Now that summer time is fast approaching, almost everyone wants to take a dip either in a pool or the beach. However, when we stay too long in swimming pools, skin problems also come about.

Chlorine is important in keeping the water safe and hygienic for everyone to swim in. It fights human sweat, washed body dirt into the pool, pee, and even human feces left unnoticeably in the waters. Without chlorine, you will be left swimming in a pool full of bacteria and fungus. It also helps in eliminating the bacteria build up in the water. However, it contributes potential damage to your skin.

Chlorine can strip and damage skin layers since it is acrid and can cause your skin to age faster. Due to constant exposure to chlorinated swimming pools, there are even situations like developing skin rashes.

Having these said, what would be the best things to do in case you are to swim in a chlorinated swimming pool without ruining the summer time fun? It is better to avoid public swimming pools that use chlorine if you have planned your summer with a swimming pool party. You can choose a rock pool or the beach instead.

Sea salt provides many beneficial effects to your skin like killing bacteria compared to the unbearable drying effect from chlorinated swimming pool. Also, if you have a private pool, you can also use salt to keep your pool bacteria free. Add 2-3 bags once every 1-2 months in your pool and you can leave the work against bacteria to the salt. However, if you have planned the swimming party already in a public swimming pool, you can reduce or limit the time your stay in the pool and quickly shower off the chlorine with cold water. Never use hot water. After that, use a good cream or lotion to bring back the body’s hydration and replenish any skin moisture taken away by chlorine.
