Kia found a shower filter to help with her severe atopy

Today, Kia, 26, sleeps well at night. She has been using the Aqva filtering shower head for two months and her skin is finally in good condition. The classroom teacher no longer wakes up with itchy skin or has to cover up her atopic-prone skin with polo collars and long sleeves.


"For the first time in my life, I've gone five weeks without applying cortisone to my body. It's unbelievable that a shower head can have such a big impact."

I admit that I didn't have super high expectations for a shower filter that was said to filter chlorine, limescale, and other residues from the water. My skin problem has been so bad that I didn't think anything could help anymore. I thought that all means had already been exhausted.

Severe atopy has plagued me since I was five years old. I have had to apply cream to my skin morning and night. Sometimes the itching has been so bad that I have had to take medication for it. The itching has also kept me awake at night.

My folds, face, neck and nape have been in bad shape. Especially in the winter I have had to use really strong cortisones as a treatment. Still my skin has not remained good. After the treatment the inflammation has quickly set in. The summers have been a momentarily better time.

The filterable shower head allows your skin to withstand daily showers

I have been using the Aqva filtering shower head for a little over two months now.

The creases look so good that I can happily put on a t-shirt and even put on a watch. It hasn't worked before because the skin on my wrists has been broken. The neck and décolleté area are also surprisingly clean, but I still need to put cortisone on my face – my face needs to be washed more often than my body. Exercise has also been more comfortable since I started using the shower head. My skin has sometimes stung really badly when I sweat.

Taking a shower every day was impossible before the shower head filter. My skin couldn't handle it. Now it can. I can manage by just applying a base cream after the shower.

The effectiveness of the shower head came as a surprise to those close to me as well

Even those close to me have noticed the change. They have thought I was on a heavy cortisone shot and were surprised when they heard about the new filtering shower head. The before and after pictures of my skin have impressed many.

The end result has made me feel better in many ways. I no longer have to worry about how spots on my neck, for example, look. I remember how when I was younger, my spotty skin took a toll on my self-esteem. The best part about the change, however, is this general feeling of well-being. The constant itching is gone. My clothes feel comfortable and I can sleep well at night.”
