Leigh Campbell from Mamamia loves Lushi – why filtered tap water matters for women

Leigh Campbell from Mamamia loves Lushi

What if the reason your skin feels dry, tight or unpredictable has nothing to do with your cleanser, serum or moisturiser?

Most women spend years fine-tuning their skincare routines. We research ingredients, read reviews, and invest in products that promise results. Yet one daily habit often slips under the radar – the water we wash with.

Leigh Campbell speaking on Mamamia’s You Beauty podcast while discussing skincare routines and everyday wellness

On the You Beauty podcast, Leigh Campbell speaks candidly about real life, real routines and why simple, practical choices matter more than perfection. It is a perspective that resonates with women juggling work, family, and everything in between.

Filtered tap water fits naturally into that conversation.

Why should women think about tap water at all?

Tap water in Australia and the UK is treated to be safe to drink. That does not mean it is designed with skin in mind.

Municipal water commonly contains:

  • Chlorine used for disinfection

  • Minerals such as calcium and magnesium

  • Residue picked up from pipes and infrastructure

Dermatology research published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology suggests repeated exposure to chlorinated water can weaken the skin barrier, increasing dryness and irritation over time. For women with sensitive, reactive or eczema-prone skin, the effects can be more noticeable.

Your face meets tap water before it meets any skincare product. That first contact matters.


What actually happens when you use unfiltered water?

The impact of unfiltered water is rarely dramatic. It is gradual, which is why it is so easy to miss.

Many women experience:

  • Skin that feels tight straight after cleansing

  • Redness that appears without an obvious cause

  • Skincare products that seem less effective over time

  • Hair that feels rough or dull despite good conditioners

Hard water minerals can leave a fine residue on the skin, making it harder for products to absorb properly.


How does a tap filter help your skin?

A tap filter reduces specific impurities before water touches your skin. It does not add another step to your routine – it quietly improves the one you already have.

The benefits of filtered tap water include:

  • Reduced exposure to chlorine

  • Less mineral residue left on the skin

  • A gentler cleansing experience morning and night

Filtered water creates a calmer starting point for your skincare, allowing products to perform as intended.


Why Lushi Filter makes sense for busy women

Leigh Campbell often talks about routines needing to work in real life. Not ideal life – real life.

Lushi Filter was designed with that exact mindset.

What sets Lushi apart?

  • Attaches directly to your tap

  • No plumber or tools required

  • Designed for washing water, not drinking water

  • Clean, modern design that suits everyday bathrooms

It is an upgrade you install once and benefit from daily.

Can filtered water really support better skin?

Filtered water is not a replacement for skincare. It supports it.

Guidance referenced by the British Association of Dermatologists highlights the importance of reducing everyday irritants that compromise the skin barrier. When the barrier is supported, skin is better able to retain moisture and tolerate active ingredients.

In simple terms, filtered water helps remove friction from your routine.


A real day, real water exposure

Inspired by Leigh Campbell’s honest “day in the life” reflections, it is worth noticing how often water touches your skin.

6am

Quick face splash before coffee. No time for irritation.

7am

Family routines. Hand washing. Hair pulled back.

9am

Work mode. Bathroom breaks. Same tap water.

4pm

School pickup or errands. More hand washing.

8pm

Evening cleanse. Skincare applied. This is where filtered water quietly earns its place.

When water is kinder, everything that follows works more smoothly.


Is a tap filter worth it if your skincare is already good?

This is one of the most common questions.

If you are already investing in quality skincare, unfiltered tap water can be the weak link. Many women notice their existing products feel more effective once they switch to a tap filter, without changing anything else.

It is not about adding more products. It is about removing what gets in their way.
