An absorbent article includes an outer cover member, a liner, and an absorbent body structure disposed between the cover member and the liner. A first matrix of discrete deposits of a skin wellness lotion formulation are applied relative to the body facing surface of the liner so as to contact the wearer's skin. The lotion formulation deposits have a phase-change temperature less than body temperature. A second matrix of discrete deposits of a phase-change liquid are applied to the body facing surface of the liner interspaced with the lotion deposits. These phase-change liquid deposits have a phase-change temperature greater than body temperature. The phase-change lotion deposits have a height above the body facing surface greater than the height of the phase-change liquid deposits.
