We take showers to get clean, but have you ever wondered how pure your shower water really is? While you\u2019re scrubbing, cleansing, and exfoliating dirt and bacteria off your body, your shower head is actually spraying you with water laden with chemicals. This can cause an array of health problems, from skin dryness and irritation, to life-threatening diseases. In addition to the obvious health risks of bathing in chemical-rich water, the cosmetic effects are disastrous, especially for those with naturally curly locks- thanks to chlorine\/ hard water! So, it is necessary to use shower filters and below are its benefits:<\/p>\n

\"BENEFITSHEALTHY SKIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

The problem with having even trace amounts of chlorine in your shower water is that it bonds to the skin, removing moisture and disrupting the balance of necessary, helpful bacteria that resides on your body. This can result in dry, irritated skin<\/strong>. It can also contribute to premature signs of aging, such as discoloration and wrinkles. A shower filter neutralizes the chemicals, leaving your skin with a natural softness and lustre that is noticeable the very first time you use it.<\/p>\n

HEALTHY HAIR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The same goes for your hair. Chlorine strips the natural oils that moisturize hair follicles and leaves you with dry, frizzy hair<\/strong> and a scaly, irritated scalp<\/strong>. Shower filters can restore your hair\u2019s natural shine and texture, taming frizz and increasing elasticity.<\/p>\n

PROTECTS YOUR LUNGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Showering in chlorinated water exposes you to the deadly chemical chloroform. This happens when your shower starts producing steam, changing the chlorine to chloroform. This can lead to respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis and others. Studies have also shown that showering in chlorinated water can lead to different types of cancers, and chlorine is now being identified as a carcinogen. When you have a shower filter, these threats are no longer present.<\/p>\n

FEEL FITTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chlorine exposure can cause physical fatigue, mental depression, and a lowered autoimmune function<\/strong>, making it harder for your body to ward off infectious diseases and allergic reactions. A shower filter will get rid of those harsh vapours, strengthening your immune system and leaving your mind truly invigorated.<\/p>\n

MAKE HAIR COLOUR LAST LONGER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even a few washes in chlorine infused water\/hard water are enough to dull away any shine in the hair, and a few more washes will effect colour saturation. Chlorine is an enemy to hair; it can turn beautiful hair into dull hair, and even the most natural-looking, processed blondes into pond-water blondes. Washing hair in filtered tap water makes cuts, highlights and colour last significantly longer by eliminating the harsh chemicals that strip out hair colour and make hair look dull and dry.<\/p>\n
