Selfies are shifting our definition of beauty

Selin Pesmes says she uses selfie filters because they smooth out her skin and present a "better-quality version" of herself. That's likely the same thinking for the millions of other people who regularly post edited pictures of themselves on social...

Why Shower Filters are Good for Your Health

Shower Filter

The best shower filter performs multiple functions of water filtering, hardness removal, disinfection, energizing, and natural medication. They relax the mind and body into the perfect state of stillness which removes the accumulated stress within the skin layers, muscles, and the central nervous system. The influence of the negative ions can heal many of the pain symptoms associated with the neck, lower back, joints and the spinal cord. The ions can also detox the skin and keep it away from the common disorders, infections and the diseases. The deep massaging effects of the far-infrared layers in the shower filter can enhance the circulation and restore the blood pressure to the normal conditions within the shortest span of time.

Water Filtering

The steel filters and the calcium sulfite in the initial layer of the filter remove all the macroscopic and microscopic impurities from the water. The sulfite is a highly soluble ingredient which is highly essential for the skin health by enhancing the protein supplies to the cells and tissues. The healthy effects can be seen in the epidermis, dermis, and the hypodermis layers due to the highly penetrating property of the calcium sulfite. Moreover, it increases the strength of the collagen molecules within the epidermis and the dermis layers. Consistent exposure can increase the tensile strength, flexibility and the elasticity of the skin. The probability of wrinkles’ appearance reduces considerably. In addition it improves the skin immunity levels.

Shower Filter  Hardness Removal

The hardness removal process in shower filters happens at several stages. Some of the advanced filters have the 10/12 stage removal system. They contain the layers of activated carbon, KDF, cotton, steel mesh, tourmaline, ceramic, germanium, and the other membranes.

Shower Filter Chlorine Removal

Activated carbon can remove most forms of the dissolved and partly dissolved chlorine from the water. The macroscopic and microscopic chlorine particle elimination process softens the water considerably. It can also remove most of the pungent odor from the water due to the deposits of algae, and the other microbial infecting molecules. The process of adsorption can also remove many of the harmful metals from the water including the calcium compounds.

The efficient shower filers can remove the chlorine when it is in the gaseous form. It has high significance on the skin health due to the extensive attraction between the skin and the gaseous chlorine which can damage the cells and tissues.

Chlorine Conversion

The KDF layer is responsible for the conversion of the highly dissolved chlorine particles into the harmless chloride ions. They can attach to the basic forms of calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfur and the other useful minerals present in the water. For example, the calcium chloride has many positive effects on the skin which include anti-aging effects through keratinocytes restoration. The epidermis skin layer can regenerate the cells due to the impact of calcium chloride. It can eliminate the dead skin layers and improve the toning and brightness of the new skin cells and tissues that emerge.

Magnesium chloride can eliminate the oil and fat deposits on the epidermis and the dermis layers. So, the oily content in the gets restored to the normal levels. At the same time, it can control the oxidation of the skin layers due to the UV radiations from the sun. It restores the healthy conditions of the sebaceous glands back to the normal level.   So, the probability of skin disorders like the acne, rosacea, rashes, and the formation of the dry skin layers.

Sodium chloride can act as the skin moisturizer enhancer. It can eliminate most of the dirt and dust deposits on the epidermis layer of the skin. The compound is known to increase the viscous property of the shampoo while the water rinses the scalp. Removal of dandruff and the other sticky wastes generated from the scalp get eliminated due to the sodium chloride.

Sulfur dichloride can heal the skin rashes, blemishes and the dandruff that is present in the scalp. The skin gets natural remedies for the other disorders like the psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis. These changes may not happen in one day, but the consistent exposure of the skin to the shower filter water can make it happen.

Chemical Removal

The water supply from the external sources can contain many types of volatile chemicals that stay resident. The elimination of the volatile (dissolved) chemicals from the water can help improve the natural skin health to be balanced. Most these chemicals are also responsible for the hardening of the water molecules. Their removal softens the water to the next level.

Fluoride Removal

The removal of fluoride from the hard water is a complex process due to the high dissolving property of the molecules water. Only the processes of ion-exchange and reverse-osmosis can remove the fluoride from the shower water. Earlier, the membranes and the ion exchange systems were installed in separate filters which had to be connected to the shower head separately.

Modern technology has made it possible to shrink the size of the ion exchange and reverse osmosis membranes into the advanced compact shower filters. They remove the fluoride and the other harmful metals like mercury, lead, and the others without trace. Now the water becomes extra-soft.

Water Energizing

The disadvantage of fluoride removal membrane is that it eliminates many of the useful minerals that may be helpful for the skin health and tensile strength. Hence the far-infrared ceramic balls are introduced into the high-end shower filers. They can charge the water molecules with negative ions.

The other particles like the tourmaline, which enhances the circulation system efficiency all over the body. The ions can also relax the muscles, joints, and the spinal cord. The process results in the elimination of the accumulated stress factors.

Disinfection

The shower filter can remove many of the dissolved micron level infectious elements from the water. The efficiency remains high even when the water temperature drops to lukewarm levels. It prevents many of the skin allergens and germs from entering the skin layers from the shower water.
