Now how on earth can I justify talking about lip stuff on a yoga blog? Excellent question. Lesse - it’s February, Carmex makes me happy when it’s -15 (that’s celsius kids), and hey, yogis need soft kissable lips too. Besides I’m an expert on this, I’m Canadian. Here’s the scoop.

Lots of products like Kiehls are fine for summer. But if you’re in need of a more medicated experience to keep those lips in line, Carmex is a pot of gold. If you’re in Canada you can find it at Shoppers.

Carmix is just medicated enough, compared to say, the Blistex one which may cause second degree burns with its effective ingredients. But it’s also got just the right creaminess - not too thin, and not too thick. Ever noticed how the cheapie drugstore lip balms are like rubbing a candle on your kisser?

Once you’re rubbing your lips together in glee, check out the urban myth about Carmex. Let’s face it, a product hasn’t really made it until it’s been accused of being full of deadly ingredients and listed on Snopes. Oh, one more piece of advice, the squeezey version of Carmex is not squeezable when it’s been left in the car overnight in the winter.

Hey, let’s stay kissable out there yogis.
