Tap water and fine lines… What’s the link?

Bathroom shelf overflowing with products to fight fine lines and wrinkles? We get you. The solution might be easier than you think.

It’s time to turn our attention to tap water. While it’s safe for us to drink, it contains added artificial chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride which can dry out the skin, leading to premature aging.

Water from the tap is often ‘hard’, too – this means it’s high in minerals like calcium and magnesium. These act like free radicals, damaging the delicate collagen in our skin, disturbing cell turnover and exacerbating the appearance of fine lines.

Try washing your face in the shower, using a filtered shower head.

The Vitaclean shower head uses essential oils to help keep skin supple and glowing.

Vitaclean tip: use cool water as the skin on your face is sensitive to heat.
