Lotion is one thing I didn't understand until I got married. Why did women always have lotion around. They use it all the time, and I have to admit it does make their skin soft and nice to touch. Okay, time to get back on topic....
But the reason they use some many lotions, bath salts, and bath oils is because they love to take long baths. And these baths mean their skin dries out, their hair dries out, and without the oils, lotions, salts, and conditioners they all would pretty much look like a California Raisin. Don't get me wrong, I love raisins, I just don't want to be married to one.
Taking a shower is an essential step to most everyone’s morning routine. However what you might not realize is the dangers that are literally pouring out on the body through the shower head. The way water is chemically treated, it can cause serious health problems as well as beauty disasters. Our water today is causing our bodies to age before their time.
How shower filters benefit health
Chlorine is often used to purify water for drinking and bathing. However, chlorine is very dangerous to health. Without getting too technical, 50% of exposure to chlorine happens in the shower. Part is done through the skin absorbing the chemical and the other is by inhaling the vapors released through a hot shower. Some of the health problems chlorine can cause are: cell damage, heart disease, bladder and breast cancers, respiratory complications, complications with asthma and bronchitis, and irritation to the nose and throat.
Chlorine is a leading cause of fatigue. Using a shower filter can increase energy levels as well as help prevent major health problems.
CRYSTAL QUEST® Luxury Handheld Shower Power contains a reversible filter cartridge, which lasts about a year. This high performance shower filter combines easy operation and maintenance with the ultimate in structural integrity and overall reliability. In fact, CRYSTAL QUEST® Luxury Handheld Shower Power is the strongest replaceable shower filter available on the market today. It can be easily changed and operated in either direction. Periodic reversing of the cartridge not only ensures balanced filtration and eliminates the potential for channeling, but also back-flushes the cartridge as it is filtering.
Water travels down through the center tube, then passes through the KDF media for de-chlorination and enhances pH balance. Next, the water travels through the GAC (granular activated carbon) stage to reduce contaminants and finally exits through the shower head. Conveniently provides 1 year of filtration.
