Chapped Lips are just the Worst! Keep your Carmex in Your Purse!

October 18, 2016 by Juliann

The memories are vivid. I can still feel the dampness of the fog as it settled all around me. I shivered while waiting for the bus in the dark. My knees trembled from cold, my lips getting severely chapped by the howling October wind. I despised school anyway, and mornings like this just made it worse. Licking my lips left them cracked and bleeding. The only thing that could make my morning better was tucked away in my purse: my trusty tube of Carmex® Lip Balm.

Of course, this unpleasant memory that is seared into my mind is of the two things I hated most in life, school and chapped lips.Thankfully, Carmex saved my lips and made them kissably soft in no time. (That was a very good thing because I liked to kiss boys a lot back then.)

Many moons later, I still trust Carmex to protect my lips. I keep a tube (or twelve) on my nightstand. I religiously apply it before bed. I keep a tube in my purse, in my makeup bag and in all of my coat pockets. You will never find me without my Carmex.

Guess what’s in my purse?

My favorite Carmex product is their new Carmex Comfort Care™ Lip Balm

Comfort Care is made from a natural blend of soothing colloidal oatmeal, fruit seed oil and delightful flavors that help restore moisture for smoother, healthier, naturally beautiful lips. It comes in watermelon, mixed berry, and sugarplum. These balms really hydrate my lips and the flavors are great.

I have always enjoyed the Classic Lip Balms as well. There is nothing quite as soothing as Carmex’s medicated, cooling formulas that work deep down to protect and heal dry, chapped lips. These classic balms come in tubes, jars and sticks. 

Another one of Carmex’s products that I cannot go without is their Fast-Acting Cold Sore Treatment. I make sure I always have it on hand for myself and my family because cold sores are nasty, painful and can happen any time, especially as the weather gets colder. It is very soothing and helps the sores to heal quickly.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
