Chlorine and Skin Problems

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 usually have pretty good skin, but lately it's been really red (mostly in my cheeks) and dry.... Any suggestions of other lotions to try or ideas how to get the reddness to go away? .... I'm not sure this will help, but you may want to give it a try: AIM Cell Wellness Restorer (CWR) The company product page is here: www.theaimcompanies.com/product-family.aspx If they have any extensive product info there I can't find it, but this page has some more about it: geocities.com/.../index.html The above page includes the following link to a PDF file that is a pretty extensive data sheet, which includes what the product is made of. While it is not a new file, I’m fairly certain all the info still applies. geocities.com/.../AIM-CWR-2003.pdf I've used AIM CWR very successfully for treating a rather severe case of Psoriasis. In fact I’d have to say it has been a miracle cure compared to all the other treatments I’ve tried at home (including prescription drugs). (Regular seawater baths are best, but I’m landlocked.) When I moved from the “jungles” of SE Louisiana to the more arid clime of central TX in mid winter I suddenly had a major problem with dry skin. At the suggestion of a helpful store clerk I tried “Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment”, which is “100% Natural Colloidal Oatmeal”. Oatmeal! Who’d a thunk it? But I found that it really works great! And I only need to use it as needed, not constantly. I’m guessing the following two products will work on any dry skin. I had problems with dry hands in winter when I was living in rural TN doing construction in my bulletproof 20-something years. I made the mistake of working with concrete with my bare hands one day and the dry cracking and bleeding got way out of control. A local pharmacist recommended pure lanolin. There are two types: hydrous & anhydrous, and I can never remember which I used, but I believe it was this product: “Fougera Lanolin Hydrous Topical Lubricant”. I’m sure that Fougera was the manufacturer/distributor, and this stuff brought instant relief and really worked wonders for the healing process. I used it primarily in winter, and always kept it in my shirt pocket (under my jacket) to keep it warm and soft, which made it much easier to apply. Near as I can tell this is a pure, natural product. I’ve also used “Corn Huskers” “Heavy Duty Oil-Free Hand Treatment Lotion” for sunburned and dry skin relief, especially dry hands. While this stuff works great, the ingredients include a lot of things I can’t pronounce so I’ve only used it when it was all I could get. I stumbled onto it while living on an equatorial island in the middle of nowhere courtesy of Uncle Sammy. HTH
