5 Skin Care Tips: The Swimmer Version<\/strong><\/p>\n

Picture this.\u00a0 It\u2019s mid-winter, you\u2019re walking off the pool deck and into the locker room to change.\u00a0 As you make your way to your bag, you pass a mirror and – gasp!\u00a0 You can\u2019t even recognize yourself with all that dry skin you see.\u00a0 And what is all that red itchiness? Gross.\u00a0 Sound too familiar?\u00a0 That\u2019s because if you\u2019re a swimmer, you have put your skin through years of damage without even realizing it.\u00a0 <\/span>Chlorine<\/span> strips away the natural oils in <\/span>our <\/span>skin and leads to dryness, itchiness, <\/span>acne<\/span> outbreaks, and even sun damage due to the fact our skin is just not as healthy.\u00a0 Good thing there are some ways to combat all of this.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a headstart on how to do just that\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

SPF-SPF-SPF<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Two words.\u00a0 Premature aging.\u00a0 I bet you didn\u2019t know swimmers have a higher risk at that just from the dryness and protein damage we undergo.\u00a0 Applying a little SPF or pre-swimming lotion every morning or before swimming will go such a long way.\u00a0 It creates a protective layer for your skin and will block chlorine as well as allowing your skin to maintain a decent amount of moisture.\u00a0 This is more important than you would think because without a consistent <\/span>skin care routine, chlorine can settle into your skin. For swimmers, this can also be the cause for rashes, acne, and premature aging.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shower ASAP<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No time to waste here.\u00a0 When keeping your skin\u2019s best interest in mind, it is important to try and shower or rinse off as soon as you can after swimming.\u00a0 Also, if you\u2019re thinking about taking a steaming, hot shower, maybe think again.\u00a0 As tempting as the hot shower sounds (who doesn\u2019t love a hot shower), warm water will open up your pores just fine without harming your skin.\u00a0 When finishing up, if you turn the water to a colder temperature, you will tighten up your pores again, allowing the moisture to stay in.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Better Care of your Swimwear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Chlorine is more damaging on swimwear fabrics than fresh water and salt water is.\u00a0 Obviously it can leave bright colors looking faded over time, but it also is not healthy for your skin to be wearing the same, chlorine-filled suit each day without wash.\u00a0 If you really want to take good care of your suits and skin by going that extra mile, adding a few tablespoons of vinegar to your wash helps in neutralizing chlorine and preventing discoloration.\u00a0 Also, the whiff of chlorine people smell when you walk by them may be a little less noticeable by doing this, which is always a perk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Herbal Tea<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You may be skeptical about this one, but it has been proven to work, and just makes sense<\/span>.\u00a0 Any herbal teas that have a rich antioxidant content will benefit you and your skin. It helps in relieving the stress of oxidative damage your skin undergoes and gives you antioxidants in return.\u00a0 The antioxidants neutralize free radicals that harm your skin.\u00a0 In case you were waiting around for my opinion, green tea never disappoints.\u00a0 However, red fruit herbal tea and matcha tea are both good options, being high in antioxidants and filled with other benefits as well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hydration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can lather on all the lotion in the world but that won\u2019t mean that your skin is hydrated from the inside.\u00a0 As swimmers, if we do not hydrate enough, our skin will absorb the pool water each day from the lack of moisture in our skin.\u00a0 Aside from the fact that being hydrated <\/span>regulates body temperature, keeps your joints lubricated, prevents infections, improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood, it is the best thing you can do for your skin and overall well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n
