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.
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.
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
