Should we ALWAYS take a shower and wash our hair after swimming in a chlorine pool?

Question

we went swimming last night and there were so many people at my house I was too tired to shower and wash my hair..what will happen to my skin? or can we sometimes "get away with" not showering after

Answer 1

absolutely yes. chloriine is a active element and letting it dry to your skin might get your skin some skin problems.

Answer 2

try to make it a habit to at least rinse your face and hair, also rinse your bathing suit too ya know so the fabric doesn't break down.

It is always best to shower, wash your face and shampoo your hair as well as wash your bathing suit but after a day in the pool, you just might be too tired. So try just the basics like rinsing off.

Remember, you dont want your hair to rebel against you and start changing colors on you in protest, try to make the whole globe around you happy and just rinse off, shower in the morning.

Answer 3

i would rinse it off, even the next day if you had to wait that long, but your skin will get really dry if you dont rinse off after being in a chlorine pool.. thats all ive seen happen from not rinsing off.

Answer 4

You can't get away from any chemical.  Defintely rinse off and wash thoroughly.

When we were kids at the public pool they had outdoor showers.  So we'd wash up as far down as possible and then up as far as possible. When we got home, we'd wash the possible!

Answer 5

Chlorine is a chemical. I would definitely rinse it off.

Answer 6

It's not a huge deal, it won't hurt you if you only do it now and then. If you are blonde it might make your hair kinda greenish. But I  have an oily complexion and the chlorine actually helps my skin clear up!

Answer 7

definitly

Answer 8

The amount of chlorine in public pools is really strong, and will turn your hair greenish if you are blonde. You're probably all right with once but if you go often you will damage your hair if you don't wash it out. Not to mention all the other gunge that ends up in all public pools!

Answer 9

the chlorine will dry out your hair and skin

Answer 10

There's no need to panic about leaving it once, although you should shower it off. I've been swimming competitively for several years and after every training session and competition I hit the showers immediately. If you don't wash away chlorine, it can dry up your skin, give you dandruff and dull hair and if you're blonde, it can even give your hair a greenish colour (until you wash it off, of course!).

Answer 11

because chroline is a chemical and if you dont your hair gets itchy and you get daindra all dat white stuff in your hair and your hair falls of from it so have a shower after pool oh and your skin gets all dees red dots like mozy bites but its bad and you might be able to get away with it sometimes but dont take any chances
