Salt overexposure is liable to dry up your skin and cause rashes/cracking leading to vectors for infection.

Is it? My parents have a salt water pool and swim in it daily through the summer.

Salt water pools contain 10x less salt than the ocean. You can safely drink from it.

And you're attributing this all to sea water exposure? My intuition is that sun exposure would be a bigger factor.
