  • Kardashian clarified her comment about "eating poop" to look younger

One of Kim Kardashian’s hygiene habits has left fans horrified.

In an interview with Allure, the “Kardashians” star, 41, admitted that she sometimes sleeps with a full face of makeup on. She acknowledged that it wasn’t the best advice to give to fans but explained that she did it on days when she needed to get up for work early in the morning.

“The one talent that I have, that is probably the worst advice to give you guys, is I can sleep in full makeup, and I can sleep like this [flat on the back] and never ruin my makeup,” Kardashian said.

She continued, “So, sometimes you’ll see if I have to get up really early in the morning, I’ll do my makeup the night before ... sleep, not move and wear it the whole next day. You would never know. My makeup lasts a really long time on my face. I don’t know why. Not the healthiest, but it is what it is.”

Kardashian made the revelation while answering a question from a fan about her sleep habits. The Skims founder also shared that she is a side-sleeper and a “snuggler” and that sleep is very important to her.

“Sleep is everything so I’m not too hard on myself about that,” she said.

A number of fans and social media users were not pleased with Kardashian’s admission, with one person sharing a clip from the interview on Reddit with the caption: “Kim doesn't brush her teeth.”

“She chats so much s--t. She says she works out every day and has a 5 a.m. routine where the toothpaste is on her toothbrush already from the night before,” one user replied.

The clip was also shared on TikTok, where one user commented: “It’s not talent, it’s gross.”

“It’s genuinely sad and alarming that she considers that 'talent.’ [I don’t care] even when people say, ‘It’s not that deep,’” another wrote.

This wasn’t the first time Kardashian faced backlash on social media this year. In June, she was also criticized for saying in an interview with The New York Times that she would “eat poop” if it made her look younger.

"If you told me that I literally had to eat poop every single day and I would look younger, I might. I just might,” Kardashian said.

In her cover story interview for the latest issue of Allure, Kardashian was asked about that comment, and she revealed that it was a joke. Still, after contemplating the idea, she confessed that she “probably” would eat poop if it could help her maintain her youthful looks.

“I was kind of joking,” Kardashian said. “But now that I think about it, I would probably eat s--t if someone told me, ‘If you eat this bowl of poop every single day, you’ll look younger.’”

“That doesn’t mean that I don’t know the difference from that to an unhealthy level of feeling like I can’t age,” she added. “I’m 41. I always want to look appropriate. There does come a point when you’ve taken it too far — overfilled, too tight, too much cosmetic work. There’s nothing worse.”

Kardashian recently launched her skincare line, Skkn by Kim, on June 21, with new products such as a cleanser, toner, exfoliator, numerous serums, eye cream, oil drops and night oils.
