The Kim Kardashian Standard
The 2025 Protocol: SKKN, Lasers, and LongevityIf there is one person who has single-handedly shifted the beauty industry from “heavy contour” to “glass skin,” it is Kim Kardashian. In 2025, her approach has evolved into a hyper-disciplined mix of her own line, SKKN BY KIM, and a roster of high-tech treatments that cost more than a mid-sized sedan.
Gone are the vampire facials of 2013. The 2025 routine is about barrier repair, biostimulation, and non-invasive lifting. We are breaking down the exact 9-step ritual she swears by, her current diet for inflammation, and the lasers she visits Dr. Simon Ourian for religiously.
1. The SKKN 9-Step Ritual
Kim launched her brand with a philosophy of “more is more.” While the trend in 2025 is leaning toward skin minimalism, Kim sticks to her guns with a comprehensive 9-step layering process designed to hydrate and resurface simultaneously.
Note: The routine continues with Vitamin C8 Serum, Face Cream, Eye Cream, Oil Drops, and Night Oil. To read about how younger stars are adapting these routines, check out the Zendaya daily routine.
2. The “High-Tech” Maintenance
Let’s be real: creams only go so far. Kim’s agelessness in 2025 is largely due to her commitment to “tweakments.” She famously visits Dr. Simon Ourian and Dr. Ashkan Ghavami for these specific procedures.
| Treatment | Frequency | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Morpheus8 | Quarterly | Radiofrequency microneedling to tighten skin and contour the jawline. Kim calls it “painful but worth it.” |
| Sofwave | Monthly | Ultrasound technology to lift eyebrows and neck tissue without downtime. |
| MOXI Laser | Seasonally | A gentle “pre-juvenation” laser to clear sun damage and melasma (a condition she openly battles). |
| Potenza RF | As Needed | Deep microneedling for texture smoothing and pore reduction. |

3. The “Eat Your Skincare” Diet
Kim has shifted heavily toward a plant-forward diet to manage her psoriasis, an autoimmune condition that affects her skin. In 2025, her “Skin Diet” involves:
- Sea Moss Gel: Consumed daily in smoothies for mineral support.
- Anti-Inflammatory focus: Zero dairy, limited gluten, and massive intake of leafy greens.
- Hydration: 3 liters of water daily, often supplemented with electrolytes.
