Moisteriser – for swimmers

I have noticed that when I get out of the pool my skin (cheeks especially) are so dry. Id love to hear some recommendations for something to keep the moisture in my skin this summer 🙂
Thanks

    I’ve reported the previous post by Fitbeauty as spam. They’ve spammed the forums on many threads. Their username is the company name.

    I’ve heard of the shower before swim but never knew why!

    I don’t swim, but I find that Argan oil and Rosehip oil are really great for dry skin! I would try these in conjunction with a good moisturiser.

    I used to swim 3x a week as a workout. Apart from just any moisturiser before and after swimming (I did that for my hair as well) I was always told that your skin/hair “pick up” the first water that touches it.

    I.e. if you’re about to go into a chlorine pool, get your hair really wet with clean water first so your hair doesn’t absorb the chlorine water. That’s always worked for me, for both hair and skin. So I always showered right before getting into the pool.

      I haven`t heard that before, that`s really interesting. I rarely come in contact with chlorine anymore but that`s something I will definitely keep in mind for future reference, thankyou.

    Have you thought about using an oil instead of a moisturiser before you go swimming? It might be more resistant

      I use an oil and I can usually feel it still on my skin after a swim. I feel that it really protects my skin from the water, my skin doesn’t feel dry at all afterwards.
