Skin Care Trio

The AQUA GUARD Skin Care Trio is the full after-swim skin routine in one set: After-Swim Foaming Body Wash, After-Swim Face & Body Wipes and Wet Skin Moisturizer. Together they cover the three moments after a swim: the car, the shower and the towel-off. It is made for people who swim often and want chlorine smell and dry skin handled the same way every time.

What is the best skin care routine after swimming?

Chlorinated water dries skin and leaves a smell that ordinary soap does not remove well. Rinsing right after swimming helps, and moisturizing while skin is still wet locks moisture in. Frequent swimmers and kids in daily lessons feel it most, and sun at an outdoor pool adds to the dryness.

Each product in the trio does one of those steps. The wipes remove chlorine and other pool chemicals when no shower is close. The body wash neutralizes chlorine smell in the shower. The lotion goes on wet skin to lock moisture in and eliminate chlorine smells.

How to use the trio

1. No shower nearby? Wipe your face and body with an After-Swim Wipe as soon as you are out of the pool. No rinse needed.
2. In the shower, wash with the Foaming Body Wash.
3. While your skin is still wet, apply the Wet Skin Moisturizer, immediately after swimming or showering.
4. Towel off.

With a shower right at the pool, skip the wipe. With only the car, the wipe is the whole routine until you get home.

Who it is for

• Lap swimmers and triathletes who swim most days.
• Families with kids in daily lessons.

• Vacation swimmers who want one set for the hotel bathroom and the beach bag.

Questions people ask

What order do I use the skin care trio in?

Wipe first if there is no shower, wash with the body wash in the shower, then apply the moisturizer while you are still wet and towel off.

Do I need all three?

No. Each one is also sold alone. The trio makes sense if you swim often enough that chlorine smell and dry skin are a weekly problem, since each product covers a different moment.

Does the trio include sunscreen?

No. It is an after-swim set. Pre-Swim Skin Defense is the AQUA GUARD product with Broad Spectrum SPF 30, and it goes on 15 minutes before you swim.

How do I get chlorine smell off skin?

Rinse right after swimming and wash with something made for it, since ordinary soap does not remove the smell well. The body wash and the moisturizer in this set both use ingredients to neutralize chlorine smell.

Where it fits

The trio picks up where Pre-Swim Skin Defense leaves off, and hair has its own matching set in the Swimmers Essential Hair Protection Bundle. For the hair side of the routine, the Swim Hair Guide has a piece on how to protect hair from chlorine. Each part of the trio is also on its own page: body wash, wipes and moisturizer.
