Come Clean

Limp hair? Dry skin? Red eyes? The problem is a high concentration of chlorine in your tap water. Vanity issues aside, studies have shown that your daily shower can represent six to 100 times the medically recommended level of chlorine exposure. Quick fix: install a shower filter—in 5 minutes with just two hands. We like the Sprite Slim-line Shower Filter, which is available for about $20 at area Home Depot and Lowe’s locations.
