An activated charcoal filter for your shower can work wonders on easing conditions related to dry skin such as eczema and dermatitis. In addition to that there are many health benefits you will realize as well.
Since the chlorine will now be filtered from your water you have a reduced risk of allergic or asthmatic reaction to the chemical. Don’t forget, activated carbon was originally used in gas masks to protect from mustard gas in WWI.
Research also indicates that these filters also aide in cancer prevention. It is scary to think that taking a shower exposes us to such risk, but there is some indication that exposure to chemicals can result in cancer.
