I purchased a shower filter at Lowes for $20 with replacement filters at $10. They are rated for approx 6 months but I change them at 5.
They are effective with showers being worse as regards chlorine absorption because of the mist it throws up.
This is a touchy subject for me because chlorine is a 'known' and active carcinogenic involved with bladder cancer. It tells me that it simply needs to be avoided.
Bathing is not as bad nor is pool swimming as bad as an Indoor Pool. Again, it is the breathing in of chlorine and it's elements that is worse. However it would be better to avoid it.
I'm not at home so I don't have the shower filter name handy. It is easy to install and when I tested it for chlorine in the water I did not find any that could be detected. My information about the cancer/chlorine connection was found on a number of studies I found on PubMed.
