Hard Water – The Effects on Skin and Hair

If you live in a hard water area, it’s more than likely you will be familiar with some of the effects that hard water can have on your skin and hair. But, do you know them all and do you know the full extent of the effects?

1. Dry, itchy and irritated skin

Hard water contains dissolved minerals like magnesium and calcium. This means it is much harder for the water to create a lather with soap and it is also much harder to wash away any soap residue, leaving you with a scummy film on your body. You may have noticed this film on your fixtures but it also builds up on your skin, stripping away the natural moisture.

This effect not only blocks your pores, the same way it blocks your pipes but can leave your skin feeling dry, far more irritated and itchy and it can also worsen skin conditions such as eczema.

2. Ageing

You may not be aware, but the minerals found in hard water can affect the ageing process of your skin, making you look older than what you actually are.

The minerals found in hard water can form free radicals which damage healthy skin cells and leave you with fine line and wrinkles. They can even cause a breakdown in collagen, which is essential in helping your skin stay healthy and firm.

3. Dry and dull looking hair

Retaining moisture levels in your hair at all times is important to have that glossy and healthy look but the same scummy film that gets left behind on your skin from hard water minerals also gets left behind on your hair. This prevents any moisture from entering the hair and instead leaves you with dull, dry and straw-like looking locks.

An Aquabion is proven to help stop the effects of hard water. Visit our domestic products page for more information.

A truly remarkable piece of kit. Like everyone I was a bit sceptical at first but this unit has been fit and forget and so easy to install. We are a hard water area and limescale was an unsightly problem but is now a thing of the past. Unit starting its 5th year in use and no deterioration in performance noticed yet.

We have very hard water and lime scale is a problem for all appliances and particularly the shower. Had a refit recently and incorporated an Aquabion Mini …. only a month in but looks good. Will be adding one to washing machine soon … as we have been through 3 machines in 10 years

Since we have had this product fitted our water has been great for our skin, great for our dishwasher and washing machines as we notice our clothes feel fresher.  I would recommend this product to my friends and further suggest that this product will save you money in the long term as it will reduce issues with pipe clogging up. All new homes being built in a hard water area should have this product fitted as a mandatory instruction for all builders
