Wow! I’m loving these tips from a friend on natural ways to reduce chlorine exposure.
I don’t know about you, but every time we go to the pool someone has issues - itchy skin, respiratory issues, and red eyes. Ugh! So gross.

Even though we converted our pool to a saltwater pool, we're still exposed to some levels of chlorine.
Here are a few tricks we use to counteract chlorine exposure:
1. We often massage coconut oil into our skin before entering the pool. This gives us extra protection from the chlorine (which can strip away the healthy acid mantle of the skin).
2. We take lots of Super C (this is Young Living’s Vitamin C supplement). The chemical structure of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) neutralizes chlorine. I like the Young Living Super C Chewables… because the boys don’t like to swallow pills (and neither do I, to be honest!). And... vitamin C is a great support to our immune systems.
3. We apply Lemon essential oil and/or DiGize essential oil blend on the bottom of the feet (both from Young Living).
4. After they get out of the pool, my boys literally run upstairs and take a detox bath with Epsom salts (I don't even have to ask them to do this anymore... they love their baths!).
