Everytime I take DD swimming there are at least 3 different women ending up with panda eyes because they got in the pool with a full face of make up- just take it off please

If you saw the amount of fat and gunk that they cleared out of the drains, you wouldn’t be bothered by a bit of make up.

People still sweat while they swim too.

There's worse than a bit of makeup in the pool OP!

Jesus, where do you live that the sea is dirtier than a public pool?!

A relative of mine who lives near an Italian seaside resort won't swim in the sea in summer, because she says it's covered with an oil slick of suntan cream, not to mention other junk.

yabvu. What's it to you if they have panda eyes?

lllustriouslyIllogical · 27/03/2018 16:32

yes it does effect me.

It doesn't affect you as much as my piss...... Grin

Even when I remove my mascara with make up wipes before swimming, I still seem to end up with panda eyes. No matter how much I scrub. So bore off and worry about something important.

According to previous threads, some women go swimming when on their periods with no tampon. So a but of makeup wouldn’t bother me.
