How to Soothe and Restore Your Skin After Swimming in Salt or Chlorine Water

Tips and salon treatments every Dubai woman needs after a day in the pool or sea.


Dubai’s sun, pools, and beautiful beaches are irresistible. But while swimming is fun and refreshing, it often leaves your skin feeling dry, irritated, and tight. Regardless of whether the first saline soak of the season was at the beach or lounging and splashing in a salt-chlorinated pool, your skin really deserves some extra love post-feet-wet.


At Eyana Ladies Salon, we have seen it all, and we know how to revive your skin to health. Let’s take a look at how salt and chlorine affect your skin and how to restore and calm your skin properly, from home and from the salon.




How Saltwater Affects Your Skin

While saltwater is natural and therapeutic, it also can:


  • Deplete your skin of essential oils
  • Leave it dehydrated and tight
  • Causes peeling or flaking
  • Exacerbate existing dryness or eczema


What Chlorine Does to Your Skin

Chlorine is essential for pool hygiene, but it can:


  • Causes redness, itching, or irritation
  • Dry out the skin's surface
  • Lead to a “chalky” or rubbery skin texture
  • Disrupt your skin’s pH balance


How to Restore Your Skin After Swimming

1. Rinse Immediately After Swimming

Always rinse your face and body with fresh water right after getting out of the sea or pool. This removes salt, chlorine, and any lingering sunscreen buildup before they cause damage.


2. Use a Gentle, Hydrating Cleanser




Choose a mild, pH-balanced cleanser to remove any remaining chemicals or salt without further stripping your skin. Look for ingredients like:


  • Aloe vera
  • Glycerin
  • Chamomile


3. Replenish Moisture Right Away

After cleansing, apply a rich moisturizer while your skin is still damp to lock in hydration. Choose products with:


  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Ceramides
  • Shea butter


💡 Pro tip: Don’t forget your neck, shoulders, and arms—they’re usually the most exposed!


4. Avoid Harsh Exfoliators

It might be tempting to scrub off that dry feeling, but aggressive exfoliation can worsen irritation. Stick to gentle exfoliants 2–3 days after your swim day, once your skin has calmed down.




5. Get a Professional Soothing Facial or Body Treatment

For skin that's had a little too much sun, salt, or chlorine, a professional salon treatment can work wonders.


At Eyana Ladies Salon, we recommend:


  • Hydration facials with calming serums
  • Soothing masks for redness and irritation
  • Aromatherapy body treatments to replenish moisture
  • Full-body exfoliation and wrap treatments for skin renewal


Our treatments are tailored to Dubai’s hot climate and help reset your skin’s balance fast.


6. Stay Hydrated From Within

Don't forget to drink plenty of water. External hydration is key, but internal hydration helps your skin recover faster.


Your Skin Deserves a Reset

You shouldn’t have to choose between enjoying Dubai’s pools and beaches and having healthy skin. With the right care and expert help, you can have both.

The Truth Regarding Glass Skin: Can You Actually Achieve It in Dubai?

As of 2025, achieving ‘glass skin’ is no longer a mere fantasy, but rather an international beauty standard enabling people across different countries and cultures to connect. This phenomenon traces back to South Korea, where it was regarded as an integral part of a woman’s beauty philosophy. Unlike modern-day notions of beauty, which include makeup and filters, glass skin is all about having smooth and ultra-translucent skin that shines from within – hence, the term ‘glass.’ However, trying to achieve a ‘dewy perfection’ in Dubai, which is known for its harsh sun, desert climate, hard water, and pollution, could be an altogether different story.
