3 Skin and Hair Benefits of Staying Well Hydrated with Filtered Water

April 25, 2019 2 min read

Staying well hydrated with clean filtered water has genuine benefits for your skin and hair. Here’s what the evidence supports — and some practical tips to help you stay hydrated.

Browse our water cooler range or see our Water Coolers Guide.

1. Hydration Supports Skin Elasticity

Skin is approximately 64% water. Adequate hydration helps maintain skin elasticity and plumpness — dehydrated skin looks dull, feels tight, and shows fine lines more readily. Drinking enough water throughout the day is one of the simplest and most consistent skincare recommendations from dermatologists.

Filtered water tastes noticeably better than chlorinated tap water, which means people drink more of it. A filtered water cooler on the bench makes it easy to stay hydrated without thinking about it.

2. Chlorine in Shower Water Affects Skin and Hair

Chlorine in shower water strips natural oils from skin and hair, causing dryness, irritation, and dullness — particularly noticeable for people with sensitive skin, eczema, or colour-treated hair. A shower filter removes chlorine before it contacts your skin and hair. See our Shower Filters Guide for options.

3. Consistent Hydration Supports Hair Health

Hair follicles need adequate hydration to function properly. Chronic dehydration can contribute to a dry, flaky scalp and brittle hair. Drinking enough filtered water throughout the day — rather than waiting until you’re thirsty — supports healthy hair growth and scalp condition.

Practical Hydration Tips

Don’t wait until you’re thirsty — thirst is a late indicator of dehydration. Drink regularly throughout the day.
Check your urine colour — pale yellow is ideal. Dark yellow means drink more; clear white means you may be over-hydrating.
Start the day with a glass of water — you’ve been fasting overnight; rehydrate before coffee.
Keep filtered water accessible — a water cooler on the bench removes the friction of getting a glass of water.
