Discover how everyday tap water affects your skin and hair, and how BiancaClub's filtered showerhead offers a simple solution.
If your skin constantly feels tight, dry, or irritated after a shower, the problem might not be your products. It could be your water.
Across the UK, especially in regions like London, Kent, and the South East, homes receive what’s known as hard water. This type of water is rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, and often contains traces of chlorine, heavy metals, and even volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These substances may be invisible, but their effects on your body—especially your skin and hair—can be significant and long-lasting.
Here's how hard water harms your skin:
-
Strips away natural oils: Chlorine acts as a disinfectant in water, but when it comes in contact with your skin, it removes the protective oils that maintain hydration. Without this barrier, your skin loses moisture quickly, leading to a dry, flaky texture that no moisturiser can seem to fix.
-
Clogs pores: When calcium and magnesium ions from hard water mix with your soap, they create a residue called soap scum. This film can sit on your skin, clogging pores and triggering breakouts, blackheads, and rough texture, especially on the back, chest, and shoulders.
-
Triggers sensitivity: If you already have sensitive skin or conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea, hard water can make things worse. The minerals and chemical irritants cause micro-inflammation on the skin, increasing redness, itchiness, and flare-ups.
-
Makes skincare less effective: That expensive serum or lotion you're using? It might be struggling to penetrate your skin. Soap scum and mineral build-up create a barrier that stops your skincare from doing its job, making your routine less effective overall.
So what's the solution?
Filter your water. It really is that simple. By removing impurities before they reach your skin, you create a cleaner, healthier environment for your body. That’s where the BiancaClub Filtered Showerhead comes in.
Designed specifically for UK homes and water conditions, our showerhead uses 15 stages of advanced filtration, including KDF-55, calcium sulfite, and activated carbon. These materials are proven to eliminate chlorine, neutralise heavy metals, and reduce limescale.
Real results, real fast:
-
Softer, calmer skin: Users often report smoother, more hydrated skin in just a few days. No more post-shower tightness.
-
Fewer breakouts: By removing pore-clogging minerals, your skin clears up naturally without the need for extra products.
-
Less redness and irritation: Sensitive skin types notice fewer flare-ups and less itchiness.
-
A noticeable glow: Without a layer of scum and chemicals, your natural radiance shines through. It’s like hitting reset on your skin.
