shower filter for hair health in Australia

How Changing My Shower Water Changed My Skin, Hair, and Confidence

For as long as I can remember, my hands told a story I didn’t like.
Dry. Dehydrated. Rough. Sometimes even wrinkled and pale after a shower.

I thought it was just me. My skin. My age. Maybe the weather.

Night after night, I found myself at my computer, searching for answers. I read everything about skin irritation, hydration tips, moisturisers, and beauty routines. But nothing really explained why my skin—and especially my hands—looked and felt so lifeless.

And then it hit me.

We all know we shouldn’t drink tap water without thinking about what’s in it… so why would bathing in it be any different?

The Day I Changed My Water

That simple shift in thinking changed everything. I started looking into the quality of the water in my home, and what I found shocked me—chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants were common in Australian town water. Not only can they dry out your skin, but they can also strip your hair of its natural oils.

So, I made a change. I swapped my showerhead for one with a high-quality water filter... So I thought!

The Results Were Instant (and Noticeable)

The difference was nothing short of incredible. My hands no longer came out of the shower tight, wrinkled, and chalky. My skin irritation eased. My hair felt smoother, softer, and far more manageable.

And here’s the wild part—people started complimenting me on my hair. That had never happened before.

Why I Started Flowy

That transformation was the start of Flowy—a filtered showerhead designed to improve skin and hair health by removing the harsh chemicals and contaminants from your shower water. I created it so others could experience what I did:

  • Softer, hydrated skin without constant irritation

  • Shinier, smoother hair that feels healthier from root to tip

  • A beauty routine that works better, because your products aren’t fighting against bad water

Your Skin & Hair Deserve Better Water

If your skin feels dry no matter how much you moisturise, or your hair seems dull despite the best shampoos, it might not be you—it might be your water.

I changed my shower water, and it changed my life. Now, I’m on a mission to help you do the same.
