Kim Kardashian has revealed she's had a facial using salmon sperm. The Skims founder is known for her love of unique beauty treatments, and this £500 procedure promises to leave skin glowing. During an episode of The Kardashians, Kim said: "I got a salmon sperm facial.
With salmon sperm injected into my face." The 43-year-old previously popularised the Vampire Facial, a controversial micro-needling treatment that uses the person's own blood to rejuvenate the skin. However, she later expressed regret over the painful procedure on Instagram in 2018.
She said: "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." Despite her own experience, Kim acknowledged the benefits of the treatment, adding: "Even though it wasn't for me, I know it has so many benefits for your skin.
"Kourtney is a huge fan and I know a lot of other people that love it, too." Her sister Kourtney, 45, is a regular user of the Vampire Facial and often combines it with a day of relaxation and self-care. 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 microneedle 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.
" Kim has a jam-packed schedule due to her filming commitments and business responsibilities, leaving her with little time for her skincare routi.
