I remember my first real job, and how much grease was just “in the air” all the time there. You walked into the joint and you could smell the grease and feel it’s heaviness in the air, especially if you were working anywhere near the general vicinity of the fryer where the french fries, chicken tenders and potato patties and chicken patties were fried. I worked at a Burger King for my first job when I was sixteen years old and could drive. I remember at that time I was struggling and off with acne so bad that I couldn’t really figure out what do do about my skin. I had been to dermatologists, but my family didn’t have a lot of money so I couldn’t go back all the time if something didn’t work and just pretty much had to figure out what did work on my own. At that time, before the internet you didn’t have all the wonderful products and tips available to you that we do now, so it was tough to kind of just wade through it and figure it out on your own. I remember one of my reservations about getting a job at a place where there was grease hanging in the air is that it would aggravate my acne. And it did, especially when I was working long hours by the broiler where the meat comes out, or where there was alot of airborne grease, like in the “pit” where the fries were done and everything else that was deep fried. I tried to stay far away from them, but sometimes when you were the only show and working multiple stations, you had to work in that area and you had to work closely in that area with the grease. I often would come home smelling of grease, even if none of it actually touched me, which just goes to show that it does hang in the air. If I worked a day where I had to be in the pit with the fryers, then I knew I would at least get some sort of breakout on my face after that, so it definitely did affect my complexion to my dismay. My only advise if you work around grease is to try to wear a foundation that protects against it but that is also noncomedogenic on it’s own, that way the grease may not be able to penetrate and irritate your pores .
