Beautiful skin begins with Chlorine-free water. Explore our signature Beauté Shower Filters available online and in-stores. Suffering from dry, sensitive skin?
Unhealthy scalp and damaged hair with split ends? Hair loss? Asthma? The problem could be in your shower water. Remember how dry your skin and hair becomes after your swim in a chlorinated pool? The same thing is happening at home when we shower in unfiltered tap water, but most people do not realize it. While most of us will readily install a drinking water filter, fewer people buy shower filters
for their home. It is more harmful to shower in unfiltered water than to drink it. Our bodies absorb 100 times more chlorine and chemicals from showering compared to drinking this disinfected water. When we take a warm shower, our skin pores open up and absorb the chemicals more easily. In addition, the steam changes the chlorine to chloroform. The chlorine gas and its byproducts which we inhale during showers also enters directly into our blood stream. This can lead to various respiratory problems including asthma and bronchitis. Various cancers including breast and bladder cancers have also been found related to showering in chlorinated water, and chlorine is now being identified as a carcinogen. In fact, the President’s Cancer Panel recommends installing both drinking and shower water filters at home as one of the most important things you can do to protect yourself from cancer.
