I swim about 3 times a week in an indoor pool. I always take a shower immediately after to rinse off the chlorine.

No !!! As the amount of Chlorine in water ( 1.5 ) is not enough to make any difference at your skin . But yes its always good to take a shower, and if its sunny day its good to go outside and let your body feel the sun , as it cleans chlorine better than shower !!!

Karista:
Yes! pending on the concentration of chlorine it could very well have an effect on ones skin. If it is your own pool that you are speaking about then of course you can control the amount usually in parts per million (PPM) that is used to control and or minimize bacterial growth. However; if it is a public pool you are speaking about then yes a good shower followed-up with skin care products would be very helpful to control dryness of the skin. Public pools typically elevate their usage of chlorine for the reasons I have mentioned and for public safety.
Happy swimming

As long as the Pool is monitored for the PPH levels routinely (Usually every hour)) and depending how busy the pool is, it may be checked additional times. After your swim, rinse in the shower and use a mild soap with aloe. You will be O.K.

no longer something is "everlasting" because your hair grows and pores and skin sheds off. I have a feeling your difficulty is brought about more suitable through undesirable pH and alkalinity interior the water truly than chlorine. to assist strive against this project (except adjusting your water stability) use a good moisturizing lotion once you go away the water, previously you're totally dry to assist capture interior the moisture. also, have your hair in many cases trimmed and do weekly (or more suitable) homestead warm oil remedies. maximum are really decrease priced and really person-friendly to apply. good success!!

It will dry your skin out. The shower helps, also rinse out your swimming cloths in cold water afterward.

i think chlorine drys out your skin a little but, but it only makes your skin itchy kind of, but the itch goes away after a shower or two.

It dries your skin. If you shower afterward and maybe use a little lotion you will be fine.
