Chlorine & the Skin: Unique Challenges Faced by Swimmers

The Skin – More Than Just a Covering

Your skin is essential for your overall health, covering about 2 square metres in adults. It's a dynamic organ that serves as a protective barrier against harmful microbes and elements, regulates body temperature, allows sensations of touch, heat, and cold, and synthesizes Vitamin D.

Challenges for Swimmers

When swimming, your skin is exposed to chlorine and other pool chemicals. These substances are necessary for maintaining clean pools but can be harsh on your skin. Chlorine, for instance, strips your skin of its natural oils, causing dryness, itching, and sometimes even rashes.

Let’s Look at the Facts

Studies indicate that regular exposure to chlorinated water can disrupt the skin's natural balance. It can remove the protective lipid layer, leading to dehydration and reducing the skin's ability to retain moisture.
