4 Ways to Keep Skin Healthy in the Hot Tub

4 Ways to Keep Skin Healthy in the Hot Tub 

We have all heard that it is a “dry cold” up here and our skin confirms this statement!  There is probably nothing better than sitting in a beautiful hot tub on a cool night. Enjoying the warmth of the tub, whether you're relaxing on your own, or enjoying the company of others. Unfortunately, sometimes if you have sensitive skin you are prone to have your skin dry out from using the hot tub. Here are 4 easy solutions to prevent dry skin while using a hot tub frequently.

1. Hydrate your body. Staying well hydrated can help you avoid dry skin. If your body does not have enough water in your system, it will absorb the hot water while you are soaking in the tub. You can avoid that by drinking at least three glasses of water before entering a hot tub.
    
2. Apply Baby Oil. Before entering a hot tub apply baby oil to your exposed skin for 10 minutes before entering the tub. Baby oil is designed to keep body moisture locked in. Upon exiting the tub you will notice more water drops will rest on top of your skin and will not absorb directly into the pores.
    
3. Apply a Conditioner to the Water. There are certain water conditioners that contain moisturizing ingredients that can help prevent dry skin when using a hot tub. You simply add the solution to the hot tub. Before purchasing a product make sure it is oil free; you want to avoid allowing any leftover oils to remain in the water. Follow the instructions on how much of the solution to add to the water.
    
4. Shower in Cool Water. Upon exiting the hot tub, showering in cool water will offset the long soak in the high temperatures. The cold water seals the skin's pores preventing them from getting clogged, compared to hot water which opens the pores.

Take good care of your skin this year while you are enjoying your hot tub and prevent your skin from drying out with these four tips from Arctic Home Living.
