Is Swimming Affecting Your Skin’s Health?
Swimming is beneficial for your body but can be harsh on your skin, especially when exposed to chlorine and sun
But Why?! The Science Behind:
Stripping Away Natural Oils
Chlorine is commonly used in pools to kill bacteria and prevent the spread of diseases. However, chlorine is also a harsh chemical that can strip away the natural oils (sebum) that protect and moisturize the skin.
This disruption of the skin's lipid barrier leads to increased dryness, flakiness, and sometimes even cracking, that can make the skin more vulnerable to irritation and infections.
pH Imbalance
The skin's natural pH is about 4.5 to 5.5, which is slightly acidic. Chlorine and other chemicals can disrupt this balance, leading to a more alkaline skin surface, which further irritates the skin and disrupts its natural barrier function.
Sensitive Reactions
Chlorine and sun can irritate, especially sensitive areas like under the eyes.
Sun Exposure
Swimming outdoors increases sun exposure, which can accelerate skin aging and damage

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the TRIHARD products made with clean ingredients and dermatologically tested?
Absolutely! All of our products undergo dermatological testing and are approved by dermatologists to ensure they are safe and effective for all skin types.
We pride ourselves on our clean formula approach, developed in-house. Our products are free from parabens, SLS, alcohol, and are cruelty-free. Additionally, they are vegan and non-GMO, reflecting our commitment to high-quality, ethical skincare solutions.
Can the products be used on irritated skin?
Yes, our product is specifically formulated with menthol, Red Algae, and chamomile extract, which work together to effectively calm irritated skin. It's not only ideal for soothing post-workout irritation but also helps reduce itchiness and eliminate lingering odors, providing relief and a sense of freshness to your skin.
Can I use body wash on my face?
Although all of our products are safe for sensitive skin, we generally recommend using products specifically designed for the face, such as our face wash, as body washes may be a little too strong for facial skin, depending on your sensitivity.
What is the difference between the two versions of body wash that TRIHARD offers?
Our After-Swim Body Wash Extra Boost contains additional Menthol for an energizing and cooling effect, offering your skin a refreshing boost during recovery while helping to regulate your temperature and therefore help reduce sweating post-activities. Recognizing that individual responses to our cooling and energizing effects vary, we provide our customers with two options: a gentler Classic version or the stronger Extra Boost, catering to personal preferences.
What are the benefits of applying the Pre & Post-Swim Body Lotion before entering the water?
Applying the product before water activities creates an extra protective barrier for your skin. This layer helps neutralize the absorption of harmful chemicals found in pools and oceans, effectively preventing potential damage and adverse effects. It ensures your skin remains healthy and protected during and after your aquatic sessions.
