 Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Carmex has been a staple in my household for years and years, and tubes and pots of it can be found stowed all over the house, in purses, work-bags, pockets, cars and work. I even have a few left from back when the pots were made of glass!

Carmex remains a family favorite because it is so soothing and effective, and eradicates chapped lips swiftly. While Carmex has expanded their offerings– they have maintained their same excellent quality at an affordable price point. If you want to keep your lips soft, supple and moisturized during this holiday season, then it's worth picking up a few Carmex Lip Balms.
