What else is carmex good for?
Question:
Answers:
It works amazingly well for helping cuts heal.
Also if you have a bad habit of picking on scabs (guilty) it can be used to keep the scab moist, discouraging picking on it and making it heal faster.
It seems to relieve pain from hangnails and, again, moisturizes it to help them heal.
Makes for one heck of a moisturizer for chapped hands & feet (doesn't smell that great, but I'd rather smell like carmex then have chapped skin) It works well for these areas if you use it before bed, then no one has to know about it.
And of course it's good for cold sores, since camphor oil is impossible to buy over the counter anymore, Carmex is about the only place to get that. Naturally there are the specialty creams that do work a bit better, but $15 for them compared to $1.79 for Carmex...I know what I'm buying.
It's also good for putting on fresh tattoos to keep moist. The camphor in carmex also relieves the irritation associated with a new tattoo.
I also put it on parts of my body thats dry, if I run out of lotion
You could use the empty container to hide stuff, like rings, drugs, and all other small things.
I once rubbed some on my butt and ran in the cold (for a dare), it gave a nice, cool feeling.
