Yes, touching greasy food and then touching your face causes acne.

Just be sure to wash your face after work and constantly wash your hands if you're worried 😊also be sure to avoid touching your face and keep your hair up

Yup, I worked at mac d in high school. I always had break outs then and I rarely ever do. But like they said cleanse and moisturizer before and or after..

Working in fast-food made me break out so bad. I was a cashier at Mr.hero's. part of the job was running the fryer. horrible. it got so bad I stashed face wash in the employee bathroom.

Yes!
All the oils, humidity and change of temperature in the air, can definitely affect your skin x:

I'm going to go with yes. Since most fast food places have a lot of oil in the air. I would die lol
I would recommend using an anti-pollution serum morning and night as well as a good face masque.

Maybe you could try taking some face wipes or even baby wipes (since there more gentle) and wipe your face on your breaks and after you finish. I know a few people who work at mc d and do that to avoid the grease building up on there skin.

Also, wearing make up with the working conditions may cause your own make up to clog up pores due to the humidity, oils etc. Maybe wear a light tinted moisturizer or bb cream?

:( thanks everyone, so I guess that's the culprit of my now acne! It stinks but it's the only job I can get and I really really enjoy my job, I use bb cream and I do dab my face with a paper towel everyone once in a whole at work and once I get home I wash my face...is that enough? I really don't want to continue breaking out!! :,((

I would also suggest carrying hand sanitizer!

Maybe try toning during breaks? It might help and take away the dirt on your skin. Unless you wear foundation then I don't know lol.
