Can chlorine damage your skin?

when chlorine is freshly applied to a pool it must neutralize,or mix with the water to weaken it's strong chemical properties.When you have raw chlorine in the bottle or presented container it is very strong this is why in stores like Academy when workers spill chlorine on their skin they are immediately instructed to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water.If this process was not taken out ,the skin would peel and break with red blotches.So chlorine cannot damage your skin if it has been in a pool and has time to neutralize for ,in the least term 5 hours.Also you must wash your skin with in 2 days or it can dry out your skin.So if chlorine has been in a pool for at least 5 hours your skin is not in any danger ,other than dry skin which is caused when you do not take a soap and water bath with in 2 days.


IS there skin care for swimmer in chlorine pool?

There are probably a bunch of lotions out there that say that they'll help you, but from 9 years of swimming, the best method I've learned is to shower right after you swim, if possible. The longer the chlorine dries on your skin, the more it's going to burn/sting/whatever it may do to you.
