Kylie Jenner may have risen to fame through her sister, but today, she’s an icon in her own light. Her lip kits were all the rage when she launched them, stating they’re what makes her lips plump and fuller. But that’s before she admitted to getting fillers.
However, Kylie’s lips have always remained a topic of discussion. To give her fans what they want (more insight on her routine), Kylie revealed that she swears by an unusual product to keep her lips hydrated and plump, no matter what the weather.
It’s Not Your Average Lip Balm
While Kendall Jenner is all about a good lip balm, Kylie’s product is a little unexpected. She uses the Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream, a product meant for soothing dry skin while breastfeeding, on her lips and calls it her “best secret”!
This cream is packed with lanolin, an ultra-moisturising ingredient that forms a barrier to lock in hydration, making it perfect for keeping lips soft and plump, especially when it’s cold or windy outside.
Lanolin works wonders on dry skin, and since it’s safe for sensitive areas, it can double as a lip balm. But she wasn’t the first to discover it – a reddit thread reveals people have been swearing by this hack forever.
Here’s Why It Works
- Affordable
- Works against dry/chapped skin (nipples, hands, feet, lips, etc.)
- Occlusive aka helps prevent moisture loss
- A natural emulsifier
All in all, this hack is affordable and effective, and it’s one more low-key skincare trick that’s worth having on hand!
