Careful! Hard Water Can Cause Unpleasant Skin Issues
Hard Water and Your Health
Many people think of hard water as a mere inconvenience that may cause damage to appliances over time, or leave unsightly mineral build-up on sinks and showers; but have you ever considered the possibility of hard water being a health concern?
That’s right! For many people, hard water is the culprit for dry skin, clogged pores, acne, itching, and further aggravation to pre-existing conditions such as dermatitis and eczema. In other words, it’s not fun in the slightest!
When Your Remedy Becomes Your Enemy
Most of us grew up learning that good hygiene is the key to preventing many common skin conditions such as acne and clogged pores. Washing every day with soap and water is essential! …but what happens when regular washing and diligent skin care fails to nurture healthy skin? It may be time to have a water sample from your home tested for hardness.
More and more people are becoming aware of the negative effects of hard water, yet it is still difficult for some to believe that washing with hard water can make you, well… dirty; with damaging minerals.
It Looks Clean… But is It?
Water that runs out of faucets is going to look pretty much the same, whether it comes from Alaska, Texas, New York, or California; it all appears to be clean, purified, and safe to use (for washing, at the very least!).
Hardness is not something that can be seen, or even felt initially. The evidence of hardness may accumulate on sinks and showers, but the evidence on the skin is harder to link directly back to the source.
What is “Hard” Water?
When you hear the word “Hard” in relation to water, it is the term that is used to describe water that is high pH, and also which contains unwanted levels of iron, magnesium, and other metals/minerals. The highly alkaline levels of hard water often cause a reaction on human skin, which has a rather neutral pH; the pH imbalance results oil-production interference, causing the body to become dry and itchy.
Excess metals and minerals also interfere with the effectiveness of soaps and detergent. This pushes many people to use harsh chemicals for laundry, cleaning, and bathing. Further health issues can arise when we try to ignore the source of the problem; hard water.
