Should I wash with soap after swimming?



I have extremely dry skin. Should I wash my skin with soap after swimming or just rinse in the shower?

I use a body wash. It helps so that my skin doesn't get as dry. Yes, it gets a lot of the chlorine off but as I jokingly say, my favorite cologne is chlorine :D.
You should wash with a morsturizing soap...not dry bar soap.

i.e. Oil of Olay
try rinsing off to remove the chemicals from your skin, then apply a good lotion!
After you go swimming you should definitely wash off the Chlorine if you were in a pool, because it is so drying and will gradually dry out and tangle your hair too. I would use Oil of Olay moisturizing body wash,or Dove moisturizing body wash instead of soap. If you swam in the lake you may want to wash off too. Definitely use a moisturizer or baby oil right after you shower while your skin is still a little bit wet it retains moisture better!
Experience. I had dry skin, but not anymore.
yes. but you absolutely HAVE HAVE HAVE to always put lotion on after to moisturize your skin. . . 8 years of experience.. =]
