Why a Vitamin C Filter Can Transform Your Skin and Shower Experience
Share
When it comes to caring for sensitive skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, water quality often gets overlooked. Yet, the water you shower in every day can directly impact your skin’s health, hydration, and comfort. At Australian Psoriasis and Eczema Supplies, we understand how important it is to reduce irritants and provide relief. That’s where the vitamin C filter comes in—a simple yet powerful addition to your shower that can improve skin comfort and overall wellbeing.
In this blog, we’ll explore how vitamin C shower filters work, why they’re especially beneficial for sensitive skin, and how the products available at psoriasisandeczema.com.au can make a real difference in your daily routine.
What is a Vitamin C Filter?
A vitamin C filter is a specialised shower filter designed to neutralise chlorine and chloramines in your water supply. Chlorine is commonly added to tap water to disinfect it, but it can strip the skin of its natural oils, cause dryness, and worsen irritation for people with psoriasis, eczema, or other skin sensitivities.
By using ascorbic acid (a form of vitamin C), these filters break down chlorine and chloramine molecules before they ever touch your skin or hair. The result? Softer water that’s gentler on your body and far more supportive of skin health.
Why Chlorine-Free Water Matters for Sensitive Skin
The Hidden Impact of Chlorine
While chlorine keeps our water safe from bacteria, it can be harsh on delicate skin. For individuals living with psoriasis or eczema, daily exposure can trigger:
-
Dryness and tightness after showering
-
Flare-ups of redness, itching, and scaling
-
Reduced effectiveness of moisturisers and creams
-
Irritation of the scalp, leading to dandruff-like symptoms
The Vitamin C Advantage
Unlike traditional carbon filters that can be bulky and require complex systems, a this offers a natural and compact solution. It doesn’t just neutralise chlorine—it also helps support healthier skin and hair by reducing the oxidative stress caused by harsh water.
Benefits of Using a Vitamin C Filter
1. Gentle on Sensitive Skin
Vitamin C neutralises chlorine instantly, providing water that’s softer and less irritating. This is especially important if you’re managing psoriasis or eczema, as the reduction in irritants can help prevent flare-ups.
2. Supports Skin Hydration
With chlorine removed, your skin retains more natural oils and moisture. This means your moisturisers and creams—like those available from our range at Australian Psoriasis and Eczema Supplies—can work more effectively.
3. Healthier Hair and Scalp
Chlorine isn’t just harsh on skin—it also damages hair follicles, leading to dryness, brittleness, and irritation. This product helps restore balance, leaving your hair softer, shinier, and healthier.
4. Eco-Friendly and Natural
Because it uses natural vitamin C instead of synthetic chemicals, this filter system is safe, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly.
