Overview
Key facts
- Water “hardness” refers to the amount of dissolved minerals (primarily calcium and magnesium) found in the water.
- When hard water is heated in our home’s water systems, these minerals are deposited onto your skin and hair.
- Continual hard water exposure can cause dry, tight skin, and increased sensitivity and clogged pores. It can also lead to a flaky scalp and dry, brittle hair.
- Hydrating skincare and hair care products can lend support to the skin moisture barrier, combating the effects of hard water on skin and hair.
