Kim Kardashian has revealed the latest addition to her in-depth beauty regimen — salmon sperm injections to her face.
The 43-year-old reality TV star, who previously said she’d consider eating feces every day to preserve her youth, opened up about the new skincare treatment on this week’s episode of “The Kardashians.”
“I got a salmon sperm facial, salmon sperm injected into my face,” she shared with family matriarch Kris Jenner.
Last year, former “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston also drew attention to the skin-boosting method when she revealed she gave salmon sperm a try.
“First of all, I said, ‘Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?’” the actress told the Wall Street Journal.
Kardashian didn’t share whether the trend has had any visible effects, but New York City-based dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, believes in its benefits.
“Salmon [semen] has been shown to improve skin, hydration, plumpness, texture and wrinkles,” he told Pop Sugar last year. “The effects on the skin are thought to be due to high DNA levels. DNA is composed of amino acids, which have long been used in skincare for their hydrating and cell-renewing benefits.”
Salmon sperm facials are just the latest eyebrow-raising trend embraced by the SKIMS mogul. In 2013, she said on an episode of “Kourtney & Kim Take Miami” that she got a “vampire facial,” a procedure that involves drawing a client’s own blood, separating the platelet-rich plasma and then injecting the PRP back into the skin.
