Swimming Pool

Swimming pool water, abundant in chlorine to prevent the growth of microorganisms, can disrupt the skin barrier, causing dryness, irritation, or redness. This chemical treatment also alters the skin's pH, making it more vulnerable to external aggressors. It is crucial to rinse your skin and hair after swimming and use hydrating care to limit these effects.
