When I swim for a hour or more, my face starts to burn about 10-15 min after I get out and keeps burning for about an half hour. It feels hot to the touch, like a moderate sunburn. The rest of my skin gets a bit red but my face down right hurts. I tried face wash which didn't help and lotion which made it worse. Anyone else have this problem? Ideas to fix it?
thanks
I have THE most sensitive skin so I feel your pain!
We swim outdoors so I know the difference between a sunburn and a chemical burn.
Our pool has a lot of chlorine. I find that if I wash my face right after swimming (usually with Dove) and then put Vitamin D cream (only Vitamin D) on it, I don't have that burning from the chemicals. The D cream is kind of thick and greasy, so I don't put a lot, but it soaks into my skin really well.
I also have noticed that the burning is not as bad (sun or chemical) if I put sunscreen on first.
Hope this helps.
