Is hard water impacting your hair and skin? Solutions you need

Understanding the Impact of Hard Water on Skin and Hair

If you have noticed that your skin feels particularly dry and dehydrated, or your hair is looking more brittle and damaged than usual, it is possible that hard water has played a part.

Signs of Hard Water Damage on Skin

  • Dryness or tightness after washing
  • Dull or lacklustre complexion
  • Exacerbation of skin issues like irritation, itching, or redness

The high mineral content in hard water can negatively impact both your hair and skin, especially for those with sensitive skin.

Identifying Hard Water Presence

Aside from skin and hair issues, the presence of residue or soap scum in areas like the sink or bathtub can indicate the effects of hard water on skin and surfaces.

Effects on Skin Barrier

Prolonged exposure to hard water may compromise the skin barrier, making it more susceptible to environmental stressors and moisture loss.

Combatting Hard Water Damage

Install a Shower Filter

Installing a shower filter can help minimize the impacts of hard water on hair and skin by filtering out irritants from the water.

Use Pre-Shampoo Conditioning Treatment

Using a conditioning treatment one to two times a week can help plump the hair shaft with moisture and improve manageability.

Use Gentle Cleanser

Using a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser can help remove impurities without stripping natural oils.

Apply Smoothing Oil or Serum

To combat frizz, apply a lightweight smoothing oil or serum before styling to protect against heat and minimize flyaways.

Swap to a Richer Conditioner

Consider swapping your usual conditioner for a richer one to provide extra moisture to your hair affected by hard water.

Invest in Hydrating Skincare

Hydrating skincare products containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide can help replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.

Detoxifying Hair and Scalp Treatment

Consider using a detoxifying hair and scalp treatment to remove hard water mineral deposits and revitalize your hair.
