​​
-
Dry your ears thoroughly after swimming with cotton buds.
Skincare
-
Apply sunscreen to protect your skin from the sunshine and the chlorine in the swimming pool

-
Shower right after you get out of the water. Start with warm water to open up your pores and finish with cool water to tighten them to reduce moisture loss.

If you're a pro swimmer, consider investing in an anti-chlorine soap.

After the swimming session, always apply moisturizer to let your skin regain the lost moisture.
Hair Care

Rinse off your hair before swimming to prevent your hair from absorbing the chlorine or salt.

Treat your hair with a leave-in conditioner to give them extra moisture.
