[Routine Help] Protecting skin from chlorine? (+ body acne)

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've started swimming 4-6 days a week and I'm worried about the effect that's it's having on my skin, specifically the skin on my body.I've been suffering from body acne around the hair follicles for the past couple of years and I'm currently on a routine to treat that and repair my ingrown hair scars. This routine is Neutrogena Salicylic Acid Body Wash and Amlactin 12% AHA lotion, which was recommended to me by my esthetician and dermatologist (two different people).I've done a quick search of protecting skin from chlorine and I've seen a couple of swimmers say that they use baby oil or advocate a swimming spray (which contains coconut oil). Because of the problems that I've had with body acne, I stay far far away from comedogenic oils and butters (body acne started when I began using coconut oil as a moisturizer and hasn't quit since).Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations for what I could do? I'm using a community pool so I can't control the chlorine levels. I'm also rinsing myself off prior to swimming to prevent chlorine absorption but I don't actually know if that's doing anything. I'm thinking perhaps a light layer of vaseline on my body and face before I get in the pool?I'd really appreciate some suggestions! Thanks all.
