There is no such thing as TMI when it comes to the Kardashians.

Kim Kardashian made the eyebrow-raising admission in the latest episode of The Kardashians that she recently got the same salmon-sperm facial that Jennifer Aniston previously made headlines for trying.

"I got a salmon-sperm facial with salmon sperm injected into my face," Kardashian, 43, casually told mom Kris Jenner while the family was in between filming promos for their eponymous reality show.

While the clip didn't reveal Kardashian's ultimate review of the anti-aging treatment, Jenner could be seen laughing at her daughter as she made the admission.

This all tracks for Kardashian, who previously told The New York Times in 2022, “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.”

Aniston previously made headlines in August of last year for her use of the unusual salmon treatment after talking about it in an interview for WSJ Magazine's Fall Women’s Fashion issue. The actress told the outlet that she had been first clued in to the facial by an aesthetician.

"First of all, I said, ‘Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?’” she told the outlet, before saying she wasn't sure if it had made a huge difference in her skin.

The facial itself involves injections or microneedling techniques to get the best results. And while it might sound new age, the idea of a salmon-sperm facial has been around since the 1980s, according to PopSugar. "When it comes to skin care, the quest for a holy grail ingredient will always continue," New York City-based dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, told the outlet. "Salmon milt 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."
