Despite being a daily practice that promises to cleanse and correct, many people are discovering that their shower could actually be the cause of pesky skin and hair woes due to hard water.
Filled to the brim with dissolved minerals, hard water can wreak havoc on your skin and hair which has the potential to lead to chronic dryness, dull hair and the aggravation of skin conditions like eczema.
But what if a filtering shower head could leave you with healthier skin and hair? Enter: the Hello Klean Shower Head.
Clinically proven to leave skin and hair softer and more hydrated, the Hello Klean Shower Head reduces 98 per cent of chlorine, as well as 90 per cent heavy metals and impurities in your shower water, helping to protect your skin and hair with every use.

This is all thanks to the brand’s Klean Complex, which works by neutralising these stubborn minerals, preventing them from clinging to your hair and skin.
For hair, this means smoother strands, reduced breakage and a healthier scalp. For skin, it means boosted hydration and reduced irritation to support a healthy barrier.

Totally innovative, this filter contains Redox Media, Amino Acid Granules and Activated Carbon, each working to trap the things your skin and hair could do without.
And the results really pack a punch.

My thoughts:
I don’t think that I'd be being dramatic by saying that my skin had been suffering hard for the past eight months.
Eczema flare ups on my face and body and a dry, flaky, itchy and reactive scalp had been totally out of my norm but become my daily struggle.
I don’t know why I’d put it off for so long, but people kept on recommending me the Hello Klean Shower Head, and after procrastinating for far too long I finally decided to take the plunge. Now I’m just irritated I waited so long.
I opted for the Rain Shower Head and noticed a difference in my skin instantly after the first use. My scalp was significantly less flaky and irritated, which was my biggest relief, and while I’m still just a couple of weeks in, I’m seeing improvements every time I have a shower.
My patches of dry skin and eczema are fading away and rehydrating at impressive speed, far less irked by my once-hard shower water and finally able to get healing. The relief is insurmountable.
My rain shower head really looks the part, boasting a sleek Black finish that adds a real spa-like feel to my otherwise unremarkable bathroom
But another unexpected bonus is that my hair has become significantly softer. I hadn’t really noticed that the hard water was making my tresses a bit dull, but since using the new filter it’s so much smoother and silker.
I also hadn’t realised that the head would improve my water pressure. My sad old rain shower had totally given up when it came to water pressure, and having a wash felt more like standing beneath a holey drainpipe than a luxe experience.
But now I’m jetted clean every time I step in the shower, and washing and rinsing my hair takes half the time. I’m therefore able to get in and out the shower far quicker, saving a bit of water as an added bonus.

And while I’m no stranger to a bit of home DIY, installation was a total walk in the park. I even entrusted my odd job-averse boyfriend with it, and it was up and running in a matter of minutes.
All in all, the Hello Klean Shower Head has absolutely changed the game for me – and saved my skin. My scalp is healthier and my skin is softer and more hydrated. My hair has never been silkier, and I have never been happier.
This one is a total gamechanger, and I’d recommend it any day of the week.
