my skin is a horror - 01/31/07 07:42 PM
I work outside as a groundskeeper--8 hours a day every day. It's winter in Russia.
My skin is cracked and almost blistered. I have salt dust blowing in my face all the time from the using salt we put on the pavement. It's been 10 degrees with a brutal north wind blowing. My face actually hurts from the salt and the cold and the wind. It gets hard and dry and literally cracks. I don't need this.
I've got enough lotion on my face right now that I nearly slide out of bed at night but by noon tomorrow it will be like parchment paper again.
Anybody have any brilliant suggestions? I have creams and lotions and vitamin oils but after the first few hours of work in the morning I'm burned. I'm gonna look like a 100 year old Kansas farmer pretty soon.
Coat myself in vasoline? (can't get it here)
