A bearded dragon licking you is often a form of communication and exploration. Here's what it can mean:
Sensory Exploration: Bearded dragons use their tongues to "taste" their environment. Licking allows them to gather information about the world around them, including you. They have vomeronasal organ which allows them to detect scents and pheromones.
Checking You Out: They might be trying to figure out if you are a potential food source (though they are unlikely to try and eat you). It could also be a way for them to identify you.
Affection or Bonding (Possibly): While not necessarily the same as affection in mammals, licking could be a sign that your bearded dragon is comfortable around you and trusts you. More research is needed on this.
Salt/Mineral Intake: Your skin contains salts and minerals, and the dragon might be licking you to supplement its diet. This is especially possible if you have been sweating or have applied lotion.
Curiosity: It could simply be an act of curiosity. They are inquisitive creatures, and licking is a way to explore their surroundings.
Environmental Factors: Certain smells or lotions on your skin might be appealing or intriguing to the dragon, prompting it to lick.
