Posted: 02/26/03 - 11:14 Post subject: Chlorine
I know we have a pool contingent in here. I've been in the pool quite a bit this winter with my kids and also added some hot-tub time to my off day routine. Even with a major soapy shower, I still have chlorine smelling skin for the next 24hrs. I also end up using a lot of lotion to keep from having to scratch my back on doorways like a bear does against trees in the forest. Anyway, how do you all combat that wonderful pool additive, chlorine??

Ultraswim does have shower gel but it is hard to find. Maybe try using some other manly scented stuff....I find plain soap doesn't really get out the smell. But I know you're a blondie so definitely get the shampoo and conditioner, or Nexxus Aloe Rid, which I don't think dries your hair out as much......to keep from getting that greeny undertone to those blonde locks.
Bob is right too, I'm not sure why, but showering before you get into the pool seems to help a little bit. You definitely need something lotion wise though, there's no getting around the drying effect, 'specially in the winter. Baby oil works well if you don't want to smell girly.
