Kris Jenner, the 70-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian family, stunned fans this week with a rare makeup-free selfie, showcasing a radiant, taut complexion that has sparked widespread admiration online.
The Instagram Story post revealed the results of a recent facial with celebrity esthetician Keren Bartov, whose clients include Julia Roberts, Kristen Bell, and Cindy Crawford. In the sunlit photo, Jenner’s cheeks appeared flushed, her skin dewy and poreless, while her dark hair was pulled back to highlight her smooth, line-free face. “Thank you @keren_bartov, greatest facial!!” she captioned the image.
Bartov shared the photo on her own Instagram with the words, “Timeless beauty, precision care.” Later, Jenner’s daughter Khloé Kardashian posted her own images from the session, praising the treatment and featuring Bartov’s Advanced Skincare Line, including the Booster Peel & Glow Serum, Ultra Peptide Serum, and Advanced Skin Serum. Bartov responded, noting, “True beauty is built on consistency, care, and skin health. An incredible and beautiful family. Love each and every one of you.”
While facials and high-end skincare contribute to Jenner’s glow, her youthful appearance is also supported by cosmetic procedures. In August, Jenner told Vogue Arabia that she had undergone her second facelift, over a decade after her first. “I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh. I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy,” she said. Jenner has been open about embracing cosmetic treatments, a perspective shared by her daughter Khloé, who has discussed her own Botox and filler routines.
Jenner has long spoken candidly about aging and beauty. “Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself,” she told Vogue Arabia. “If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully—meaning you don’t want to do anything—then don’t do anything. But for me, this is aging gracefully. It’s my version.” She emphasized the importance of consistent skincare in a 2021 WSJ Magazine interview: “I’m obsessed with my skin and have always taken really good care of it. I had my first facial when I was a very young girl and just never stopped. It was always a priority.”
Jenner has also approached cosmetic procedures with humor. On a recent episode of The Kardashians, she joked to Kim Kardashian in Paris, “Probably the only thing on my face that’s real is my nose,” to which Kim quipped, “Never had a veneer, baby.” Her recent facelift, reportedly costing around $100,000, was performed by New York-based celebrity surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine ahead of her 70th birthday in November.
Since the procedure, Jenner has appeared at several high-profile events, including Lauren Sánchez-Bezos’ bachelorette party in Paris, accompanied by her daughters Kylie and Kim, and the 20th Anniversary of L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth in Los Angeles, where she joined Kendall Jenner in a striking red Valentino gown.
Reflecting on her openness about cosmetic enhancements, Jenner told Vogue Arabia, “It really is somehow my way of showing people and trying to inspire others not to be afraid of surgeries that you need or even something you want to do because you want to feel better about yourself.” Over the years, she has undergone a range of procedures, from Botox and breast augmentations in the 1980s to a hip replacement documented on The Kardashians in 2022, demonstrating her commitment to both health and beauty.
