Summer days by the pool are a delight, but chlorine and sun exposure can be tough on your skin. At LV Plastic Surgery, we want to help you maintain healthy, glowing skin all summer long. Here are our top five tips for taking care of your skin after a pool day.
1. Rinse Off Immediately
As soon as you get out of the pool, it’s essential to rinse off. Chlorine and other pool chemicals can cling to your skin, causing dryness and irritation. Use lukewarm water to wash away these chemicals and soothe your skin.
2. Use a Gentle Cleanser
Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser to wash your skin. Avoid harsh soaps that can strip away your natural oils. Opt for cleansers with ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or oatmeal, which can help calm and moisturize your skin.
3. Rehydrate Your Skin
Chlorinated water can leave your skin feeling dry and tight. Replenish lost moisture by applying a rich, hydrating moisturizer right after you shower. Look for products containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and shea butter to provide deep hydration and restore your skin’s natural barrier.
4. Soothe Sun-Exposed Skin
If you’ve spent time in the sun, soothe and protect your skin from sun damage. Apply a cooling aloe vera gel or a moisturizer with anti-inflammatory properties to reduce redness and irritation. Avoid products with alcohol or fragrances, as these can further irritate sun-exposed skin.
5. Apply Sunscreen
Even after a pool day, protecting your skin from further sun exposure is crucial. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 before heading outdoors again. Reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.
