Better showers, cleaner water, lower price — this filtered shower head just went on sale

Filtered showerheads have been growing in popularity recently, but do they actually do anything? Here is what to know, according to experts we spoke to. The first thing to consider is that most water is not thoroughly filtered when it comes out of your showerhead. That means it could be filled with impurities, which can irritate sensitive skin, further damage dry hair and even clog your pipes. This is where filtered showerheads come into play. They're point of use filters, meaning they reduce water impurities at the point water comes out. Filtered showerheads can help reduce the concentration of minerals like calcium, magnesium and chlorine in water, which build up on and disrupt your skin barrier, leading to dryness and irritation. These minerals can also bind with certain ingredients in skincare products, causing them to leave behind a residue that may lead to irritation, clogged pores and breakouts. After using a filtered showerhead for over a year, I've definitely noticed that my skin is less dry and my hair is softer. My hairdresser even told me that my curls have never looked better. I've installed four different shower filters myself and each time has been a fairly simple process. It's an easy change that can really improve your shower experience and your skin and hair overall.
