Chlorine Drying Out Your Skin? Here's What Helps After Swimming
Regular swimmers know the feeling: tight, squeaky-clean skin that's actually anything but hydrated. Both chlorinated pools and saltwater strip natural oils from skin fast, and the drying effect compounds with every swim. Here's how MORE™ Coconut Oil Dry Body Spray fits into recovering from that.
Why Pool and Ocean Water Are So Drying
Chlorine strips away the skin's natural protective oils with every swim, while saltwater draws moisture out through osmosis. Add in sun exposure, which most swimming happens alongside, and skin is dealing with multiple drying forces at once — which is why regular swimmers often notice rougher, tighter-feeling skin even when everything else about their routine stays the same.

The Most Important Step: Rinse First
Before any moisturizer goes on, a proper shower to rinse off chlorine or salt residue matters more than people often realize — leaving either on skin for hours continues drawing out moisture even after you've left the water. Once skin is clean and still slightly damp, that's the ideal window to apply MORE and lock in whatever moisture is left.
Why Fast Absorption Matters for Pool Days
A heavy, slow-absorbing lotion isn't practical between pool sessions or on the way out the door after a swim. MORE's fast-absorbing, non-greasy format means it's realistic to apply right after toweling off without derailing the rest of a pool day, making it easier to actually stick with the habit rather than skip it because it's inconvenient.

For Regular Swimmers, Daily Matters More
One post-swim application helps, but swimmers who train regularly see the most benefit from treating moisturizing as a daily habit rather than something reserved only for pool days. Consistent hydration gives skin a better baseline to recover from each session, rather than starting from dry every single time.
A Simple Post-Swim Routine
- Rinse thoroughly right after swimming to remove chlorine or salt residue.
- Apply MORE while skin is still damp, not after it's had time to fully dry out.
- Keep a Travel Size bottle in your swim bag so it's there even for pool days away from home.
- Make it a daily habit, not just a post-swim one, if you're in the water several times a week.
Recovery That Keeps Up With a Swim Routine
Regular swimming shouldn't mean choosing between staying active and keeping skin comfortable. A quick rinse followed by MORE is a realistic habit to build into a routine that already includes the pool. Orders ship free within the U.S., with a 30-day return window on unopened bottles.
