The No. 1 missing piece in your hair and skincare routine!

Everywhere you look, there’s a new product being promoted for its benefits to your hair and skincare routine. Whether it’s hyaluronic acid to reduce acne or the latest plant-based serum, but what if you knew the truth about a crucial element you were missing and overlooking on a daily basis? It’s not a fancy new product or a trendy skincare hack—it’s something much simpler yet often overlooked: your shower water.

The water you use to clean your skin and hair can have a much more significant impact on your skin than any face lotion or serum. The water you use to shower with can significantly affect the health and appearance of your hair and skin. This is because of… Chlorine!

How chlorine in tap water affects your skin and hair

Have you ever noticed how your hair and skin feel different after showering in various locations? Different water sources contain varying minerals and chemicals, contributing to terms like “hard” and “soft” water. One common chemical found in water is chlorine, added to pools and water supplies to kill harmful bacteria and viruses.

All tap water contains chlorine in it, as it’s used to kill bacteria in the water so that it is safe to drink, which is beneficial, to an extent. When it comes to your shower routine, chlorine will also dry out your skin, disrupt its delicate pH balance, and kill the friendly bacteria on it (this includes your scalp) too.

Chlorine strips the skin and hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry, dull, and prone to damage. This can lead to a host of issues, including dry, flaky skin, frizzy hair, and split ends. When chlorine interacts with the oils on your skin, it can even produce chloracne, a type of acne characterized by small, red bumps and blackheads. For those struggling with acne, minimizing exposure to chlorine could be a game-changer in your skincare routine.

But the damage doesn’t stop there. When you bathe and wash yourself with chlorine filled tap water, the disrupted balance of your skin microbiome is going to cause you to be more likely to experience:

• Increased dryness and redness
• Increased acne flare ups and blemishes
• Skin irritation and inflammation
• Delayed skin wound healing
• Increased sensitivities and rashes
• Dry and itchy scalp
• Dry hair and more split ends

Our number one tip to promote healthy skin and hair health? Filtered water.

Shower filters and bath filters can be easily attached to your showerhead and remove impurities such as chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants from the water. By filtering out chlorine and other harmful substances, they help to protect your hair and skin, leaving it soft, smooth, inflammation-free and hydrated.
