A visit to the pool is always a joy, a feeling of fullness of life, a good way to recover and restore strength and vigor. In order not to overshadow this event, you should follow some rules that will help you avoid many of the troubles that await you in the pool.
Instructions
Step 1
Before going to the pool, be sure to wash off your makeup. Exposure to chlorine and its derivatives, which by definition are strong allergens, in combination with cosmetics can cause severe allergic reactions. After removing the cosmetics, you can apply a protective cream to the skin that has the ability to form a film and thereby prevent the harmful effects of water (for example, "Silicone").
Step 2
Use diving goggles in the pool. Thus, you will protect your eyes from diseases such as conjunctivitis, which can be caused by the same chlorinated water. If you feel tearing, burning, itching of the mucous membrane of the eyes, immediately leave the pool and rinse your eyes with clean, non-chlorinated water.
Step 3
Wear a rubber or silicone cap. Actually, the presence of a cap is a mandatory requirement when visiting the pool, but it is often ignored by swimmers. Thus, they expose their hair to the negative influence of chlorine, and also create discomfort for the rest of the swimmers, because the hair can get into the water, and this is always unpleasant.
Step 4
Use intimate hygiene products. Their use is important both before and after visiting the pool. Intimate gels, sprays, mousses will create an antiseptic effect and the necessary hydration of the mucous membranes.
Step 5
Women should not go to the pool during their period. Firstly, this is incorrect, and no tampons will save you. Secondly, during this period, a woman's immunity is, as a rule, weakened, and the likelihood of getting various kinds of infections and inflammation is quite high.
Step 6
Stock up on antifungal medications for your feet and use them when you visit the pool as a preventative measure. Recently, the incidence of fungal infections of the feet and nails has increased several times, so such foresight will not be superfluous. It is not necessary to buy strong medicines, one of the cosmetic preparations based on herbal ingredients will be quite enough. Probably, it will be superfluous to remind that in the presence of fungal diseases, entering the pool is generally contraindicated.
