[Review] How a water filter greatly improved my skin.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
When I moved into a condo with my boyfriend, I went from great well water at my parents' house to city water. I had lived with well water my whole life, so I never experienced the long-term havoc chlorinated water can do for sensitive skin.Within 2 weeks of city water, my skin was breaking out with red dots in random places on my body like my wrist, thighs, and arms. I have been dealing with scalp psoriasis since puberty though it has settled down a lot since leaving my teen years. Suddenly, the psoriasis was back on the top front of my head passed my hairline, and it spread in splotches throughout my head.This was around the same time that I joined r/skincareaddiction. My newly bought 8% Lactic Acid (AHA) exfoliator from SilkNaturals was a game changer but my skin started drying out when weeks of near daily use had no effect. No amount of cleansing, moisturizing, exfoliating could negate the damage the chlorine in citywater was causing from daily showers.Within 5 weeks of moving out, we bought and installed this filter and used this cartridge.A week later, the spots are gone. My dry face scaled away to clean, even toned skin. The psoriasis was nearly gone.Since then, we diligently replace the cartridge every 6 months. In fact, I know it's time to replace the cartridge when my psoriasis returns. This time around, the SO took 2 weeks to do it and my scalp is covered again. I gave him an earful while he applied my medicated ointment to my head.Buy a water filter. Seriously. You don't know the difference it can make for your skinInstalling was relatively simple. You just redirect the water pipes to go through the filter with shut-off valves. When he replaces the cartridges, he shuts the water off, drains the pipes, replaces the filter, screws the whole canister back on, and turns the water back on. Easy peasy 10 mins to make a world of difference for my skin.
