Do you love intense lipsticks in reds, berries, hot pinks?
So do I. But right now my lips are so chapped, the deep colors show every bit of dry skin.
I exfoliate as much as possible, but rubbing my lips raw isn’t going to help either. My lips are so dry I can’t moisturize them enough!
Fortunately, I can wrap my lips in comfort and in care with 100% Natural Comfort Care Colloidal Oatmeal Lip Balms by one of my favorite brands — Carmex!
Although I like all the regular Carmex brand products, this particular collection uses the soothing ingredient of natural colloidal oatmeal (plus cold-pressed fruit oil) to soothe and comfort my over-stressed, dry, chapped, irritated lips.
Oatmeal You Don’t Eat for Breakfast
Colloidal oatmeal isn’t a breakfast food although it’s good for your body. It’s a finely-ground oatmeal that coats the skin and is proven to soothe itchy and dry skin. If you ever had chicken pox, you might remember bathing in it to soothe the itch.
This type of colloidal is in lots of skincare products but it’s unique in lip care. Carmex Comfort Care Colloidal Oatmeal Lip Balms are ttherefore very special.
There are plenty of nice lip balms in swivel-up tubes, so why do I love these so much?
For starters, I have sensitive skin, and these are great for anyone whose skin is already chapped and irritated. But they are also available in three fun flavors: Mixed Berry, Sugar Plum, and Watermelon Blast (the smell great, but they don’t have a kiddie sugary taste). They’re also paraben and petrolatum free.
The clear balms leave your lips looking moist, but not super shiny (so the guys won’t feel silly using them). The silky feel is smooth and comforting like a soft blanket, thanks to beeswax, Cupuacu Butter and antioxidant rich, cold pressed cranberry seed oil.
These days it’s hard to get a bargain, let alone something great for under $2, but these are just $1.99. Carmex Comfort Care™ is available at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, Target and other retailers nationwide. For more information, please visit: www.mycarmex.com.
