My friend told me that swimming (chlorine)
cures acne because it kills the bacteria.
She used to be on the swim team in HS and
never had acne on her body...then when she
stopped swimming she did. And now she is
going to start swimming again and she told
me that swimming cures acne. Does anyone
know if this is true? I use benzaclin and
retin-a micro but I still break out
occasionally..would swimming really help?
Thanks!

when i swam every now and then, say once a
week or once a fortnight, the chlorine
dried my skin out a little so my acne felt
refreshed. however when i increased it to
two or times a week the chlorine dried my
skin out too much, making my acne worse.
