So, I spend most of my day hunched over a lab bench crafting dental prosthetics, and let’s just say my work environment isn’t exactly a runway. Between the dust, chemicals, and constant handwashing, I’ve noticed some weird style and grooming hiccups. For example, my hands are always dry, and no amount of lotion seems to last. Also, wearing masks all day makes my beard feel like a tangled mess by noon. And don’t get me started on how lab coats somehow make every outfit look frumpy. Anyone else in a hands-on job run into these kinds of issues? How do you balance practicality with looking put-together? Bonus points if you’ve found a way to keep facial hair in check while masking up! (Oh, and if you’ve ever spotted a UFO during a lunch break, I’m all ears for that story too.)
