Kim Kardashian says she avoids smiling so she doesn’t get wrinkles
When a fan asked the 38-year-old her secret to smooth skin during a master class in LA, she responded with an unusual answer.
Have you noticed something Kim Kardashian hasn’t been doing a lot of recently? If you haven’t, you will soon.
The 38-year-old spends thousands of dollars on creams and treatments to help her skin look youthful and fresh, and while there are plenty of products out there to help minimise fine lines, Kardashian has opted for a free solution — and that is not to smile.
When a fan asked for her secret to smooth skin during a master class with make-up pro Mario Dedivanovic in LA over the weekend, she responded: “Don’t smile.”
According to People, she reportedly does this to prevent smile lines from appearing — but it’s safe to say this isn’t the only tactic she uses.
In early 2018, Kardashian detailed her skincare routine, or more specifically, how she’s tackling the ageing process head on, in a post via her app
“In any skincare routine, anti-ageing products are SO important,” she said at the time. “They can have so many benefits, like reducing dark spots, preventing wrinkles, smoothing fine lines and so much more.”
If you think her “no smiling" comment sounds all too familiar, you are correct.
The mum-of-three stopped flashing her pearly whites back in 2015.
At the time, Kardashian told C Magazine that cruel criticism over her burgeoning weight while she was pregnant with North in 2013 “changed her personality”. She said she suffered from pre-eclampsia which caused her to bloat.
“It was the worst. I couldn’t help it, and everyone would say, ‘She can’t stop eating’. I delivered at 180, and they were like, ‘She’s 210 pounds. She’s getting dumped because she’s too fat’ and all these ridiculous stories,” Kardashian said at the time.
She said the criticism took a toll and changed the way she viewed having her picture taken.
“Before I was always smiling and so into being out and about,” Kardashian said.
“After I had the baby, I was like these are the same people that made fun of me and posted the stories that were so awful, calling me fat for something I couldn’t control. I don’t want to smile for them.”
Kardashian, who suffers from severely dry skin on her face and legs, is set to use a new surrogate for her fourth baby with husband Kanye West.
The 38-year-old star was hoping San Diego mum La’Reina Haynes would be able to carry their next child after she gave birth to the couple’s daughter Chicago last January. That was until Ms Haynes fell pregnant.
