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 use Derma swim pro on my skin as a pre-swim lotion which works really well for me. I used to get itchy shins really badly to the point of a rash until I started using this. Plus I could always smell the chlorine off-gassing at night in bed, it was aweful!
I sometimes use a small amount of conditioner after wetting my hair which helps a lot. (I used to also have the straw hair issue as well as the 'green hair' issue! LOL)
:)
