Clean Water, Clear Skin: 7 Benefits of Using Filtered Water for Your Skin

Most of us prefer drinking water that’s filtered, whether it’s from a purified tap or a chilled water bottle. It tastes better and it’s easier to trust what’s going into your body. So why aren’t we as selective with the water that goes on our skin?

From daily showers to washing off your makeup at the sink, water plays a huge role in your skincare routine. It should work to hydrate and replenish your skin, but if the quality of your water is an issue, it could do more damage than good.

Want to know more about how filtered water can work with your skincare routine, not against it? Here are the top seven benefits to using filtered water for your skin.

1. Less Chlorine = Better Skin

If you’re wondering why your water never feels (or smells!) quite right, the culprit is usually chlorine.

Chlorine is added to water systems to remove bacteria. While good for your health, it is quite bad for your skin and hair. It strips your skin of the natural oils that hold moisture in, leading to visibly dry and itchy skin.

A water filter’s biggest job is to reduce those chlorine levels, leaving your skin soft, refreshed, and feeling great.

2. Fewer Breakouts & Flare-Ups

In addition to chlorine, there are tons of heavy metals and other contaminants that sit in the pipes and leak into your water. This isn’t said to scare you – it’s just what's behind the term “hard water!” Over time, hard water can disrupt your skin barrier, leading to premature aging, acne, rashes, redness, and more.

For those with sensitive skin or particularly hard water, chlorine & heavy metals can trigger conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and breakouts.

3. Less Build-Up & Residue

When the water is hard, mineral buildup and calcium deposits take over your appliances. On a faucet, that gunk is unsightly. On a showerhead, it can actually clog and disrupt the flow and pressure of your shower.

As for your skin – it’s not good news. That sticky residue is left on you after a shower, which is why many people with hard water complain of itchy skin or a film-like feeling on them (which also hinders how your skincare is absorbed!).

With a faucet filter in place, it can ensure none of that buildup is seeping into your skin, impeding your skincare products from being properly absorbed.

4. Better Water Pressure & Flow

Your showertime should be a chance to relax, unwind, and rinse away the stresses of the day. If water pressure is off or too low, it can make that wonderful moment feel incomplete or lackluster.

The good news? Many shower filters come with better – or multiple – built-in water flows than your standard showerheads. That means you can adjust until you find the perfect pressure.

5. Shiner, Healthier Hair

It’s not just about your skin – your hair is affected by hard water, too. Chlorine and minerals strip the moisture from your hair, causing it to be dry and brittle. That kind of hair over time will lead to breakage. They can sit on your scalp too, causing dandruff. Those tiny flakes aren’t just a nuisance – a dry scalp can hinder healthy hair from growing.

With filtered water, you can shampoo and condition under the best of conditions, getting shiner, healthier locks.

6. No More Hair Color Changes

Did you know chlorine in the water is often to blame for unwanted hair color changes? Think about it – we’ve all been swimming in a chlorine-filled public pool (or perhaps you saw it on a friend) and left with green hair!

Filtered water ensures your hair color stays true – which is especially important for dyed hair. Noone wants to see the time and money it takes to color-treat hair, go down the drain… literally.

7. Cost-Effective

While there is an initial investment in filtered water in your home, the long-term health benefits may reduce the need for expensive hair and skin care products. Not to mention, it could mean less maintenance on your shower tools and nursing your skin and hair back to health after too much time under hard water.

Investing in a filter isn’t just about cleaner water—it’s about giving your skin and hair the care they deserve. Get better skin, on tap, and start enjoying the refreshing benefits of filtered water with every cleanse.
