Celebrity Skincare Shock: Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston Try the 'Salmon Sperm Facial

Is the key to youthful, radiant skin hidden in salmon testicles? Kim Kardashian, known for her beauty escapades, recently mentioned on "The Kardashians" that she underwent a "salmon sperm facial" during filming for her Hulu series. She described the treatment as involving the injection of salmon sperm into her face, although details were sparse.

Jennifer Aniston, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, also admitted trying a salmon sperm facial, though unsure of its impact on her skin. This unconventional beauty trend isn't limited to celebrities – "salmon pdrn," derived from salmon testicle DNA, features in luxury K-beauty products like KAHI Wrinkle Free Multi Balm, popularized in media such as Netflix's "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" and Doja Cat's "Vegas" music video.

While the idea of applying fish genetic material may raise eyebrows, beauty experts and research tout its regenerative and anti-inflammatory benefits. Studies indicate that salmon sperm can enhance skin elasticity and bolster collagen levels, crucial for combating signs of aging.
