Today, our water supplies can contain contaminants like copper, chlorine, and various other chemicals that might not be great for our health. Surprisingly, studies have shown that we actually inhale and absorb up to twenty times more chlorine and other chemicals while showering than we do from drinking water.
When chlorine heats up, like it does in the shower, your pores open, allowing chlorine gas to enter your body and bloodstream. Research has linked chlorine exposure to significant increases in certain cancers, asthma, and skin irritations such as eczema. In fact, up to two-thirds of harmful exposure to chlorine could be due to skin absorption and inhalation while showering.
Installing a shower filter can make a big difference. These filters can remove up to 99% of harmful chemicals and chlorine from your water, while also increasing the oxygen content by up to ten times.
Not only does this mean healthier water for you, but there are cosmetic benefits too:
