Windex and Aquaphor

 

I've spent the entire summer, so far, doing a head to toe workout in the pool five mornings a week.  Along with my fellow swimmers, we've seen the weather and pool temp go from chilly, to just right, to HOT.  The pool is hotter than the air.  

Consequently, I have had rash problems.  I slather myself with suntan lotion before swimming and slather myself with other lotion after my swim and shower.

I also wear a long sleeve swim jacket, and a big billed hat so the only part of my body that's exposed are my legs.  

But I still have to tend to the rash.  However, I've found the best lotion to apply.

Aquaphor has been recommended by my dermatologist and my smart, good friend, Christie.  On Saturday when I had my weekly breakfast with Christie (not my dermatologist) she reminded me of the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."  

Remember how the dad used Windex as a miracle drug?  He used it for any illness from psoriasis to poison ivy.  He said it cured his swollen big toe overnight AND he recommended it for rashes.   

I'm not using Windex but Aquaphor makes a big difference on my skin issues.  However, it isn't perfect.  I think it's half secret magic healing ingredients and half Gorilla Glue.  It smooths my skin but takes hours to get absorbed. 

But it's probably better than Windex.
