Not only the sun, but the disinfecting chlorine and salt water in the swimming pool will make the skin rough and dark. Skin care after swimming effectively helps dispel the worry of sunburn or darkening of the skin. One of those methods is to take a warm bath after swimming.1. Why does the skin catch the sun and get dry easily after swimming?
Water in swimming pools is filled with chlorine which is a widely used and frequently used chemical to treat pool water. Chlorine helps kill germs, bacteria, prevents algae growth thanks to its ability to disinfect, bringing a clear blue color to the pool water.
However, this chemical can also make the skin dry due to its consequences. Chlorine inherently causes dryness of the skin and that is why some people find their skin itchy and red. Many people also see the skin is visibly darker, even down to a few skin tones, clearly seeing the difference between the bare skin and the skin with a swimsuit after swimming.
However, if the skin is properly cared for, this worry will be eliminated. In particular, bathing with warm water right after swimming is also an extremely effective measure.

2. Take a warm bath to protect your skin
After swimming, should take a warm or cold shower is something that many people care about. However, after swimming, the body temperature drops, so pay attention to keep warm and replenish water in time. Therefore, in fact, to ensure the complete removal of chemicals such as chlorine in swimming pool water, while avoiding dry skin and moisture imbalance, it is advisable to take a warm bath first and then use cold water.One of the most important things to do right after swimming is to take a warm shower. This will help open up the pores and clean the skin completely. Warm water helps to kill bacteria, dirt and impurities, which is very good for cleansing the body. Moreover, warm water will help relax sore muscles, improve blood circulation, especially after muscles get tired after swimming. At the same time improve the flexibility of the muscles, stimulate the body to be supple.
Then, shower again with cold water to close the pores, firm the cuticle, prevent moisture loss and reduce the amount of dirt accumulated again. This will make your skin smoother. A mild soap or body wash to balance the pH is recommended for your skin. Dechlorinated shower gel can be used to completely remove the chemical smell on the skin and clean hair.
Another note is that we should shower immediately after swimming. If you have just finished swimming and are tired, you can rest for about 10-15 minutes before taking a shower. If you wait until you get home to take a shower, the chemicals will have time to penetrate and harm the skin.
This way will minimize the risk of harmful effects of swimming pool water with your skin. Sunburned skin, tanned skin is no longer a worry when swimming.
