Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston are getting the ‘salmon sperm facial.’ What is going on?
Is the secret to youthful, glowing skin found in salmon testicles? Kim Kardashian might be the person to ask.
On a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” the reality television star, 43, told her mother Kris Jenner she got a “salmon sperm facial,” while shooting promotional content for the Hulu series.
“I got a salmon sperm facial with salmon sperm injected into my face,” Kardashian said, offering no further details.
She’s not the only A-lister who’s given this a facial a try either. Jennifer Aniston shared with The Wall Street Journal last year she also got a salmon sperm facial, though she wasn’t sure it made a difference in her skin. “First of all, I said, ‘Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?’ ” Aniston said.
Known as “salmon pdrn,” salmon testicle DNA has also been found in many luxury K-beauty products, including the KAHI Wrinkle Free Multi Balm, which has been popularized in TV shows like Netflix’s “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” and in Doja Cat’s “Vegas” music video. As the name implies, you glide the balm across your face for a dewy, luminous look.
Coating yourself with fish genital DNA may sound questionable, but beauty experts, along with an abundance of research, support its regenerative, anti-inflammatory effects. One study found that salmon sperm was associated with increased skin elasticity and stronger collagen levels – both of which are crucial for anti-aging skin.
