Schedule Free Water TestHow Hard Water Affects Skin & Hair
On Your Skin
Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. These minerals can leave a film on your skin that may:
- • Make skin feel dry or tight after bathing
- • Clog pores and potentially worsen skin conditions
- • Reduce soap's ability to lather and rinse clean
- • Leave skin feeling itchy or irritated
On Your Hair
The same minerals that affect your skin can also impact your hair:
- • Hair may feel dry, brittle, or straw-like
- • Colors may fade faster after coloring
- • Shampoo may not lather well
- • Hair can appear dull or lackluster
- • Scalp may feel dry or flaky
Signs Your Water May Be the Cause
How a Water Softener Can Help
A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause hard water. Many homeowners notice a difference in how their skin and hair feel after installing one.
- Skin may feel smoother after bathing
- Hair can feel softer and more manageable
- Soap and shampoo lather better
- Less lotion and conditioner needed
- Towels stay softer longer
