Both can strip natural oils, leading to dryness and barrier compromise. Rinse skin immediately after swimming and apply a nourishing moisturizer.
Look for products with retinoids (to boost collagen), peptides (to improve elasticity), and hyaluronic acid (to hydrate). Antioxidants like vitamin C also help protect against damage.
Use a nourishing moisturizer or lip balm with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or shea butter. Hydration plumps the skin, making fine lines less noticeable.
Regular exfoliation removes dead, hardened skin that can build up and form cracks. Use a pumice stone, foot file, or chemical exfoliant (e.g., lactic acid) 1-2 times weekly.
