CARMEX® ~ A timeless classic product we all know and love !

You know they say, “Good things come in small packages!” Well I believe that CARMEX is a great example of that statement !! This is one of those articles that I really enjoy writing, not only because of the name recognition of CARMEX products, but the memories that it stirs up when you think of how many generations have used Carmex! My Mother, and “Nana” always had a little Jar of Carmex with them at all times:-). Cool weather or warm weather and anything in-between, I remember that Carmex jar! (By the way, that little Carmex jar is celebrating it’s 75th birthday this year…) That’s amazing!

CARMEX has maintained it’s high standard of quality throughout all those decades, but has also kept up with the times, and that’s what I’d like to share with you.

Let’s start with their skin care. This is a newer item and includes CARMEX Healing Lotion and Healing Cream.

These are the convenient tubes (shown above). They have a Healing Lotion formula which is a lighter weight product with aloe and vitamin E that will not only heal your skin but help with dryness. There is also a Healing Cream that is richer and helps extremely dry skin, and those rough and cracked areas. You can use it anywhere on your body.

The newest 13 oz. size in the Healing Lotion is shown below.

The convenient tubes can go anywhere with you and the pump container is perfect for your vanity.

As a makeup artist who over the years has really cleaned my hands a lot, I’ve personally found that the Healing Cream is a perfect solution for me. It actually helps with healing the dry skin on my hands and smoothing the roughness. I really appreciate the nine healing and moisturizing ingredients that don’t just cover your skin, but heals and softens it as well.

I have tubes of both the Healing Cream and Healing Lotion in my professional case, and they are used all the time when I am on location. I even got the host of the national PBS series where I do the key makeup artistry, the Healing Cream as a holiday gift this past year.

You can’t beat the price of the product, and the results are priceless!

The Healing Lotion comes in a:
13oz.pump size for a suggested retail price of $10.99
5.5oz.tube for a suggested retail price of $5.99
