working out after a morning shave...any problems with this?

[mascarasnake21]

Every morning I wash my face with some random Clean and Clear wash that doesn't cost too much and does a good job (I only exfoliate weekly now since I'll break out like a mother if I do it more than that). I then shave and shower.

Started going to community college a week or so ago, and I work out before class. I'm assuming the answer's no, but would working out an hour after having washed my face reverse the whole process I did that morning?

I don't think you'll have any problems. I run the obstacle course on base three days a week and I always shave before I go (gotta love the military). Afterward, I shower (again) and put on some unscented ASB and have zero problems.

YMMV, but if my skin can stand up to sand and sweat I think you'll be fine.

That's definately a relief...it's a pain lugging around an extra ditty bag.

I am going to say yes if you do not wash your face again. You do not want to have sweat, body oils and dust in your face all day.

okay I can help but first, what is this "work out" thing you are talking about?

:lol: Nice.

After working out, give your face a quick cold water rinse at the sink to get rid of that sweat and oil. You should be fine. I wouldn't wash your face with soap more than once a day, it can cause your skin to dry out and produce excess oil. Many gentlemen here don't use soap on their faces at all--check out the oil cleansing method (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=26493).

Could mineral oil possibly work instead of castor, or is that a no?

[RoyalKooparillo]

Hmmm, from my understanding, the castor oil acts as the cleansing agent for your skin...so I'm not sure it can be substituted like the vegetable oils can. I could be wrong, though. If you post your question in the oil cleansing thread, I'm sure someone with better knowledge can give you a more definitive answer.

It's like when there's a problem with your piza delivery, but then the problem gets solved anyhow.

"Oh man, my zaa order is late ... I think the dude got lost."

"Don't worry, dude, it'll work out."

(ding dong!)

"Whooah!!"
