Shower Filters- and Why You Need One!

If you’re like me you probably don’t lose sleep over what’s in your water…but that all changed for me when I educated myself and invested in a shower filter! When I got into the hand-tied extensions business years ago I had heard the whispers about the importance of having one, but last year I finally took the plunge and I am obsessed. Let me tell you some reasons why a shower filter should be an add to cart item TODAY (let’s be honest we all shop online now, right?).

Health Benefits

With a shower filter, you are likely to get sick less often. This is because it removes the bacteria and microorganisms that lurk in your water and can help clear your sinuses of those seasonal allergens. The elements that are in your water such as chlorine are proven to cause fatigue, depression, and lower autoimmune functions- Mind blown! The chlorine when steamed via your hot shower water turns into a gaseous state and is inhaled. That steam contains free radicals that can cause cancer. Having a shower filter can help filter out those harsh chemicals and reduce your chances of certain kinds of cancers.

Look Younger

The elements, chlorine, and chloramine, are added into the water by the city to sanitize and thoroughly clean the water before it comes through your pipes. They are highly effective in cleansing and removing bacteria but can strip the water of the healthy elements and bacterias such as Vitamin E and fatty acids that help keep the skin soft and the result is dry, itchy skin, acne, and rashes! Having a shower filter can help you to look younger longer and enable you to use less skin products and moisturizers.

Hair Health

Have you noticed how your hair behaves differently when you’re on vacation versus when you’re at home? Every city has different water and levels of chemicals added to its water supply so your hair and skin may feel better or worse varying from city to city. A similar result is happening to your hair as to your skin, the unnatural additives are stripping the natural oils from your hair causing dry and frizzy locks. This can cut your hair extensions life as well causing you to spend more money.

Adding a shower filter to your routine can ensure you’re getting clean water, safe to be inhaled and that is not stripped of the natural goodness that should be deposited into your hair and skin! Our favorite is the Exclusive Home Goods Shower Head Filter Combo Water Purifier— it’s affordable and works on all showerheads.
