Carrie Coon has been in Hollywood for many years, but the glitz and glam have not swayed her from using the beauty products that truly work, no matter how unglamorous they may be. During an interview with Town & Country, the White Lotus star revealed that she never leaves the house without one thing—Lansinoh Nipple Cream ($11), for her lips.
“You guys, let’s just talk straight here, it’s the same tissue. Nipples and lips are basically the same tissue, so it stands to reason that the nipple cream is going to work very well on your lips,” says Coon in the video. She adds that you don’t have to put it on as often, and it comes in a big tube. The formula features just one ingredient, lanolin, which is beneficial for soothing and protecting sore or cracked nipples, hence why it might work well as a lip treatment.
Coon needs hydrated lips at all times. “If I forget chapstick, I have to go home, or I have to go to the drugstore because I can’t live without chapstick of some variety, most often nipple cream,” she says. “I mean, you know, it’s for babies. You could eat it, so it’s perfectly safe to put on your face.”
“I’ve converted a lot of people to nipple cream for their lips,” says Coon. Naturally, we’re wondering if any of her co-stars are also in on this hack. It’s worth noting that Kylie Jenner is another celeb fan, but she uses it for its intended purpose. Coon’s word to the wise—“Just don’t drop it because people pick it up for you, and then they’re embarrassed. It’s very uncomfortable.”
