This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carmex®. All opinions are 100% mine.The last time I used a Carmex product was five years ago, after having Kaitlyn, when the nurses in the hospital gave me Carmex lip balm. I had forgotten all about that until I was chosen by Carmex to participate in a review of their new products. As soon as I smelled the new Carmex Healing Lotion, I instantly remembered that lip balm!
New Carmex® Healing Lotion and Carmex® Healing Cream are the latest products from this family-owned and operated company. Alfred Woelbing invented Carmex lip balm in 1937, literally on his family’s stovetop. For 20 years, he and his wife made Carmex lip balm by hand, pouring it into the familiar yellow-topped jars! The company is now owned and operated by Alfred’s grandsons in Franklin, Wisconsin.
Now, Carmex introduces two new ways to keep your skin soft, with their new Healing Lotion and Healing Cream. I received full-size tubes of both for review, along with a travel size tube of the Healing Lotion. The Healing Lotion is designed for daily use, with aloe and vitamin E to nourish, moisturize, and protect your skin. It’s my favorite of the two because it absorbs quickly, makes my hands feel instantly softer, and has a light amount of the fragrance.
The Carmex Healing Cream is the one you want to get for heavy-duty moisturizing. It’s super-thick, concentrated so you only need to use a small amount, and has 9 healing ingredients that penetrate and help repair very dry skin. However, it has a REALLY strong smell. I use it on my feet at night but not on my hands because the smell is just too strong for me. I’ll tell you what though – it works. My heels and the bottoms of my big toes get insanely dry in the winter, and since I started using the Carmex Healing Cream at night, maybe a couple of times a week, I’m seeing a difference already.
Carmex asked what I thought of the packaging – it’s nice to have lotion that isn’t in a white tube for a change! I don’t know who decided that lotion needed to come in white tubes and bottles, but the pretty yellow Carmex tubes stand out on my shelf and make me more likely to reach for them!
Carmex Healing Lotion and Carmex Healing Cream are available for $5.99 at Walgreens, Walgreens.com, and drugstore.com. If you’re a fan of the lip balm, I recommend trying the lotion and cream too!
I broke out all over my legs and arms after using the Carmex Lotion.
I will have to give this product a try. I really do like their lip balm. It works great. I will have to try it in a small area of my hands, though, to make sure I don’t run into the problem that the previous poster had!
I hace very dry hands especially in winter, i could put up woth the smell as long as i had nice soft hnds. Good idea to put the cream on feet too, if you do this after a bath then put socks on it helps to absorb the cream into yur feet. Thanks
