Back-to-School Breakouts? It Might Be Your Shower Water

Back-to-School Breakouts? It Might Be Your Shower Water



You’ve tried the skincare.
You’ve changed the pillowcases.
But if your teen is still dealing with breakouts, dry skin, or scalp flare-ups — the problem might not be on their skin.

It might be in their shower water.


🧪 What’s Really in Shower Water?

Most Aussie homes use chlorinated tap water. It’s great for killing bacteria… not so great for your skin.

Chlorine and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) can:

  • Strip skin’s protective oils

  • Disrupt pH balance

  • Trigger inflammation and clogged pores

  • Irritate existing acne, eczema or dermatitis

And it’s worse with hot water + steam, which opens pores and increases absorption.


😬 Why Teens Are Extra Vulnerable

Teen skin is:

  • Oilier due to hormonal shifts

  • More reactive to pH changes

  • Already under stress from school, screens & sweat

  • Often over-washed with harsh products

Showering in chlorinated water = a recipe for constant breakouts and irritation.


🚿 The Fix: A Shower Filter That Actually Works

Our Shower Mate installs in under a minute and uses:

  • ✅ Mineral Stones to neutralise chlorine

  • ✅ KDF + ceramic beads to reduce VOCs and sediment

  • ✅ Ion exchange for smoother, softer water

The result?
✔️ Clearer skin
✔️ Calmer scalp
✔️ Softer hair
✔️ Less itchiness after every shower
