According to <a href=\"https:\/\/tribune.com.pk\/story\/2351086\/glow-with-gratitude-in-conversation-with-pakistans-first-ever-ken-doll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Express Tribune<\/a>, Adnan Zafar shared that while he hasn\u2019t gone under the knife as much as many others trying to become &#8216;human Ken dolls&#8217;, he is way more into skincare.<\/p>\n<p>Originally hailing from Faisalabad, the Instagrammer talked about how there\u2019s no shame in taking care of yourself as a Pakistani man.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI was always into skincare. My mom had a salon and I was always so inspired by her that she was helping people to get to look better or look amazing in their skin. And that actually got into me. So I was always taking care of my skin ever since I was in school. There were times when people would ask me, \u2018What do you do for pimples? What do you do for hair colour?\u2019 I would always help them to enhance their looks and feel comfortable in their skin.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t<div class=\"p-alsoread\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading\">ALSO READ<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div><a href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/billie-eilish-losts-100000-followers-for-revealing-her-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Billie Eilish Losts 100,000 followers For Revealing Her Skin<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<p>Speaking about being influenced by his mother, he shared how she shaped the best parts of him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEverything good and pure about me is a reflection of my dear mother, &#8230; Her values and upbringing shaped me into the person I am today. People think that I&#8217;m pushing the boundaries and I&#8217;m being very edgy, but when they get to know the real Adnan, they realize that I am very traditional and very down to earth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So how did that inspire him to become &#8216;Pakistan&#8217;s first Ken doll&#8217;?<\/p>\n<p>Adnan also shed light on how he got into the idea of becoming Pakistan\u2019s first Ken doll. He explained that he was fascinated by the idea but wanted to create that effect with skincare.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI saw that there are a lot of people out there in different countries looking amazing, doing a lot of surgeries. But then we Pakistanis are blessed with incredible features. So I thought, \u2018Why not do a little bit of touch up and get this thing going?\u2019 And since I changed my username to this, I got a lot of exposure from the international skincare market. There\u2019s also no other guy out there who&#8217;s doing so much on skincare, especially collaborating with different brands, going to different clinics and all doing a lot of procedures.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Speaking of going under the knife. He doesn&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s necessary to achieve the animated look he&#8217;s going for.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don&#8217;t think I require any more extreme procedures like other Ken dolls have. I believe in good skincare and aesthetic care, and regular visits to the dermatologist which helps me not to overdo things.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t<div class=\"p-alsoread\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading\">ALSO READ<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div><a href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/iranian-ayatollah-issues-fatwa-all-female-cartoons-must-wear-hijab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iranian Ayatollah Issues Fatwa: All Female Cartoons Must Wear Hijab<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<p>While Adnan didn\u2019t share the details of his day job, he stated that his regular day involves meeting a lot of VIPs in the hospitality industry and having lots of coffee. So yeah, that sums up the life of a social media influencer.<\/p>\n<p>Adnan Zafar is a bigger TikToker than Instagrammer. With over 450,000 followers on TikTok, he plans to start his own YouTube channel when his followers hit half a million on the video-sharing platform.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy YouTube channel which will help people to know me better.
