You’re Not Just Swimming in Chlorine—You’re Absorbing It.

Recent reports claim the body absorbs up to 64% of pool chlorine through the skin, with children absorbing as much as 88%. This exposure can lead to skin irritation, dryness, and potential long-term effects like thyroid issues.

To mitigate these risks, consider switching to saltwater pools, which are gentler on the skin. Additionally, applying a vitamin C cream before and after swimming can help neutralize chlorine on the skin, reducing its harmful effects. Vitamin C acts as a natural dechlorinator, helping to protect and restore your skin’s health.
