It’s no secret Kim Kardashian is always on the lookout for the latest innovative anti-aging treatments – however she’s recently taken it to a whole new level.
In the latest episode of The Kardashians, which was released on Hulu on Thursday, July 11, the reality star shared her experience with a unique facial procedure aimed at achieving a youthful glow – and we put emphasis on “unique.”
“I got a salmon sperm facial with salmon sperm injected into my face,” Kardashian revealed to her mother, Kris Jenner, who looked visibly shocked by the revelation.
Although the 43-year-old mom of four didn’t specify whether the treatment yielded any positive results, she’s not the only one intrigued by this unconventional method. Jennifer Aniston, 55, has also tried the treatment. Revealing to the Wall Street Journal in a 2023 interview that she was initially skeptical. “First of all, I said, ‘Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?'” she recalled. Despite her curiosity, Aniston admitted that she didn’t notice much improvement in her skin post-procedure.

Fans went wild in the comments section of PopCrave’s post about Kardashian, which they shared on X (formerly known as Twitter). “If we had a dollar for every random thing about the Kardashians that we never needed to know, we would all be richer than Bill Gates,” noted one fan, while another stated, “injected into your face? kim baby…” Another user hilariously commented, “We should all know less about each other.”
Salmon sperm facials are a popular skincare trend in Korea, touted for their potential to boost collagen production, among other benefits. The SKIMS founder has tried her fair share of odd beauty routines, admitting that she’d do anything to keep her youthful appearance.”I’ll try anything. If you told me that I literally had to eat poop every single day and I would look younger, I might. I just might,” she revealed in a 2022 profile with the New York Times.
