Serena Williams used her own breast milk to treat a sunburn.
“Ok is this totally weird??? I have to say after a week of using MY breast milk under my eye – it worked!” the former pro tennis athlete revealed in the caption of a video she posted on TikTok Sunday.
“I’m dying to hear your thoughts. Be nice lol ????.”
Williams — who welcomed her second daughter, Adira River, with husband Alexis Ohanian in August — shared a video of herself from when she began her new skincare journey one week prior.
In the clip, the mother of two shook up a small bottle of breast milk before applying it under her eye with a tissue.
“I completely got burned under my eye… Don’t ask,” Williams, 42, said in the clip.
She went on to explain how she had been using retinol — a skincare product known to cause sensitivity to the sun — on her “sensitive skin” when she got the sunburn.
“It works for my kid,” Williams — who also shares 6-year-old daughter Olympia with River — said.

“They say put breast milk on everything and I have a lot extra, so I’m gonna try it for a week or so and see how it goes.”
Fortunately, it worked. Williams just didn’t share visual proof.
Still, she’s not the only celebrity who’s documented the healing powers that come from leftover breast milk.
In April, Halsey gushed about using breast milk to heal her own skin.
“It’s so full of antioxidants and good fats and stuff that speed up the healing process,” the singer told Nylon Magazine at the time, calling the liquid the “best skincare ingredient.”
The mother of one, who welcomed son Ender in July 2021, shared how she became more conscious of the products she would put on her face after giving birth.
“When your baby is kissing you or snuggled up against you, you become hyper-cognizant of what’s on your face,” she shared.
