Heya...
It's great that you have taken to swimming 🥽
It's a great isometric exercise.
Is your pool Ozone or Chlorine treated?
If it's the latter, ensure you bathe 🚿 well BEFORE (very important) and After a swim.
It's important to use 🧼🫧 before a swim...suggest Dove 🕊️ as it's a simple easy brand available internationally and is a cleanser. Any alternative cleanser works... Avoid soaps 🧼 as you have a dry skin and they aggravate this as opposed to cleansers.
Sunscreen: simple zinc oxide cream works best as a blocking agent.
Moisturize well and immediately after bath.. use coconut 🥥 oil or any moisturizer that works for your skin.

Swimming pools often contain chlorine, which can worsen dryness and tanning, especially in people who already have dry skin. With the right moisturizer, sunscreen, and gentle cleanser, you can protect your skin while continuing swimming.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Take a quick shower immediately after swimming to remove chlorine from the skin.
• Apply moisturizer within 3–5 minutes after bathing to lock in hydration.
• Wearing protective swimwear and consistent sunscreen use will help minimize tanning.
If dryness or tanning becomes significant, you may consider taking an online consultation with me for a personalized skincare routine.
