How to Heal Chlorine-Damaged Skin Naturally: A Guide for Swimmers with Sensitive Skin

If you swim regularly, you’ve probably noticed it — dry, irritated, or tight skin after every session.

That’s chlorine damage. Whether you’re a casual swimmer or a professional in the water daily, chlorine exposure can lead to long-term skin issues — especially if you have sensitive skin.

As a swim instructor, I experienced this firsthand. That’s why I created Day & Leaf: nature-powered skincare that’s gentle, effective, and specifically made for skin exposed to harsh environments.

What Chlorine Does to Your Skin (And Why It’s a Problem)

Chlorine is a disinfectant, but it’s also a harsh chemical. Here’s how it affects your skin:

• Strips natural oils: Leaving your skin dry and tight

• Disrupts the skin’s pH balance: Making it prone to sensitivity and breakouts

• Weakens the skin barrier: Leading to flakiness, itchiness, or even eczema

If you’re dealing with chlorine-damaged skin, your skincare routine matters more than ever.
