Hi Everyone,
We're working on an article for the Jan/Feb issue of SWIMMER on the effects of chlorine on skin and how swimmers manage. Anybody got a lotion they swear by or another remedy for the itchy dryness that they want to share?
Thanks,
Your loyal USMS staff writer
I like all the Gold Bond lotions in the winter time.
The biggest havoc chlorine wreaks on me isn't my skin, it's the lining of my nose and sinuses. I've found that a saline squirt bottle rinse up the nostrils after every swim helps normalize my sinuses and even prevent dreaded sinus infections!
