Woman reveals why she uses NIPPLE cream on her lips… and everyone agrees it’s genius
A YOUNG woman has revealed that she uses nipple cream instead of lip balm.
Esther Burden took to social media to share off her soft pout and credited it to a nipple cream commonly used by breastfeeding mums.
She said: “You can’t convince me that nipple skin and lip skin aren’t the same.”
On the back of this, the waitress lathers her pout in nipple cream to soothe dry skin and cracks.
Her choice of product is the Lansinoh HPA Lanolin Nipple Cream.
According to bosses, the cream “helps to soothe and protect sore and cracked nipples”.
The formula is hypoallergenic and made from 100% natural ingredients.
The cream’s small print further reveals that it can be used for nappy rash, stretch marks and as a lip balm.
Esther’s revelation has made waves online, with many new mums sharing their shock that the useful product can be used for more than one thing.
One woman said: “The way I gasped.”
A second quipped: “I still have some left over from the surrogacy and I put a dab on from time to time.
“The best.”
One nipple cream fan weighed in that it “saved” their lips when on medication that completely dried their skin out.
Dermatologist Debra Jaliman MD said: “Nipple creams are super-hydrating.
“You only have to dab a small amount to get your lips fully covered.
“And it doesn’t just sit on top of your lips, but penetrates it.”
According to Dr. Jaliman, the cream is more of an ointment than a cream and is usually clear with a thick consistency.
