since then my skin's forever sensitive and dry.’

As for more drastic beauty treatments, she insists she hasn’t tried to turn back the years yet.

She admitted: ‘Botox - trust me, I've been tempted, but I resist!’

Looking toned and tanned, Abbey flaunted her size 6 figure in a £178 Vix Betsey monochrome bikini.

Walking in the sea, the model doted on her daughter, who looked adorable in a flora, frilly bikini and headscarf to protect her little head from the hot sun.
 

At one point, little Sophia decided she would prefer to wear her mother's pink hat instead, providing much entertainment for the giggling mother.

Adam Sandler mobbed by bikini-clad girls poolside as he makes a splash in Miami

He may be sporting something of a middle-age spread.

But that didn't stop Adam Sandler attracting plenty of attention from admiring onlookers as he splashed around in the pool on his Miami holiday.

Scroll down to see trailer for Sandler's new film, That's My Boy...

The 45-year-old actor was surrounded by a bevy of bikini-clad girls as he enjoyed the sunshine yesterday at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel.

Sandler, who starred in the 1998 movie The Waterboy, posed for pictures with his female fans - but played it safe by putting his T-shirt back on as he had his picture taken after revealing his generous physique in the water.

Adam was also seen splashing around with his children yesterday and again today - although his wife Jackie was nowhere in sight. She did however making an appearance today, showing off her figure in a patterned bikini.

Little Sadie, five, and three-year-old Sunny appeared to be having a whale of a time as they took to the pool with their father and some other children.

Sadie and her father were having lots of fun playing in the water and Sandler was seen lifting his eldest daughter in the air.

Sadie hit back and was seen pouring a cup of water over her famous father's head, who pretended to be annoyed.

The girls are little doppelgangers of the comedic star, though thankfully not in a way that resemble the character he plays in drag in Jack and Jill. 

Talking of Jack and Jill, last year's offering from the genius mind who screamed into our consciousnesses with The Wedding Crasher, it's about to score big at an awards ceremony. 

But it isn't generating Oscars buzz, rather Razzies opprobrium.

For the uninitiated, the Razzies is a night that pays tribute to the worst that Hollywood has offered up in the past 12 months.
Though a commercial hit, Jack and Jill was critically mauled.
And the gender-bending comedy, is predicted to win seven of the ten gongs at the Razzie Awards on April Fool's Day.

Sandler, who has won just one of his nine previous Razzie bids - Worst Actor for 99's Big Daddy - is expected to take home four trophies on Sunday.

His film is tipped to win: Worst Picture, Actor, Actress (both Sandler), Supporting Actor (Al Pacino), Director (Dennis Dugan), Screenplay (Sandler, Ben Zook, Steve Koren) and Couple (Sandler with himself, Pacino or Katie Holmes) No doubt, as he sat by the pool in the sunshine as Sunny and Sadie played, Adam's mind wander to his next project and perhaps a return to critical favour.

He stars alongside Andy Samberg in upcoming comedy That’s My Boy.

From the trailer and description it doesn't seem to be a radical departure for the former Saturday Night Live star.

Sandler did try going down a darker, more mature route with 2010's Grown Ups, which he has said he enjoyed... but the commercial enterprises seem to be taking precedence. 
He plays a strip bar owner named Donnie who fathered a son as a teenager, but has been estranged from him for many years.

After getting into trouble with the taxman, and discovering his son Todd, played by Andy, is now a successful hedge fund manager, he decides to reconnect and moves in with him.

However it causes conflict with Todd's fiancée, who is played by Leighton Meester, as his wild ways begin to rub off on his previously straight-laced son.

That's My Boy is due for release in America on June 15.

Avocado is also known as Alligator Pear originated in southern Mexico. It has become a useful ingredient for our daily skin care routine. It is rich in fat as well as protein. These fats are monounsaturated which is good for a healthy heart. The provision of vitamin E in avocado helps the heart to remain fit. It is also known to supply 60% more potassium in comparison to banana.

It is also rich in fiber, foliate (folic acid), vitamin B6, iron, copper and magnesium. Other than applying avocado on your skin, consuming it in salad form can also be beneficial for your skin. Avocado contains vitamins like A, D, and E which has penetrating qualities to improve your skin. Avocado oil is also very useful for skin care. The oil is useful to remove any sun damage or age spots. It also softens the skin and provides a moisturizing effect and can do wonders on damaged, undernourished and dehydrated skin.

Simple Recipes for Skin Care

Puffed Eyes
Cut avocado into slices and place it under each eye and relax with it for next 20 minutes. The changes would be remarkable.

Eye Cream
Make an eye cream by mixing 5 drops of almond oil in 3 ripe slices of avocado. Blend this mixture and dab it around your eyes. Keep it for five minutes then rinse.

Another method of making the eye cream is by using 1/4 cup avocado oil with 1/4 cup aloe vera gel. You could also use apricot kernel, grape seed or sesame oil.

Facial Mask
This facial mask is useful for dry skin. Mash half avocado and apply it leisurely on your face. Keep it for 15 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.

Make a paste of ½ ripe avocado mixed with 1 tsp vegetable oil. Apply this paste on a washed and clean face. Leave it for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse it with warm water. This masque is very good for dry skin.

Smooth and Beautiful Hands
Make a paste by mixing 1/4 peeled & smashed avocado, 1 egg white, 2 tbsp. oatmeal and 1 tsp lemon juice. Apply this paste on your hand and leave it for 20 minutes. Rinse it with warm water and pat it dry. You would be thrilled by the results by using it regularly.

Facial Scrub
You would need 2 tbsp. flax seeds, 1/2 mashed banana and 1/2 avocado peel. Use a small bowl to mix flax seeds and banana. Scoop the banana and flax seed by using avocado peel. Massage this scoop on your face in circular motion, slowly and gently. Rinse it with warm water.
