One very key reminder for all eczema sufferers is to shower the right way! Although showering can offer temporary relief to our itchy skin, we should never over do it. Excessive washing can cause dryness and thinning of our skin. Our water temperature should also be kept cool or to room temperature.

The tap water in Singapore contains large amount of chlorine, which is required to kill off bacteria in waterborne diseases. Therefore, we should always try to use a shower filter where possible.

Here are 2 brands of shower filters which I had personally tried, and feel that you can consider, if you are getting a new showerhead or filter for someone with eczema in your home.


#1: SONAKI - The original Vita-C Showerheads

Sonaki's shower heads helps to eliminate the chlorine found in our tap water. By filtering out 99.9% of harmful chlorine, which can cause skin dryness eczema and even hair loss. The filtering however, is not within the showerhead but the shower cartridge itself. You need to purchase their shower head in order to be able to use Sonaki's shower cartridge.

Prices of their shower head ranges from $75.90 - $98.90 which does not come with the shower filter cartridge. A set of 3 vitamin C cartridges cost $25.50. You'll save more if you purchase more shower cartridge. Each of their cartridges will last you for 1-2months depending on your usage.

While I like that the cost of shower cartridges are relatively affordable, they are limited to only their Vitamin C cartridges and I am unable to make use of my own showerhead with this filter system.

I've personally tried their shower filter and feel that my hair becomes softer, skin less drying and itchy after using them continuously for a month. The vitamin C cartridge does not have any scent to it making it safe for use on eczema skin sufferers whom may be sensitive to certain fragrances, plus you get all the benefits from showering with vitamin C.

#2: Refresh Wellness - World's First Collagen Milk Vitamin Shower Filter

Refresh Wellness on the other hand, offers you 2 different options. You can either purchase their showerhead which comes with separate refillable cartridge filters. Or simply select one of your favorite variant from their range of individual shower cartridge.

Refresh Wellness is very innovative to come out with shower filter cartridge of different scent tailored for different occasions and mood. It works like aromatherapy, enhancing the showering experience with its different scent. You can purchase their family shield set for $218 (while promotion last*) or purchase an individual shower cartridge at $59*. There are always on-going promotions so be sure to check them out before you purchase.

I've tried both their unscented shower filter cartridge and Manuka Honey shower filter cartridge. Their shower filter cartridge is very easy to install. You can either connect it to your existing showerhead or in between your hose and lower faucet.

The unscented shower filter makes me feel at ease after each shower as I slowly watch the filter changing its colour, while their manuka honey shower filter on the other hand, offers a unique showering experience that lifted my mood after each shower. Each cartridge lasted me for about 2-3 months. My skin feels less irritated and feels soft, after each shower.
