Barrier Creams

[Grubby]

Anyone have any experience with swimmers using a barrier cream while swimming? I and my kiddos have dry/sensitive skin and I'm considering applying something like this in addition to sunscreen. Maybe (probably?) it's not enough to make much of a difference in the water, but I didn't want to stray too far down a path if others have had negative experiences before.

Cheers!

Never heard of it before.... ? Since it appears to be more a moisturizer than a sun screen, I guess it doesn't help to just wear rash guards huh?

Be aware that a lot of lotions and potions on swimmers can cause icky scum lines, but they're usually easy enough to scrub off with a Mytee Mitt and a little extra chlorine in the water.

I know that if I let my TA and CH rise too much, my wife says it dries her skin.

Using softened water for pool water make up and keeping TA at 100 or less, no issues.
