WATER

Is your tap water causing or contributing to your dry skin problems? I was shocked to find out about the chlorine and dry skin connection. I guess I never gave it much thought. Maybe you will be just as shocked.

Did you know you absorb more chlorine from your morning shower than by what your drinking out of your tap? It is absolutely true. Here's how. Think about it for a minute--since your skin is the largest organ in your body and it is covered with pores, if your bathing brew is impure (water pollution) or contains harmful chemicals that's an awful lot of bad stuff going into and contacting your skin. Just think of how helpful it would be if you could filter out those contaminates. Wait a minute. Oh, yeah, you can! But it gets even better. With a really good shower filter you can also enjoy a balanced mineral content with the benefits of improved hair and skin.

The Benefits

--for the reduction of pesticides and chemicals that are now present due to pollution of the environment.

--because chlorine that has been added to our taps to make it "safe" is not good to consume, either by ingesting or making contact with our body.

--to filter out possible diseases causing microbes.

--to reduce inflammation within the body due to infection.

--the chemicals present in some unfiltered drinking supplies are known to cause asthma, headaches, and arthritis to name a few.

--because breathing in the chlorine fumes are toxic. Think of that nice steamy shower. What are you breathing in. Think of the steam also coming from your dishwasher. Just what is in that dishwasher detergent. Contact me if you would like to know more about toxic free dishwasher detergent. Simply click on the navigation button (contact me) to your left and request the information.

--because if what you bathe in is impure water and then you top it off by sealing in the impurities, by moisturizing afterward, it is NOT helpful to your dry skin condition. It is just sealing in the toxins which help to make your skin dry anyway.

--for water purification.

The best filters absorb the impurities present while balancing the mineral content and PH level. This delivers the purity that is a requirement for your optimal health.

Knowing that unfiltered water increases your exposure to chlorine by 2 times as much through your skin and by inhalation is a strong incentive to buy a filter for your bath or shower. They are inexpensive and easily installed. I really recommend it to my valued readers. Your skin and health are worth it. It may help your dry skin and dry scalp problems, and help you in your quest for better skin.
