what is the best face wash for acne prone swimmers? as well as a moisturizer? i just want my skin to not become damaged because of the prolonged exposure to chlorine,Best face wash and moisturizer for swimmers?
im definitely the person to ask because i am also a swimmer with acne troubles:) i use neutrogena brand for pretty much everything on my face %26amp; it works very well.
the stress free acne wash (http://www.drugstore.com/qxp163358_33318鈥?/a> works very well as a face wash %26amp; is gentle on heavily chlorine-exposed faces:)
after i wash my face i use on-the-spot which is INCREDIBLE.. seriously it solves all my acne problems (http://www.drugstore.com/qxp16553_333181鈥?/a>
the only problem with that ^ is that it does really dry out your face, %26amp; with swimming that can really hurt (especially if your pool uses bromine AND chlorine like mine does! its killer! only chlorine isnt so bad but with bromine too my face looks like an after-sunburn peel every day!!!) sooooooo the solution to THAT is, after on-the-spot, use this!!! which is incredible as well:

this neutrogena spf 15 moisturizer is SO good because it doesnt sting. sometimes my face stings after on-the-spot, but this doesnt %26amp; it takes away ANY pain at all if your skin is sensitive.
ok a few more things;
1. if youre skin is really sensitive, i dont suggest on-the-spot. it does sting, especially after practice.
2. however, ^ that can be solved by this: as SOON as you get out of the water %26amp; dry off %26amp; change, put on the spf 15 moisturizer. then when youre going to bed %26amp; you wash your face, put on on-the-spot %26amp; THEN moisturizer again. it really helps:)
---%26gt; oh %26amp; i forgot to mention that make sure you get the spf 15 moisturizer!! im not one of those moms thats like ';ahh the sun damages your skin dont worry,'; but the spf 15 is really better i swear! thats due to the fact that it has something in it other than just moisturizer stuff %26amp; it helps to fight acne at the same time as keeping your face from peeling! its incredible
3. wait about 5 minutes between each step. i wash my face, then brush my teeth or go downstairs for a few minutes, then put on on-the-spot. 5 min later i put on my moisturizer. this way it gets to sink in %26amp; have a full effect so you cant rub any off or anything.
4. something else that helps are pills!!! if you need to go to that extent (like me hahah :) then you can get acne pills through a simple prescription from your doctor. theyre easy %26amp; fast %26amp; very effective.
5. be patient, it takes a while for it to have an effect. but this works well with my swimming %26amp; i have a pretty much acne-free face after having kept this up for some time:)
6. dont believe people that say you need the really expensive brands to work (proactive, clinique, etc). im sure theyre all great but you can get a similar effect from buying stuff at the drugstore!!
good luck!!!!Best face wash and moisturizer for swimmers?
