I usually have pretty good skin, but lately it's been really red (mostly in my cheeks) and dry. I'm in the water a lot for swimming and my job. I use a facial lotion or Jergens everyday after I get out of the water, but it's still red and kinda dry.
Any suggestions of other lotions to try or ideas how to get the reddness to go away?
I have kind of sensitive skin also, so fragrence free would be nice. :)

I am in the water 20 hours a week (at a min.) and have found that a mild soap and Nivea do the trick for my skin (scales). From time to time, I will have an Aveda treatment. As for my hair (long fillaments) I use only Aveda products and a cap - all the time.
My son in another story. He is super senstitive! He has a Rx for Hydrocortizon. We avoid pools that use NaCl as a processor. NaCl is cheaper and is used by pools with higher temperatures that aren't exposed to direct sunlight.
Double check your pools' chemicals - sometimes an alergy is heightened with overexposure to certain chemicals.
