Moisturizing and Nourishing Cream after Swimming Pool

Swimming is a beneficial way to get rid of some excessive pounds but it has a little disadvantage. Chlorinated water influences badly on skin, so body skin needs a special skincare to reduce the negative influence of chlorine.

How does chlorinated water influence on skin?

Water chlorination is a most common way to disinfect water in swimming pool, at least in Russia. As soon as warm water is a perfect media for bacteria and microbiota, it needs disinfection. Ionization and ozonizing are also used but they don’t give such a reliable result like chlorination.

Swimming in the pool causes skin dryness. During evaporating from the skin surface, water encourages transdermal water loss and chlorine boosts this process. Prolonged being in the water makes skin loose, water washes out skin lipid layer and make skin vulnerable to the infections. Skin loses moisture, dries and develops aging signs. Sense of tightness and itching can also occur.
