Playboy model credits breast milk with flawless complexion, replacing pricey moisturisers
LA-based influencer says milk from a friend transformed her skincare, a move that began as a dare
A Los Angeles–based Playboy model says breast milk is behind her flawless complexion, claiming it delivers better results than AU$400 moisturiser.
Katie Flowers, who has built a following as a sex‑positive influencer and relationship coach, described her skincare routine as starting as a dare and evolving into a daily ritual. In an interview with the Daily Mail this week, she said, “My skincare is 60% hydration, 30% chaos, and 10% breast milk. Don’t be mad at the math.” She added that the milk is sourced from a female friend who was pumping and who gifted her glass bottles, which Flowers now keeps in her fridge for everyday use, applying it to her face as if it were La Mer. “She was already producing, and I was curious. So we bottled some up and I went home and put it on my face like it was La Mer,” Flowers explained.
Flowers said the routine produced noticeable results the next day, describing it as “warm, weird, and a little bit wonderful.” She said the skin appeared smoother and more radiant with no breakouts, adding, “The next morning? Smooth. Glowy. No breakouts. Just vibes.” She also noted a broader skepticism from dermatologists when asked about the glow, while reiterating her stance that she relies on what the female body naturally makes rather than high‑end products. “They want you to pay AU$423 for snail slime and placenta cream. I use what the female body already made.”
The model acknowledged that friends were skeptical at first, with some “clutching their pearls” when she discussed using breast milk on her face. Yet she insisted there is no interest in turning the practice into a product or a skincare line, saying, “It’s not a product. It’s a phase. Or maybe a kink. Either way, it’s mine.” She stressed that she does not advocate the routine for others and does not plan to sell milk for cosmetic use.
Beyond breast milk, Flowers said she is open to experimenting with other unconventional skincare treatments. “If it keeps working, it stays. Breast milk, snail slime, bee venom—I'll try it all,” she said. She even mentioned recent experiments with bone marrow, describing the practice as primal and prehistoric, yet somehow producing a glow. The credibility of these claims has been met with a mix of curiosity and skepticism in online comment sections, where some readers have questioned the safety and efficacy of such approaches.
Flowers has built a public persona around her boundary-pushing choices. By trade she markets herself as a relationship coach and has previously appeared on the covers of Playboy Sweden and FHM in 2024. Her remarks about skin care have been reported by outlets including the Daily Mail, which framed the story as part of a broader conversation about DIY and unconventional beauty routines in the health and wellness space.
The broader health context for such claims remains complex. Medical professionals generally advise caution with non-traditional substances applied to the skin and emphasize evidence-based products whose safety and efficacy are supported by research. While Flowers framing her regimen as a personal experiment, the public response illustrates ongoing tensions between novelty-driven beauty trends and conventional dermatology. Regardless, her experience underscores how some celebrities and influencers push boundaries in pursuit of perceived “glow,” even as experts warn against unverified practices.
