An acid attack survivor has issued a scathing message to Kim Kardashian’s beauty line as she urges people not to be ‘unkind’ to their face.
Katie Piper, of London, England, was the victim of a horrific revenge plot orchestrated by her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch, back in March 2008.
Now, the 41-year-old has made a heartfelt plea to people considering purchasing Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS seamless sculpt face wrap, which retails for $48.
Its description reads: “Our first-ever face innovation is here. This must-have face wrap boasts our signature sculpting fabric and features collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support. Velcro closures at the top and nape of the neck allow for easy, everyday wear.”
Taking to Instagram in a ‘get ready with me’ style video, Piper said: “Okay, can we talk about the new Skims Kardashian neckband snatched face thing? You know what I mean? I mean, we’ve all seen it, right?

“I was scrolling and just like stumbled across it and I assumed it was a burn survivor that I was following or some kind of medical account that I was following.”
She went on to explain how she was forced to wear something similar to the face wrap, while she was undergoing pressure therapy as part of her burned survivor recovery treatment, and had to wear it 24 hours a day for two years – although the mom-of-two noted that she ‘didn’t pay what Kim is charging for hers’.
Piper continued: “So when I saw this latest offering from them for women, I was just like, oh my God. No, please, people – don’t imprison your face in this contraption. Don’t be so cruel and unkind to your face.
“If you hate your jaw, I mean, I kind of hate this expression, right? ‘Snatched face’, it basically means tight jaw or thin jaw, right? If you hate your jaw and you’re young, the chances are it’s to do with a diet of processed food and sugar, right? And you have inflammation and you feel spongy.
“Change your diet, go for a walk. Don’t punish your face and strap it up in this expensive piece of cloth that is going to do nothing. If you hate your jaw and you’re my age or older, chances are it’s aging, loss of elasticity, collagen, laxity, jowls, whatever.”
She went on: “Do you know what the opposite to aging is? Dying. Not getting older means you are dead, okay? Stop being cruel to your face. Stop being unkind to your face. Your face does amazing things. Do you know what your face is home to? It’s home to your eyesight, your smell, your taste.

“Everything, all your senses your face carries you through this amazing thing that we call life and if one day you didn’t have your face, or somebody took your face away from you, you would be so sad and you would feel so bad that you encased it in a stupid strap – that by the way does absolutely nothing.”
In the 17 years that have passed since the model became the victim of an acid attack by Stefan Sylvestre – who was enlisted by Lynch to carry out the cowardly act, Piper has made a distinguished career for herself as a breakfast TV show host, as well as having settled down with her husband who she married in 2016 and has two children with.
On top of this all, she’s even received an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for her services to charity and victims of burns and other disfigurement injuries, by the Queen in her New Year’s honors list in 2022 – nine months before Queen Elizabeth II died.
