Why filtering your shower water is essential for your health

L’eau de la douche : ce qu’elle contient vraiment et pourquoi la filtrer

Tap water is often considered clean and safe to drink, but it contains invisible impurities that can affect your health and well-being. Heavy metals, chlorine, limescale... All of these elements have a direct impact on your skin, hair, and even your body. Here's why it's essential to use a filtered shower head.

1. What pollutants are present in tap water?

The water we use daily often contains:

  • Chlorine , added to disinfect the water but which irritates the skin and dries out the hair.

  • Heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic), which may come from old pipes or pollution.

  • Limescale , responsible for dry skin and dull hair.

  • Pesticide and drug residues , which can pass through water treatment systems.

Even if these substances are present in small quantities, prolonged exposure can have harmful effects.

2. The effects of unfiltered water on skin and hair

Water loaded with chlorine and heavy metals can cause:

  • Dry, irritated or reddened skin .

  • Dull, brittle hair that is harder to style .

  • Worsening of skin problems such as eczema or acne.

Chlorine, for example, destroys the skin's natural oils, leading to itching and a tight feeling after showering.
