Does anyone get unbelievably, overpoweringly itchy after swimming? It is so bad some nights that I literally can't get to sleep! It is worst where my skin is getting stretched or where it is touching the couch or bed or whatever, and it is pretty much restricted to my upper body... I at least rinse off after each workout, if not take a full on shower.. Anyone else get this, or have any solutions? Help! :confused:

  • Chlorine really dries your skin. I always use lotion after showering to moisturize! Very important. I think that will help with the itchy skin. I know somewhere on the boards everyone talked about their favorite post swim lotions. My favorite is Bath and Body works Black Raspberry Vanilla Body Cream, but that may be too girly for you. Swimmy :)
