After swimming, germs are easy to remain on the skin, and swimming pools are often disinfected with chlorine-containing preparations, which is easy to irritate the skin. Therefore, it is best to take a bath with nourishing shower gel after swimming. Some people think that since chlorine preparation is acidic, swimming pool water is naturally acidic, so bathing with alkaline soap, thinking that this can neutralize acid and alkali to protect the skin, is actually not good for the skin. Generally speaking, the cuticle of the skin is more acid-resistant, but not alkali-resistant. Bathing with strong alkaline soap makes the skin dry easily. In addition, it should be noted that it is best to apply moisturizing cream after bathing.
Hair is easy to harbor germs after soaking. Chlorine preparation in the pool water will directly damage the dryness of hair, resulting in yellow and dry hair. Therefore, you must wash your hair carefully after swimming, and it is best to use conditioner to strengthen protection. Some people don't use shampoo after swimming, just rinse with hot water or simply dry their hair with a towel, which will leave germs. If the scalp is broken, the wound is easily contaminated.
It is best to wear goggles when diving to avoid the pool water containing pathogenic microorganisms from entering the eyes and causing conjunctivitis. In addition, the disinfectant in the pool water will also stimulate the conjunctiva. If you feel sore or uncomfortable after swimming, you can use chloramphenicol eye drops appropriately to prevent eye infection.
If you choose an outdoor swimming pool, you'd better go after 4 pm to avoid sunburn. It is recommended to use waterproof sunscreen with SPF above 30 to protect the skin. To ensure the effect, apply it every half hour to 1 hour.
