Just wondered if anyone suffers from chapped, dry skin after being out in the elements on reserves and places. Do you gents protect your skin, like us girls? (YES even males need to look after their skin!!!)
I suppose I'll get a manly, 'No I'm tough!'

Doesn't really effect me Julie as I work in a hot dusty environment and use plenty of hand care cream every day provided by the company. Even been known to use it on my face when it's really hot in summer. (Well the bits that the beard don't cover anyway)

Jonny | Mmm. Well Jonny, YOUR friend probably would do well to use something old fashioned like, vaseline hand cream or Nivea. You can't do better. Both have a nice clean smell. Not flowery at all. 
It is just as important for chaps not to get chapped!

No I don't bother about my face (perhaps I should, and have a complexion like Neil Warnock  ) but always use the simplest hand creams. Certainly nothing flashy or expensive because they're no better than basic hand cream and often cause allergies: this includes lanolin creams and E45 'dermatological' creams on sensitive people. Just the simplest BP formulation is adequate .... Quote:

Usually use a chap stick what ever the weather on my lips and during the summer plenty of sun block. I normally require something to put on all the nettle stings after any surveys as well.
BWD ard as nails, not!

Any good oil, I use sweet almond, rubbed into the skin liberally before you shower is a very good way of keeping skin protected, and no 'tell-tale' pots of 'girly' cream in the bathroom!
I did say Before!

I used to suffer but dont anymore as I always have a stick in every long coat. They are probably all 10 years old and just live in the bottom of my pocket, hibernating in the summer months. |

I occasionally use gojo hand medic - an antiseptic skin treatment that clears up almost any dermitalogical issues that I may have

Not chapped lips so much but the skin on my nose gets very dry and ocasionally flaky as a result of exposure to wind and sun - exacerbated by chainsaw fumes and dust - to combat this i use bodyshop hemp based moisuriser which is brilliant
the only problem is that being hemp based it can gain you undue attention from the police/sniffer dogs who think they are smelling funny substances
