A Dry Skin Solution
Filed under: General Health
So, this is a slightly random post today, but it is something I think can help a lot of people. In winter I suffer from pretty dry skin that used can be sometimes quite painful. I have tried lots of different bodywashes and stuff, loofahs, lotioning everyday (manly I know) to prevent it. They help, but it’s not perfect.
I was reading my dad’s Men’s Health a few months back and they had a report on water filters, shower filters and such. It piqued my interest as it mentioned a shower filter that removed 99% of chlorine, as well as reducing sulfur and other drying agents. With my history of dry skin I thought it might be worth it to give it a shot, so I bought one, and it has been awesome. It has a kickass massage setting, plenty of water pressure and helped to keep my skin much better at the end of the winter. I couldn’t be happier with it.
It is the Culligan WHS-C 125 Wall Mount Filtered Showerhead. It is relatively cheap, roughly $30 for a 6 month filter life, and about $15 for a replacement filter. When you have painful dry skin, $45 a year is a pittance to pay to help keep it healthier. They also offer a handheld version if you are so inclined. It isn’t fool proof, and it isn’t going to make your skin perfect all by itself, but it can help, and help a lot. For those of you who wage the dry skin battle, it is just one more arrow in your quiver. Good luck.

Howdy, I do believe your site might be having internet browser coptltibiaimy issues. Whenever I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Aside from that, fantastic blog!

Onçana Khymato disse:Excelente texto, Lis! Concordo com cada letra do que vc escreveu!!Eu assisti Cheias de Charme e curti, era uma novela leve e divertida. Quando começaram as propagandas de Guerra dos Sexos eu senti um misto de preguiça e nojo, e a única certeza é a de que não quero assistir. Mas o que me desgosta profundamente é quando converso sobre com alguma mulher e ela me diz : ‘ vc está exagerando, é só uma novela, é de brincadeirinha! ‘ Ok, continuem ‘brincandinho’ de achar graça de tudo, que eu prefiro continuar lutando por igualdade.
