help me shed this chlorine smell

topic posted Mon, October 15, 2007 - 8:06 AM by  Kat
Any ideas out there with getting rid of the smell???
It doesnt seem like the shower and shampoo is even taking a bite out of the intensity.
I think the pool Im swimming in now is more heavily chlorinated than any one Ive ever swam in and it seems to be sinking deeply into my pores.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    I LOVE the chlorine smell, it is a measure of the swim shape I'm in - I love getting into a hot shower and smelling the chlorine, as well as never having to wear deodorant and smelling like chlorine when I sweat. My girlfriend knows me by that body smell too. Embrace it, not erase it.

      For shampoo I use Ultra Swim Shampoo and Trader Joe's Citrus shampoo then my regular conditioner. (I have long curly hair that seems to just soak up the chlorine)

      For body wash I use either Dr.Bronner's or Trader Joe's peppermint castille soap. It seems to help. Then after the shower I lather a lot of lotion on my whole body. That *usually* helps...but it doesn't get rid of the chlorine completely.
