Actually salt water is one of the best things for your skin! I don't know what beach you have been swimming in, but certain waters are contaminated. Virginia Beach, for instance, is HIGHLY toxic. NAS Oceana is one of the largest air stations in the world, 6820 acres, and sprawls over Virginia Beach dumping their toxins into the ocean.
But, if you are swimming in cleaner waters you are just fine. Certain minerals and plants that are only found in salt water are seriously some of the best things for you skin, including healing cuts, scrapes, rough or dry skin.
Now about counting a dip in the ocean as a cleanliness routine?? I'd stick with Dial, but that's just me!

it depends.
showers include some kind of tangible soap. so if you're using soap, I suppose that would count. though you'd still get the salt and bacteria from the water on your skin....
"but i smell better"
on the other hand, it's better than nothing.

it only counts if you swim more than 20 minutes, or if your home water is most browner than the oceans

I think it does....salt is a disinfectant...water gets dust and dirt and stuff off...and all the coral reef fish i have ever seen look pretty darn clean....so, yeah...what the heck.
