Benefits of a Water Softener for your Hair and Skin
The water flowing from our Taps, especially in hard water areas, can have a surprising impact on your skin and hair. Here we explore the benefits of installing a water softener;
For Your Hair:
- Hard water is packed with minerals like calcium and magnesium which can build up on your hair shaft. This can make your hair feel rough, dry, and even brittle and suck the moisture retention out of your hair. This can lead to poor scalp health and premature hair loss. By installing a water softener you will be creating a healthier environment for your hair to grow in. Find out more about the benefits of installing a water softener.
- Improve the Longevity of your Shampoo: You will also use 50% less soap and shampoo to produce a much better lather, finding your hair to be shinier and more manageable.
- Less Scalp Irritation and Dandruff: The mineral buildup from hard water can also irritate your scalp, leading to dryness, itching, and even dandruff. Soft water is gentler on your scalp, helping to maintain its natural balance.
For Your Skin:
- Softer, Smoother Skin: Just like with your hair, the minerals in hard water can leave your skin, making it feel rough, dry, and sometimes even itchy. Softened water is much kinder to your skin compared to hard water.
- Reduced Dryness and Eczema Flare-Ups: Minerals in hard water can disrupt your skin’s natural moisture barrier leading to an increase in dryness. According to the National Eczema Association, hard water can bind to particles in soap, leaving a residue on skin that’s more difficult to clear’.
- Our customers have also told us that their skin’s moisture levels improved when they introduced soft water. Those who previously suffered from dry skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis, have told us their condition greatly improves and in some cases completely disappears.
