Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 I replaced my showerhead with a new one that filters out the chlorine as well as other thing about 6 weeks ago- unfortunately, I can tell no difference at all. N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 I'm glad Tony saw improvement, but just wanted to let you know, I did not. I wanted one for several reasons- I have highlighted hair and it is supposed to help hair color from fading, but I could see no difference - I also have very dry skin, and its supposed to help with that, again, I could tell no difference- and lastly, I thought it might help with my rosacea, but you guessed it, no improvement.I think its another one of those things that sound great in theory, and we'd really like it to work, but unfortunately doesn't.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 could it be the filter is not working effectively? can you test the hardness of the water pre and post filter installation? > > In a message dated 5/30/02 7:32:24 PM, missnlove@m... writes: > > < did not.

Actually, I'm not sure this should be written off......I have been doing some experimenting with using distilled or purified water (have not purchased a filter yet...) and find that when I go back to washing/rinsing with tap water my face starts to get very flaky again. I switch back to distilled/purified and indeed the flakes/dry patches go away. My skin also is calmer and softer with the distilled......if you I use tap for several days in a row, I start to see some red irritation returning. My skin is excellent right now and one of the benefits has been that I find I can isolate the cause of rosacea troubles more easily since I'm starting from a more " normal " base. (whereas before there were so many issues I couldn't always tell what was causing what....) on 5/30/02 11:02 PM, mizznlove at missnlove@... wrote: > I'm glad Tony saw improvement, but just wanted to let you know, I > did not.

Just saw this after posting a response to nona's post on chlorine......I tend to conclude as Stacey has, that it depends on the quality of water (maybe even the pipes???) because once I tried using distilled water and found no real difference in my face. About six months ago I moved to another city and my skin started getting really dry and flaky.........as I just posted, now the distilled water usage is making a huge difference.
