Serena Williams Turns to Unconventional Remedy for Sunburn: Her Own Breast Milk
Tennis legend shares her at-home experiment with fans on TikTok
In a recent TikTok video, tennis legend Serena Williams, who welcomed her second daughter in August, revealed an unconventional solution for treating a sunburn on her face – her own leftover breast milk. The 42-year-old athlete explained the experiment to her followers, showcasing her fresh-faced appearance and a black sports bra in the bathroom setting.
Williams, known for her openness about motherhood challenges, shared the motivation behind the unique remedy. “They say put breast milk on everything, and I have a lot extra,” she said. Williams plans to apply breast milk under her eye for a week to gauge its effectiveness in soothing her sunburn.
In the caption, Williams asked her followers for their thoughts on the unconventional method, writing, “OK, is this totally weird??? I have to say after a week of using MY breast milk under my eye — it worked! I’m dying to hear your thoughts.”
Fans responded positively to Williams’ candid share, with one mentioning using breast milk as a facial treatment decades ago and hailing it as “miracle milk.” Others expressed admiration for Williams’ authenticity in discussing the challenges of motherhood.

This revelation comes just a month after Williams gave a glimpse into her real-life parenting routine at the 2023 CFDA Awards. In a behind-the-scenes video, she showed the less glamorous side of motherhood, including a moment of pumping breast milk.
Serena Williams and her husband, tech entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, welcomed their second child, Adira River Ohanian, on August 22. Ohanian shared the joyous news on social media, expressing gratitude for the medical staff and describing their home as “teaming with love” for the newest addition to their family.
