How Shower Water Affects Your Skin (And What to Do About It)
Share
You moisturise. You exfoliate. You invest in skincare.
But your skin still feels dry, itchy, or randomly irritated after a shower.
You’re not imagining it — and it’s not just your products.
It could be your water.
The Link Between Water and Skin Health
Australian tap water is considered clean by drinking standards.
But your skin? It has its own needs — and harsh water can throw everything off.
Let’s break down what might be hitting your skin every morning:
🧪 Chlorine
Added to disinfect — but it dries skin and strips protective oils.
🪨 Hard Water (Calcium & Magnesium)
Makes it harder for soap to rinse clean. Triggers dryness and irritation.
🔩 Heavy Metals & Sediment
From older pipes. Even trace levels can inflame sensitive skin.
🧬 Other Hidden Contaminants
Like microplastics and residual pesticides. Not filtered out in most Aussie homes.
Common Skin Issues Linked to Shower Water
Here’s what customers report when they switch to filtered water:
-
Fewer breakouts and bumps
-
Relief from eczema flare-ups
-
Less dryness and “tight” skin feeling
-
Better absorption of moisturisers
-
Softer, smoother texture overall
Why Filtering Your Shower Water Matters
Your skin absorbs what’s in your water.
And hot showers open your pores — making it even easier for irritants to get in.
