Hello skincare friends! Do any of you swim regularly?
I’m wondering how to synchronize my twice-weekly swimming sessions with my skincare routine. Chlorine is quite drying and can cause breakouts.
I usually do: am: Wash with water-sunscreen pm: wash with cleanser, retinol, moisturise (5 times a week) wash with cleanser, bha, rinse, moisturise (other 2 days)
How would you coordinate this with swimming? No bha on the swim days to avoid drying out too much? No retinol either to avoid breakouts?
I have noticed that my skin has been feeling more tight pretty much every day since I’ve started swimming.
If anyone has additional advice on preventing ear infections in eczema filled ears (ie the skin in the outer ear canal has eczema) when swimming, let me know!
TIA!
This is what I do, more or less. Some barrier type cream on my face and hands before and after swimming, after I rinse in the shower. Then a proper shower and skincare routine once I get home. I’ll need to add body lotion.
