The Skincare Essential for Field Service Workers (and Why Every Postal Carrier Deserves Bedrock Balm)
If your job keeps you outside—delivering packages, fixing power lines, driving routes, or walking miles a day—your skin works just as hard as you do. Wind, cold, sweat, and constant hand washing can leave your skin dry, red, and irritated. This guide shares the best skincare essentials for field service workers, plus how one postal carrier found serious results with Bedrock Balm.
From Our Founder: A Bedrock Thank You to the Hardworking Hands That Deliver
Sending you Bedrock packages is important—because we know your skin has a situation and we need to get that rescue out ASAP. I always make a point to meet my postal workers because they get your orders out quickly and reliably.
Right now, I’m working with Zach. He’s the guy who makes sure every Bedrock order gets on the truck and out the door. Of course, as a thank-you for hauling my packages, I gift all of my mail carriers Bedrock products.
Zach told me yesterday that even though he wears gloves all day, by evening his fingers are red, tender, and stressed. He uses Bedrock Balm at night to restore balance, calm redness, and soothe cracks—and it works.
If you’re out in the elements every day—whether you’re a postal carrier, delivery driver, lineman, or landscaper—here’s your quick field guide to protecting your skin on and off the job.
Top Skincare Essentials for Field Service Workers
1. Bedrock Balm | Zinc-Based Barrier Balm
Zinc oxide isn’t just for sunscreen—it’s a powerhouse ingredient that protects against moisture loss, chafing, and redness. Our Bedrock Balm uses zinc oxide plus plant oils to calm stressed skin and lock in hydration without greasiness.
2. Lightweight Protective Cream for Hands
Hands take the brunt of cold air and constant glove use. Bedrock Balm has jojoba and meadowfoam oil, which soften tough spots and smooth rough cuticles without leaving residue.
3. Nighttime Rejuvenation Routine
After long days in wind or dry air, your skin needs replenishment. Apply Bedrock Balm before bed to reduce redness, soothe irritation, and support your skin barrier overnight.
Real-World Skincare Tips from the Field
-
Keep Bedrock Balm in your truck or locker. Portable packaging means quick reapplication when hands start to sting.
-
Use Bedrock Balm before gloves. A thin layer of zinc balm prevents friction and sweat irritation inside work gloves.
-
Don’t skip lips and nose. Those spots get raw fast in cold or dry weather—dab a little Balm there too.
Field service workers deserve skincare that works as hard as they do. Whether you’re delivering mail, repairing lines, or keeping the world running in every kind of weather—Bedrock Balm is your go-to for restoring calm, comfort, and balance.
