Kim Kardashian has opened up about her struggle with psoriasis. The reality star and SKIMS founder has always been open about her skin condition. Now, she’s sharing how it nearly ruined her appearance at the 2022 Met Gala.
In a recent episode of the SHE MD podcast, Kardashian discussed her battle with psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy, scaly patches. These patches can be painful or cause a burning sensation.
Kardashian explained that she usually experiences flare-ups on her legs and stomach. However, when it gets severe, it can also appear on her butt and face. A spot near her eye almost affected her Met Gala appearance. “When it started to cover my face, I got desperate. There was a spot near my eye that burned a little,” she shared on the podcast. “I remember having the Met Ball that week, and it was covering my face.” She suspected stress might have caused the flare-up, but she added, “I think I manage my stress pretty well, so it’s shocking to me.”
Despite the flare-up, Kardashian attended the Met Gala in her famous Marilyn Monroe dress. She did everything she could to manage the condition, including using concealer. “We put on concealer, and my makeup artist said, ‘It’s crazy that your makeup is holding well on it.’ So, he wasn’t concerned,” she recalled.
Kardashian has tried various remedies to manage her psoriasis. She has drunk “tar tea,” taken herbs, and consumed celery juice. She has also tried almost every topical cream available. Sometimes, she applies a special cream, wraps her legs in plastic wrap, and sleeps in it. “Sometimes I feel super insecure about it, so I use body makeup. Other times, I really don’t care,” she said.
