carmex makes lotion too! (review and giveaway)

about a month ago carmex sent me a package with two full size containers and two travel size tubes of their new lotion to try. i am usually pretty skeptical about certain lotions because many of them smell great but don't really do anything for my itchy dry skin that usually starts to irritate me this time of year. 

every fall and into the winter, my skin starts to get dry and itchy....winter dry skin and i hate it. i even hate to shave my legs because shaving seems to always make it worse. 

like i said, i was a little skeptical, but i am always willing to try something new.

i put it on my legs and feet after a shower and shaving. it smells great, just like carmex lip products actually, and has worked amazingly to keep my legs from feeling dry and itchy. and the dryness i usually get on my heels has not gone completely away, but i have seen a big improvement. 

i have been using it every day and love it. 

• has the classic, minty carmex scent that i love
• not greasy (i WILL NOT use greasy lotions, i can't stand the way they feel)
• soothes my itchy dry skin
