Here’s a bold statement for you: Hannah Berner’s morning routine might just change the way you start your day—and it’s not just about coffee. But here’s where it gets controversial: while most people swear by their morning caffeine fix, Hannah’s secret weapon isn’t just any coffee creamer—it’s LACTAID’s new line, which she claims has revolutionized her mornings. And this is the part most people miss: she’s not giving up dairy, but she’s found a way to enjoy it without the discomfort. Intrigued? Let’s dive in.
Hannah Berner, the co-host of The Giggly Squad and a comedian on her None Of My Business Tour, is no stranger to keeping it real. Her latest obsession? LACTAID’s coffee creamers, which she credits for making her mornings feel like a party—even when she’s not drinking alcohol. ‘I didn’t start drinking coffee until I started touring in 2019,’ she told E! News. ‘My coffee in the morning is where I party.’ If you’re in NYC on February 12, you can join her at LACTAID’s Taste Buds Cafe (RSVP here: https://lactaidtastebudscafe.rsvpify.com/). But don’t expect her to ditch dairy entirely. ‘We live one life, so LACTAID has just been perfect,’ she says. ‘The fact that the creamer came out—I was like, ‘perfect.’
Now, let’s talk about her beauty must-haves, because this is where it gets personal. Hannah swears by Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Lip Cheat, a $28 lip liner that she says makes her feel ‘ready to perform’ no matter how tired she is. ‘Suddenly I’m respected, suddenly I look like I’m ready to perform,’ she jokes. This waterproof, smudge-proof liner is a game-changer for anyone looking to define their lips with a major color payoff. But here’s the controversial part: is a lip liner really worth the hype? Hannah thinks so, and she’s not alone.
Beyond makeup, Hannah’s skincare routine is just as thoughtful. She’s a fan of Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream, a fragrance-free moisturizer that soothes sensitive or dry skin. ‘I also love face masks,’ she adds, recommending BIODANCE Bio-Collagen & Hydro Cera-Nol Mask Duo and grace & stella Under Eye Patches. ‘I basically pretend I’m running a marathon where I have to look decent,’ she quips. And for those puffy eyes after a long flight? Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Hydra-Gel Eye Patches are her go-to.
But how does she manage it all while touring? ‘I try to be grateful,’ Hannah shares. ‘Every now and then I feel really overwhelmed, but I can’t believe this is my job—to perform, connect with women, and make them laugh.’ She also credits her ability to sleep on planes as a lifesaver, using the Kitsch Contour Pillow Eye Mask to block out light. And when it comes to travel essentials, her BÉIS Carry-On Roller is a must-have. ‘I chuck it everywhere, and it has survived me,’ she says.
Now, let’s circle back to those LACTAID creamers. Hannah loves mixing flavors like Sweet Cream, Caramel, and French Vanilla. ‘I’m not great with lactose, but I’m not quitting dairy,’ she admits. This raises a question: are lactose-friendly products the future of dairy enjoyment? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Lastly, Hannah gives a shoutout to her friend Paige DeSorbo, who introduced her to Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Liquid Contour Wand. ‘At first, it’s intimidating, but it really helps you snatch up your face,’ she says. Paige also got her into at-home hair removal with a laser device, because ‘I can’t shave every day, I’m busy.’
For Galentine’s Day, Hannah suggests self-care activities like spa days, face masks, and a good dinner. ‘Activities are really fun,’ she adds. So, what’s your take? Are lip liners and lactose-friendly creamers the ultimate life hacks, or is there something else you swear by? Let’s start a conversation!
