6 Skin care tips for swimmers

Swimming is a great hobby, especially in summer as it helps you cool down while the mercury level rises, while helping you lose some weight. However like most of the good things in life, swimming has its downfalls, especially with your skin.

Some of the damage it can cause to your skin are skin tan, dry and damaged hair, chemical abuse on the sun and swimming under the sun. Moreover, the excessive chemicals in swimming pools dry and darkens the skin while drying up the body’s natural oils. It also troubles the eyes and can lead to fungal or bacterial infections.
