Vitamin C in the shower for dry skin
Vitamin C neutralises the chlorine in shower water – tested with over 6,000 litres of water. Chlorine dries out the skin, and sensitive skin often reacts strongly to it. That is why vitamin C-treated shower water feels more pleasant on sensitive skin.
Once the chlorine is neutralised, shower water does not dry out the skin the way chlorinated tap water does.
Chlorine and dry skin
Chlorine dries out the skin, and many people notice their skin feels tight after showering. The condition of the skin can vary with the seasons and stages of life. Skin often dries out more easily in winter than in summer. Skin dryness is affected by, among other things, dry air, washing habits and water quality.
Dry skin can feel tight and rough. Long, hot showers dry the skin out even more. Taking a shower can sometimes bring challenges, because too hot or cold shower water can dry out the skin even more.
The benefits of vitamin C in skin care
In the shower, the main job of vitamin C is to neutralise the chlorine in the water. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) reacts with the chlorine in the water and neutralises it. This has been tested with over 6,000 litres of water.
In chlorine-free water, skin and hair do not dry out as easily. By its properties, vitamin C protects cell membranes and proteins from oxidative stress and helps restore vitamin E to its reduced form. Vitamin C also has versatile properties related to water oxidation and chlorine neutralisation.
Aromagel cartridges in skin care
Vitamin C neutralises drying chlorine in shower water. Aroma gel cartridges care for and moisturise the skin during the shower. The vitamin C, natural essential oil and E substances such as gum arabic, pectin and dextrin they contain support the well-being of the skin. Vitamin C neutralises the drying effect of chlorine in tap water and makes the water more lake-like, i.e. more acidic.
Once the chlorine is neutralised, shower water does not dry out skin and hair the same way. Many people with sensitive skin find vitamin C-treated shower water more pleasant. Aroma gel cartridges contain a fresh scent that also lifts the mood.
Essential oil is a natural concentrate suitable for natural skin care. Essential oils bring a fresh and relaxing scent to the shower.
All in all, vitamin C neutralises the chlorine in shower water, and the aroma's ingredients care for and moisturise the skin.
