Have you ever wondered how water hardness, whether hard or soft, affects your skin? In this web story let's find out the difference between hard and soft water and their effects on the skin.
Water isn't just wet; It can be hard or soft. Hardness refers to the minerals in the water, mainly calcium and magnesium. Soft water has less of these minerals, while hard water has more.
Hard water can leave a residue on your skin. When you rinse, that can make your skin feel dry and itchy.
Soft water is good for your skin. It rinses away soap and dirt better, leaving your skin clean and smooth without drying it out.
If your skin is sensitive then minerals of hard water can irritate your skin and make conditions like eczema or dryness worse.
Do a soap test to figure out if you have hard water. If your soap doesn't lather easily, you might have hard water.
