LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Serena Williams is making the most of her breast milk in the best possible way. The tennis legend, who is now a mother of two, recently gave birth to her second daughter, Adira River, in August. She posted a TikTok video on Sunday, December 3, explaining how she's been using her leftover breast milk to help treat the sunburn on her face.

"So I completely got burned under my eye," the 42-year-old began her clip which showed her standing in a bathroom fresh-faced and sporting a black sports bra, People reports.

"Don't ask," she said of her "sensitive skin," adding, "I was in the sun ... long story. Anyways, I'm trying some breast milk. It works for my kid — they say put breast milk on everything and I have a lot extra, so I'm gonna try it for a week or so under my eye and see how it goes."

"I mean, it already feels better, because — it hurts!" Williams said of her uncomfortable burn, adding "All right, I'll let you guys know how it goes."
