Unexpected Acne Trigger: Your shower water

Recently, after installing a shower filter in my bathroom, I've noticed a couple of benefits that I had to post about. It's been LESS than a week and I've already noticed better skin and hair. My skin for the most part has already improved significantly since following the paleo diet several years ago (see previous posts). Despite the improvements with the diet, I still had redness and occasional breakouts. Since using the shower filter, however, my skin has become soft and even somewhat smooth. My skin hasn't felt soft in years! I'm really thrilled with the change, I didn't think I would ever see any more improvements.

It certainly makes sense to think that unfiltered shower or tap water could potentially cause Acne for sensitive individuals. Think about it, what's in your tap water? Chlorine, fluoride, lead, aluminum, mercury, copper, herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, the list is endless! Imagine what you're putting into your body EVERY SINGLE day with that shower that you take every morning? Even if you're eating a pure and perfect diet, you're still putting toxins in your system.

Hope this helps others out there. It's only been under a week so I hope to have other updates if I see more improvements.

Best,
