Kim K credits salmon sperm facial for glowing skin
Kim Kardashian had a salmon sperm facial. The Skims founder is a fan of the US$500 (about N$9150 at yesterday's exchange rate) beauty treatment that makes the skin glow for several months.
Discussing who out of her family would survive in the wilderness, Kardashian spilled on this week’s ‘The Kardashians’: “I got salmon sperm facial. With salmon sperm injected into my face".
The 43-year-old star is known for making the vampire facial famous. However, she later admitted she regretted having the controversial micro-needling treatment, which uses the person's blood to rejuvenate the skin. She shared on Instagram in 2018: “A few years ago, I heard about a ‘vampire facial’, and I was so intrigued".
Due to being pregnant at the time, she couldn’t have the numbing cream, which made the pain unbearable. She recalled: “It was really rough and painful for me. It was honestly the most painful thing ever! It’s the one treatment that I’ll never do again".
She added: “Even though it wasn’t for me, I know it has so many benefits for your skin. Kourtney [Kardashian-Barker, her older sister] is a huge fan and I know a lot of other people that love it, too.”
Kardashian-Barker (45) has the beauty treatment as often as possible and likes to combine it with a whole day of “downtime” where she relaxes and looks after her appearance. She told Health magazine in 2020: “I love platelet-rich plasma [treatments]. They take your blood and spin it, and then take the plasma and micro-needle it [into your face]. They call it the vampire facial. It’s usually a day of downtime, but it’s something I like to do as often as I can".
Making time for skincare
Kardashian has a very full schedule due to her filming commitments and business responsibilities, which means that she is time-poor when it comes to her skincare regime.
The ‘American Horror Story’ star – who launched her own skincare line SKKN BY KIM – will take any opportunity to look after her complexion and is happy to pamper herself on a plane with zero embarrassment.
In an interview with PEOPLE last year, she said: “I love to mask when I’m travelling, on the plane or at the hotel as part of my prep when I feel like my skin is looking a bit dull, so that I have that fresh ‘I just received a facial’ look before any big event".
Sometimes, she will have as little as 10 minutes for her skincare regime, she said, but will take any time she can get, adding that it’s a necessary routine she has taught her four children, North (11), Saint (8), Chicago (6) and Psalm (5).
The raven-haired beauty – who raises her children with ex-husband Kanye West – said: “It’s definitely nice to have a moment of self-care. Even when I’m busy, I always make time for my skincare routine, especially at night".
“Taking care of your skin is such a vital part of my self-care routine, and I hope to instil that philosophy of always making that time for self-care in my children. It’s so important to make that time for yourself, for your mind, body and spirit.”
