According to Medela.com, breast milk has a plethora of unique uses and topical benefits. Well, Serena Williams, is putting that theory to the test as the mother-of-two is using leftover breast milk to treat her under eye sunburn.
@serena Ok is this totally weird??? I have to say after a week of using MY breast milk under my eye – it worked! I’m dying to hear your thoughts. Be nice lol 🙈 #momsoftiktok #fyp #foryourpage #serenawilliams #life #beauty #motherhood #momhumour #moms
“So I completely got burned under my eye,” the 42-year-old began her TikTok video.
She continued, “Don’t ask,” she said, adding, “I was in the sun … long story. Anyways, I’m trying some breast milk. It works for my kid — they say put breast milk on everything and I have a lot extra, so I’m gonna try it for a week or so under my eye and see how it goes.”
Williams then went on to apply a few droplets of the breast milk under her eyes, concluding, “I mean, it already feels better, because — it hurts!”
The tennis phenom finished the video letting followers know that there will be a follow-up video to let everyone know just how well the breast milk worked.
“All right, I’ll let you guys know how it goes.”
Per Medela.com, studies have shown that the powerful immunological properties in breast milk are effective in the treatment of many skin and soft tissue conditions. Those suffering diaper rash; eczema; acne; umbilical cord separation, as well as sore, dry, or cracked nipples; pink eye; nasal congestion; minor scrapes, and burns may find relief by applying breast milk.
Since the birth of her second child, Williams has been even more open and candid about her parenting journey. In another recent TIkTok video, Williams said let her fans know the reality of celebrity “motherhood is not as glamorous as you think.”
@serena What my life is really like…. Its not as glamorous as you think…. #fyp #motherhood #momtiktoks #momhumour #moms #fashion #breastfeedingmom😍😍 #workingmom #workingmomstruggles #foryourpage #funny
Williams shares her newborn daughter, Adira River Ohanian, and her six-year-old daughter, Olympia, with tech entrepreneur husband, Alexis Ohanian.
