This can help minimise stripping of natural oils while effectively removing impurities. Using anything that is too harsh for your skin will only cause further irritation and discomfort, and make the symptoms of hard water damage far worse.
If your hair is crying out for moisture due to hard water, a simple swap to a more heavy-duty conditioner could do the trick. Hydrating skincare products containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides or niacinamide can help replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier, combating dryness and sensitivity caused by hard water.
