What do y'all use the get the chlorine funk out from your skin? I shower immediately after swimming but I still smell like chlorine the rest of the day. Wondered if anyone here had any luck with a body wash and/or lotion to cover up the chlorine smell I loathe? Thanks!

I watch my hair and skin with Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo to rid myself of the stench.

Lotion up with a shed butter lotion and I use caress soap. Gets chlorine funk off.

I use a product called TriSwim body wash. It does a pretty decent job of removing chlorine odor. I buy a large pump bottle of it at a time from thelifeguardstore.com but I am sure its available elsewhere.

After 20yrs of swimming, I've learned to accept & embrace it.
Here's a neat trick...whatever you use to get it off your skin...a few hours later lick (or slightly moisten) a small spot on your forearm or the back of your hand....chances are it will still smell like chlorine....if not you're not swimming enough!
I use the Triswim stuff for my hair but haven't gotten the body wash yet. I just use the shampoo as all-purpose....
