    I have oily skin, and swimming in chlorinated water has always benefited my skin. Maybe your skin is getting TOO dry, and upping your sebum production. Do you moisturize after?

    It can. Chlorine is really drying so if you aren't moisturizing the right way for your skin type, your body may be overcompensating with oils that are causing your acne.

    This is good to know. im generally oily skinned. i wash it after swimming, but do not moisturize. Maybe i need to look into that. thanks!
