Dry Skin & Swim Cap

Hi all, I've been a runner for a long time, and have recently taken up swimming as a cross-trainer. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would, but I have a couple of petty questions. The chlorine is really rough on my skin. I'm wondering if there are any product(s) out there that anyone could recommend, or should I just go with any moisterizer? 2) I have a basic swim cap (Speedo). It said one-size-fits-all, but I have very thick hair and I have a hard time getting all of my hair up under it. It also slides up when I'm swimming. Is there another brand or style that I might have better luck with, and where would I pick one up? Sorry if these questions seem trivial, but I don't know who else to ask. Thanks, Deb

    For the skin I like using Alpha Keri bath oil in the shower or I like using emulsified baby oil in the shower--not after. I used to get a serious case of the itchies but no more. There are some women use a lycra cap to contain the hair then put a latex or silicone over that.
