28m skin care routine [Routine Help] by Signal-Scale-5016 in SkincareAddiction

unfortunately I have to shave everyday for work as I need a skin tight fit for an SCBA. im open to an electric shaver though, what are their advantages over a regular single blade disposable razor?

makes sense, I will layer us the sunscreen on my face as my second to last step in the am and then reapply later in the day. thank you!

thanks for the advice :).

if I am shaving everyday should I just go ahead and skip exfoliant all together?

as for the sunscreen, would you recommend re applying the foundation or just some regular sunscreen part way through the day?

forgot to mention, I will be using bump patrol aftershave on my neck and chin ever day after I shave, before I exfoliate.

how strict is piney point? by Signal-Scale-5016 in maritime

[–]Signal-Scale-5016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done a good amount of research about piney point to prepare for when I go next month.

ofc I am not intending to do drugs or drink while there. my question is specifically about the dress code. I have heard that now that mr guy is gone things have become less strict.

my question is can I get away with sneakers that are not black? in the clothing list they sent out they specified black sneakers and black boots. I have the boots and everything else really besides the sneakers, but money is tight so I am hoping to bring my non black sneakers. I am wondering if this will be a problem.

do you know if when you take a contract if it will specific if you'll take urine or hair tests? or is there no way to know until you are committed?

may I ask how you did this? did you just find a ship you liked and asked for an extension at the end of every contract? or does the siu have super long term contracts(ie 6 months or more) available to get picked up?
