Tips to keep your skin and hair healthy that no one has told you yet

The chemicals absorbed by the dermis and hair during showers significantly worsen the well-being of the skin and hair. Chlorine and trihalomethanes are very damaging to our skin, hair and intestinal flora.

We are well aware that we only have one skin. We know how important it is to protect ourselves from the sun, check our moles and use gentle products for our skin. 

The same thing happens with our hair, especially in summer, when we notice that it gets worse due to the sun, swimming pools... 

How much do we spend a year on conditioners, styling masks and salon shampoos? Have you done the maths yet? 

What nobody tells you is that all these are supplements, but they are not going to eradicate the problem.

Why does our skin get dry and itchy after a shower? Why does our hair feel coarse when we wash it?

From the chlorine and chemicals in unfiltered shower water. 

The heat and steam opens the pores causing a high rate of absorption of chlorine and other chemicals by the skin - our largest absorbing organ. 

Steam from a hot bath can contain up to 20 times the concentration of chlorine in tap water. 

The chlorine and trihalomethanes we absorb in our showers are damaging our skin, hair and intestinal flora. 

In the following video you can clearly see how our body absorbs the chlorine present in unfiltered water.

Time is the most valuable immaterial commodity in our society and this has a general impact on everything, including on foodstuffs. Food has mutated to adapt to contemporary needs.

Description of the test: 

Pour unfiltered tap water into a container and perform the chlorine test. With the help of a reagent we measure the amount of chlorine in the water and see that the result indicates that there is chlorine (yellow). We then dip our hand into the container of unfiltered tap water. We remove another sample of this water, after having immersed our hand, and perform the same test with the chlorine reagent. The result shows chlorine-free (clear) water. Why? The chlorine has been immediately absorbed by our skin.

Skin conditions: from eczema to psoriasis

People who suffer from different dermatological diseases such as atopic skin, dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, acne, among others, are much more sensitive to these substances and their skin redness often worsens after showering. Special shampoos, liquid cortisone or cream cortisone are usually helpful in these pathologies but, what if we eradicate one of the biggest toxins for our skin? 

Removing the harmful chemicals such as chlorine, trihalomethanes or heavy metals from the shower will help to significantly improve the condition of our skin and hair.

Filter your shower water and enjoy healthy skin and hair.

Install a water filter in your shower to remove chemicals and save money on special shampoos, treatments and creams.
