How does showering in mains water chlorine affect our skin and hair?
While chlorine is added to our mains water to kill bacteria, it can have adverse consequences for our skin and hair health. Acting as a harsh disinfectant, chlorine can disrupt the skin's natural barrier, responsible for retaining moisture and shielding against irritants. This disruption can lead to dryness, irritation, and exacerbate existing skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
The financial burden of trying to combat chronic dry skin can be significant, with the costs of moisturisers, creams, and potential medical treatments adding up rapidly. Chlorine's impact can extend to hair colouring as well. For those who live in older homes with copper pipes, the chlorine running through these pipes can accelerate fading colour and brassy tones. Additionally, it can compromise hair health, leading to dryness, brittleness, and increased breakage. Fortunately, there's an easy solution at hand: water filtration for your shower. By filtering your water you can minimise the damaging effects of chlorine for your skin and hair. This simple addition can lead to long-term savings on skincare and haircare products, as well as potential reductions in medical expenses. With simple screw-in functionality to your existing shower head, and no plumbing required, the SF240-CH shower filter uses KDF media to remove* sediment, chemicals and heavy metals in your shower water. Additionally! The SF240-CH shower filter also includes carbon filtration, which can help in a small way to reduce your intake of PFAS 'forever chemicals' in your shower routine*
How does using unfiltered water at the bathroom sink affect our skin and hands?
If you (like many of us) have sensitive skin, you will know the amount of time and money spent on soothing products in an attempt to reduce redness and keep our face and hands feeling hydrated.
However, have you ever considered the water you use to cleanse your skin and wash your hands with? In reality, every time you cleanse your face, wash your hands, or even shave in mains water, you're exposing your skin to the negative effects of chlorine. This constant exposure can strip away your skin's natural oils, leaving it vulnerable to dryness, irritation.
SHOP OUR SF240
Sadly, if the exposure to chlorine from our shower head wasn't already drying enough, our face and hands are being fed additional irritant exposure to chlorine at the bathroom sink. Meaning it now makes sense as to why our expensive and specialised skincare products might not be working as we want them to, and be keeping ourselves in the same repetitive cycle.
