You take skin and haircare very seriously, but why not take it further? Keep reading to find out how water softeners can keep you looking your best.
Soft Water Deep-Cleans Hair
Soft water can better penetrate the hair follicle than hard water, meaning that you’ll get a better, deeper clean that will leave your hair looking shiny and feeling smooth. Hard water can throw off your hair’s pH levels and leave it full of unwanted minerals, making it look dull, feel brittle, and lay unevenly. But when you wash with soft water it can effectively wash away that mineral buildup, helping your hair to lie more smoothly and appear more voluminous.
Soft Water Moisturizes Skin
Our bodies produce natural oils that help to keep us moisturized and looking youthful, but unfortunately hard water can strip our skin of these oils. Although washing with hard water may leave your skin feeling squeaky clean, that feeling is actually a result of the water drying out and damaging your skin, which can ultimately leave you feeling itchy and flaky. When you add water softeners to the mix your skin will get a gentler, more effective clean that will still leave vital natural oils intact.
Some studies have also shown that regularly washing with hard water can slow down skin’s collagen production, which can result in fine lines and wrinkles appearing sooner than they would have when regularly washing with soft water.
Soft Water Can Improve the Appearance of Acne
Some individuals have reported that the appearance of their acne improved when they began softening their water, or even disappeared altogether. This is because the minerals in hard water can impact our skin in a variety of ways, and for some they can cause irritating clogs in the skin. By softening water and removing those minerals, you may see improvements in your skin.
Additional Advantages of Soft Water
In addition to keeping your hair and skin healthier, softening your water has a host of other benefits including:
- Cleaning your dishes and laundry more effectively. No more gray clothes or hard water stains on glasses, soft water leaves your clothes soft and bright and your dishes sparkling clean.
- No more soap scum. Because soft water is lower in minerals than hard water, there’s less for soap to combine with in order to create soap scum meaning you’ll spend less time scrubbing the tub.
- Less buildup in your pipes. Because soft water is lower in pipe-clogging minerals than hard water, it leaves behind less buildup that could result in costly repairs.
