Carmex. It’s one of the best beauty products around and it wasn’t dreamed up in some expensive lab after years of research, it’s got no exotic hard to find ingredients,
Dc Shoes Hats, and there’s nothing French about it. Carmex was created in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and since 1937, it has been soothing the chapped lips of everyone who has to experience the indignity and unpleasantness of winter. If you’ve ever endured the 20-below-zero windchill of a Chicago winter,
baseball hats, you know what I’m talking about. It’s hell on the skin and especially the lips.
Oh,
nfl hats, it also claims on the site that Carmex is not addictive. I beg to differ.
Traditional Carmex comes in a little white pot with a yellow lid emblazoned with its red banner logo and the very un######y words “FOR COLD SORES.” Someone in the marketing department recently got wise and toned that down a bit,

But if you’re brave enough to dip your fingertip in and apply it to your mouth,
Basketball Jerseys, you’re in for a treat. A lot of relief and prevention comes in that little 0.25 oz. jar.
The Original Carmex Jar,
Sport Sunglasses, according to its website,
Wholesale Monster Energy Hats,
Who Shops at United Colors of Benetton Italians! – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, Style Advice, contains camphor to relieve pain,
NFL Jerseys, menthol to kill germs,
Wholesale Caps, and phenol to numb your sore lips and remove old, dead skin. It also contains waxes, paraffin, and lanolin. Salicylic acid is a surprise ingredient. My friend used to swear that Carmex cured breakouts, and maybe she was on to something. Salicylic acid is a mild exfoliator and an active ingredient in a lot of acne medications.
In addition to the iconic pot,

wholesale red bull hats! While I welcomed the addition of a cherry flavor and SPF 15 in recent years, I’m not going for the fancy tinted edition. I like my Carmex old school.
The company offers branded t-shirts,
dc hats, mugs, and, uh,
Ray Ban Sunglasses, skateboards (Yes,
“By alluding to the angelic figures set in stone, Carmex skateboards.) They also collaborated with Keds on a pair of slip-on sneakers decorated with “Carmex kisses.” But I think I’ll just stick to Carmex jars in every bag I own.
But subtlety is not in Carmex’s DNA. In addition to the stark packaging which announces that you might have cold sores,
wholesal new era hats, it also stinks to high heaven. I associate the scent with only good and comforting things,
Prada Sunglasses, but a newbie (or potential mate) may not. When you open the pot,
fendi sunglasses, you’re assaulted by a minty medicinal smell,
