Since moving to Seoul a month ago my skin has been going nuts (acne, eczema, etc.). Sometimes my skin literally stings when I step out of the shower (this is without using any soap). I have been eying water filtration systems on Gmarket- particularly Aquasana's pack which includes a drinking water filtration system and a filtration system for the shower.

Has anyone used either a drinking water filtration system or shower filtration system in Korea? My main concern is whether one of these would be portable, since I will be moving to another city within 6 months.

Thanks!

The people who lived here before us had some kind of water softening/filtration system for the shower. They removed it and must have taken it with them. It was mounted on the wall next to the faucet.

I have sensitive skin, too. At first, I learned I was using too cheap of a fabric softener. Once I switched to Pigeon, I was much better. The best stuff to use on my skin in the shower seems to be Dettol shower foam Sensitive.
