I am a long-time competitive swimmer, and still like to swim 3-4x/week. As I get older, swimming gets harder on the skin. I have long put Vaseline on my face before getting in the water, and was wondering if that’s a reasonable thing to do? Anything better to consider? Thanks.
Vaseline (which is pure petrolatum) is one of the best barriers for the skin. If you find that it protects your skin from the effects of chlorine, etc, then I think it’s a very reasonable thing to do. Do you experience any side effects that you don’t like?
Hi Randy — Thank you for your reply, and even more, thank you for this site. So appreciative of the wisdom and the help cutting through the fog of cosmetic marketing.
I do not experience, any bad effects from the Vaseline so I will carry on. After trying a gazillion products that always seem to work best. Looks like I lucked out with something so simple and cheap! Thanks again.
