Any contaminants found in your drinking water
are also present in your shower water. Your largest organ,
your skin absorbs them as you shower or bathe. Some of them
may also enter your body as you inhale.
There are many health and cosmetic benefits
to removing chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
from shower water.
Frequent exposure to chlorinated water may contribute
to acne breakouts and other skin conditions. Chlorine reacts
with the proteins in your skin and makes it dry. This increases
the production of sebum, the oil that lubricates your skin.
An excessive amount of sebum can clog your pores, which may
lead to acne flare-ups.
Even if you use a non-chlorinated private well,
your skin could be exposed to toxins. Particularly if you
live in a rural area, where artificial fertilizer, herbicide
and pesticide runoff could be contaminating your well water,
contributing to cancer and other diseases.
The only way to make your
shower water safe is to filter it.
As you look for a shower filter, consider one
that, in addition to freeing your water from chlorine, VOCs,
and other contaminants, also helps balance the water’s
acidity. This will help protect your skin and hair from dryness,
making you feel and look younger and healthier.
