Question:
Answers:
I think it is good for your skin. Well actually there are two wats abotu this. First it dries out your skin which means dries out pimples but right when your done swimming i think you should put moisterizer(SPP?)) on your face because then your face wont look really dry. Becuause i am a comppetiteve swimmer also and i wasnt swimming for a while and i started to get acne which i never had before! And then i started again and hte pimples dried right up and they were gone! So thats why i think its good for your face.
i think it helps it
Chlorine will eat you up.
No i think its fine.. or else it would be talked about on the news or w/e
It is bad for my skin. It makes me break out and now my skin is very dry. If you are going to go in chlorine a lot I would say that you should wash your face afterwards(with soap) and use a lotion or moisturizer. Also, if you don't do this already, use shampoo and conditioner that removes chlorine. Hope I helped &hearts
It all depends on your skin, because chlorine is diluted befor putting into a pool, its not that strong, i find that when i go in a pool my skin often dries out
I think it is like totally HORRIBLE for your skin..You see,I have the skin of a GODDESS and whenever i get outta my spa it just feels plain dry.But i bought some lotion to stop the drying of my skin.
LUV YA`LL LOTS,Shel
its a type of bleach.. well cleaner anyway..
as long as you have a shower after using the pool that helps get rid of it..
i don't think it helps or makes acne worse. things like diet etc have more impact.
Chlorine can dry out your skin and hair.
So if your skin is super oily it could be a good thing for your acne prone - more oily skin - however to much of it can dry you out to much so try to keep an even balance - make sure you condition your hair and use a moisturizing cream for your body and face after you do a regime -
you my get dry skin like me (year round competitive swimmer) but i just use dry skin lotion and it better., that;s the only thing and it helps kill the germs in your body. and good luck at your meets.
High levels of chlorine, can cause acne. I would suggest going to this site:

Yes and No. Don't worry about it if your not in it everyday but if you are then I would take a shower right after. Apply some lotion so your skin don't dry out.
Well I have heard the chlorine makes your skin softer and sometimes kills dead skin
Chlorine is bad for your skin but could help an acne sufferer. The best thing to do is shower right after leaving the pool with a good cleaning soap or body wash and then use a good mositurizer. Dont use a product with moisturizers afterwards or you may seal in the chlorine on your skin.
You may even want to try a cold shower first with a moisturizing bar or body wash to coat the skin and form a protective barrier on your skin. Soemthing by Lubriderm or Eucerin might be good to try if you fav brand doesnt hold up to the chlorine.
i hope this helps
