Denise Richards is taking a page out of Jennifer Aniston’s beauty book!

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 54, confessed to getting a salmon sperm facial after the “Friends” actress, 56, revealed she had one in 2023.

“For the exterior, I see a dermatologist doctor. He’s awesome, he’s very subtle, Dr. [Robert] Dorfman. I did do that salmon sperm facial,” Richards told People for a story published Sunday.

“It was good. I had to after I heard Jennifer Aniston did,” the TV personality added. “Who’s not going to do that?”

Although the “Wild Things” actress playfully admitted to not knowing “what the heck” the facial was, Aniston’s stamp of approval was enough to convince her.

“I was like, ‘If she did it, I’ll do it,'” Richards said, before explaining that she doesn’t like to do “a bunch of stuff” to her skin.

The “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things” star said that because she wants to “look like [herself]” she tries to stay away from fillers.

“I don’t do a bunch of fillers. I do a little Botox,” Richards shared. “I want to move my face because my eyebrows are very expressive, so I want to keep all that. But I try to do subtle.”

Richards admitted that the salmon sperm facial “sounds weird” but she likes to keep an open mind when it comes to beauty trends.

“If I could do a little laser or that salmon sperm thing or whatever, I’ll try it,” she doubled down.

Aniston first revealed her experience with the unconventional beauty treatment during an August 2023 interview with WSJ. Magazine.

“First of all, I said, ‘Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?'” Aniston recalled saying to her aesthetician at the time.

Although the “Morning Show” star tried the Korean beauty treatment, she wasn’t positive it was completely effective.

Salmon sperm facials are often done to help the skin produce more collagen, increase cell turnover and improve pigmentation and inflammation.

Over a year later, Aniston appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to set the record straight on the facial.

“But let me explain to you: It’s not like — how do you get sperm out of salmon? It was sort of unclear. I just took the woman’s word that that’s what it was, and I was like, ‘Sure!'” she said of the treatment.

The LolaVie founder then shared that the treatment involves microneedling to “push in” the main ingredient.

“Don’t I look like a salmon? Don’t I have beautiful salmon skin?” she joked.
