Heal and Protect Dry Skin with Carmex: review and giveaway

Did you know that Carmex lip balm was invented in 1937?  It's true. Carmex lip balms are also the #1 Pharmacist recommended lip balms.  I think for a company to be around that long and still be relevant, they must be doing something right.

Within the last few years, Carmex has also added skin care products to their selection of products.  Makes sense doesn't it?  A company that makes lip balms to heal and protect lips also has products to heal and protect skin.

Even though it's mid-March, here in South Central PA, winter just does not want to give up. Our local news station says we're supposed to get a "squall" on Saturday that could bring 5 inches of snow possibly.  Yuck. Of all the reasons I'm tired of winter, one of them is because of what it does to my skin.  My skin gets so dry and itchy and starts to feel tight even.  Carmex Healing Lotion and Carmex Healing Cream help me with that problem.


Both products are non-greasy and have a light scent that puts me in mind of baby powder a little bit.  The Healing Lotion contains aloe and vitamin E. The Healing Cream has 9 healing ingredients for very dry and rough skin.  I've also been using it on my baby bump to help combat itchiness from the belly growing.  

Carmex also sent me a soft and warm Carmex zip up hoodie.  I thought this might be a good opportunity to give a bump picture too.


Here's "the bump" at 37 weeks and 2 days.  Hopefully not too much longer.  I can't wait to meet my baby girl.  Loving this hoodie right now too.  I'm constantly cold and at this point I just want to wear whatever is comfortable and this hoodie truly is.

You can find Carmex on twitter: @Carmex
