We all know the feeling of pure, bona-fide relief when a hot shower washes all our worries away. Why not make sure the ritual is as rewarding as possible? The right showerhead can mitigate water hardness, boost your skin and hair quality, and of course, make your bathroom feel like a much-needed spa escape before or after a long day. Whether you’re wrestling little ones into the tub and needing the extra help of a detachable faucet, or prefer a soothing rain-like shower experience, we’ve rounded up an assortment of the seven best shower heads to shop now, in consultation with Vancouver-based dermatologist Dr. Katie Beleznay.

Smart Showerhead

Want all the bells and whistles? Go for hai, a smart showerhead with customized pressure controlled by a slider (pro tip: opt for the mister setting), an LED notification that lets you know when your water's hot and when to get out, and an accompanying app. Best of all, this is the showerhead our dermatologist consult recommends.

“While I know how much people love their hot showers, your skin will thank you if you turn down the temperature. Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, which can lead to dryness, irritation, and potential disruption of the skin's protective barrier," advises Dr. Beleznay. "Having the hai Smart Showerhead app can help to regulate temperature, which can certainly be helpful in your skincare routine."

GURIN Shower Head High Pressure Rain

Shoppers also praise its easy installation.

One reviewer writes: "The water flow is excellent and the head can be adjusted to accommodate both direction and user’s height."

Three spray options ensure a customizable washing-up experience with an ultra-long hose. The spray's a satisfying 1.8-gallon per minute, and shoppers note the brand "thought of everything." The shower head is engineered to pair perfectly with any 45-degree shower arm, and is not recommended for straight vertical or horizontal setups.
