'The greatest lip balm in the world': Minnie Driver, 55, swears by this $10 salve
We're well into winter and spring is still a few weeks away, so we're sorry to say that we still have to battle through some of the coldest and driest weeks of the year. And one thing that a lingering winter season always seems to guarantee is chapped and cracked lips. Unfortunately, once your precious pout has dried out, it can be a challenge to get it back to its supple glory. But thanks to a tip from actress Minnie Driver, 55, you can get your lips back to smacking smoothly — her go-to balm is Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm and it's just $10 at Amazon. The actress shared her nighttime beauty routine with Harper's Bazaar — she uses great (read: often expensive, but we love affordable fave Palmer's Cocoa Butter) products and as a woman in Hollywood with fair and freckly skin, she's learned a few things about caring for her dermis. "[Facialist Joanna Czech] taught me a lot about my skin and a lot about the acceptance of how, as we grow older, our skin changes and we can do lots of things to support it," said Driver as she slathered serum on her face. "But we should be kind and gentle with the process of aging." Of course, skin includes her lips, which, Driver admits, can get parched. "I've tried every lip balm because I have quite dry skin and very dry lips." The one salve that she returns to again and again is one she uses at night and at work — and she's very enthusiastic about it. "This lip balm by Jack Black: It's the greatest lip balm in the world. All day when I'm working I'll have this mixed into my lipstick. When I take my lipstick off at lunchtime, this goes on. I used to get super cracked lips and I just don't anymore. There, it's amazing." Vitamin E, green tea extract, shea butter and avocado oil are just a few of the hydrating ingredients that give your lips long-lasting moisture. And if you happen to go outside on a sunny day, this lip balm also has an SPF of 25 to keep your lips protected from sun damage (which can happen no matter the season). If a thumbs-up from a movie star doesn't do enough convincing, Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm also has the approval of over 19,000 rave reviewers; more than 4,000 tubes have been bought in the last month. "My daughter who plays tennis is really prone to getting fever/sun blisters," shared a rave reviewer. "This is the only lip gloss that has helped prevent them. We have tried many other sun lip balms with SPF, and other things. This is the best, every flavor is great, we will be buying more!" "The ultimate lip balm," raved a five-star fan. "I live in Chicago and have sensitive skin. This lip balm holds up to the winters here. It entirely heals stubbornly dried/cracked lips. I can put it on before bed and have new lips by the morning." "Living in the desert definitely calls for lip balm," a happy shopper shared. "This is the first one I have found that actually moisturizers, long-term. I have tried inexpensive and expensive lip moisturizers, but none seem to actually repair dry, chapped lips. This product is the only one that actually works for me. It is fairly heavy in consistency, but not too sticky, and the fragrance is quite pleasant. So overall, I give it five stars." The only real complaint from shoppers is that this tube is relatively tiny. "The only issue that I have is the size of the tube. It's too small. Otherwise, a fabulous product," wrote one customer. Another noted: "I realize the container may seem small, but applying it only requires a tiny amount for several hours of soft and moisturized lips." If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

Minnie Driver, 55, uses this 'deeply hydrating' cream — and it's down to $8
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. We love Hollywood: It cranks out TV shows and movies to keep us entertained all year long. But if there's one thing it doesn't give us enough of, it's a humble movie star — a star like Minnie Driver. What we appreciate even more is when that humble star shares her affordable go-to beauty products, like Minnie's fave dream cream for treating dry, winter-wrecked skin: Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Daily Skin Therapy. Just in time for cold weather, it's on sale — only $8! — at Amazon. With cocoa butter and vitamin E, this cream moisturizes and nourishes the driest of skin. Dealing with winter weather means the heat is cranked all the way up and our parched skin is suffering for it. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Daily Skin Therapy is an intense moisturizer ideal for this time of year. While it goes on sale occasionally, this is the lowest price we've seen for it since 2024 and we don't expect the price to drop any further for a while. Minnie just celebrated 55 trips around the sun this year and, with parts that include an overachieving college student and an aggressive yet hilarious agent, her career has matured as well as she has. But one thing that's remained constant is her skin cream from Palmer's. She revealed her nighttime beauty routine to Harper's Bazaar, and while she does also use products including Augustinus Bader's Rich Cream (she says it's "completely, utterly amazing"), it can be pretty pricey. Not so with the $8 Palmer's that she's been using for decades. "A product that I love that I highly recommend that I've used since I was a kid is Palmer's Cocoa Butter," the Speechless star said. "I use it on my elbows, my heels, my feet, my knees. It's incredible for sunburn. God forbid, you get a sunburn. And it's just deeply, deeply hydrating. It's super inexpensive and remarkably effective." This lotion is solid but heats up with your body temperature and melts as you rub it into your skin. It takes on a creamy texture to soften, smooth and soothe dry, cracked skin or give it a glow when you're ready to put it on display. Not only is it made with cocoa butter for dreamy, hydrated skin, but it's also infused with vitamin E which reduces the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Over 26,000 Amazon shoppers share Minnie Driver's love for this cream. "It smells wonderful," shared a happy shopper. "It spreads like ... butter. I tested it on the driest area on my body (heels). It works so well that I can feel my feet tingling. The same effect happens when using the oil from the same manufacturer. I find the butter a less messy solution with the same or less value." "My face is extremely dry and this is the first moisturizer I've ever used that worked!" another five-star fan shared. "I don't have to use it three or four times a day, one time is good that it lasts me till the next morning." "Wonderful!" gushed a third rave reviewer. "I was having really dry hands that were getting painful hangnails due to overwashing, and after just putting it on once, the discomfort from the dryness and pain from the sores faded to basically nothing!" While Amazon customers generally love the cream as much as Minnie, one customer did note one important thing in their five-star review. "I always love the scent of Palmer's Cocoa butter. It has your skin feeling soft and smooth," they explained. "The only downside is you have to spread it roughly because it's thick." This shopper also added one criticism to their otherwise glowing review: "It is a bit waxy, just as a heads-up, but other than that, I can't see any other negatives." The lotion promises to soften and smooth, and it's good for all skin types. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem.
