Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston Rave About Animal Sperm Facials
In a seemingly desperate attempt to defy aging, Kim Kardashian tried the Jennifer Aniston-approved salmon sperm facial.
Kim Kardashian, 43, said she would eat poop every day if it meant looking younger, so we're not really surprised about her injecting salmon sperm into her skin.
In a recent episode of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder revealed she tried a new skincare treatment that's said to improve skin, wrinkles, and texture. That treatment is salmon ejaculate, otherwise known as polynucleotide injections. "I got a salmon sperm facial with salmon sperm injected into my face," she explained.
Jennifer Aniston made headlines in 2023 when she also admitted to using salmon sperm facials. “First of all, I said, ‘Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?’” she recalled in her Vanity Fair interview. The Friends star tried it, but apparently she's more of "a peptide injection gal," even calling it “the future.” Makes sense why Kardashian would follow in the actress's footsteps – Aniston looks increedible at 55. But still, sperm facials? Really?
Believe it or not, salmon sperm facials are not a new trend. The treatment originated in South Korea, the "plastic surgery capital of the world," promising to boost collagen, increase cell turnover, and more. "Salmon [semen] has been shown to improve skin, hydration, plumpness, texture, and wrinkles. 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 skin care for their hydrating and cell-renewing benefits," Joshua Zeichner, MD, a New York City-based dermatologist, told Pop Sugar.
Between the salmon sperm facials, period blood facemasks, and baby foreskin for anti-aging, I think we have truly gone too far in pursuing a youthful appearance. We've turned skincare into a bizarre game of "what's next?" and I'm scared of where it will lead us.
Maybe Kardashian's poop comment isn't too far off. She doubled down on her gross statement in 2022, saying, "I was kind of joking, but now that I think about it, I would probably eat s*** if someone told me, 'If you eat this bowl of poop every single day, you'll look younger."
She continued, "I care. I really, genuinely care about looking good. I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet."
