I put lotion on every day after i shave. Thats basically it. I wash my face first before shaving.
So its
Wash face
Shave
Lotion
An alum block does wonders for my face after a shave. It's shave with red hot water > rinse with cold water > alum block, leave for 20 seconds > rinse with cold water > lotion. Takes away any razor burn, etc. I couldn't shave regularly without it. This is unrelated to working in a coal mine, though.
I just discovered what an alum block was thanks to this. This is very useful info
You're going to have to find products that work for you personally. My routine is pretty similar. I use Cerave facial cleanser and Cerave facial moisturiser. My electrologist is always gushing over the skin on my face, so I can't be doing that bad.
I don't have a whole lot of advice for coal mining itself, other than trying to keep a barrier between you and the filth. Less filth means losing less oil to washing, which will likely be your real problem.
Thats awesome. :D Thanks. :)
