Managing Facial Hair in Strict Hygiene Environments

[Leo]

I've been thinking a lot about the balance between personal expression and workplace hygiene standards, especially considering my position in healthcare where the expectations are quite strict. I cherish my beard, yet the hassle of donning and doffing protective gear like beard nets, masks, and other items is significant. It not only impacts my comfort but also the health of my skin due to the constant contact with various chemicals. For those of you in similar situations, how do you manage your facial hair while adhering to rigorous hygiene protocols? Do you have any tips for maintaining skin health under these conditions? I'm curious to hear your experiences and strategies.

I can relate. Beard maintenance gear can be a hassle.
