When you think of the Carmex brand, more than likely, you think of lip products and that little round jar.  I know I do.  As part of the Carmex Blog Squad, I get to be one of the first to try new products.  Did you know that Carmex lip balms have been around for over 70 years?  The most recent addition to the Carmex line includes skin care products.  At first I thought “Carmex and skin care?  That doesn’t really go together well.”  My mind was quickly changed the first time I applied the Healing Lotion.

You know how sometimes you apply lotion and then you can’t turn the door knob to leave the room because your hands are so greasy?  Okay, tell me that doesn’t just happen to me.  Well, that didn’t happen with this lotion.  I applied it and seriously, within seconds, it was soaked in.  My skin felt soft, but not sticky or greasy.  You know how when you put lotion on, then you put your clothing on and they cling to you because of the lotion?  Yep, that didn’t happen with this either.  Awesomesauce, I say!

I put Carmex Healing Lotion at night and when I crawled into bed, my husband said “You smell like Carmex.”  So, it definitely does have that same Carmex scent, but it’s very light and he said it didn’t bother him.
