Show Yourself Some Love This Valentines: Feel Beautiful Inside and Out With Soft Water That Enhances the Health of Your Hair, Skin, and Nails.
Soft water in your home helps support the health of your hair, skin, and nails by ensuring excess minerals are not deposited and products can work efficiently.
What is soft water?
Soft water contains low amounts of minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, whereas hard water has higher detected levels of minerals. Hard water is formed when water passes through deposits of chalk, limestone or gypsum. It is estimated that 85% of homes in the United States have hard water. Hard water can be treated using ion exchange water softeners to remove excess minerals and dissolved rock, significantly enhancing water quality.
How does soft water enhance the health of your hair, skin & nails?
Homes with a water softener enjoy a better lather, better bathing experience, and peak performance of products applied to hair, skin, and nails.. Softened water also eliminates the harmful effects hard water has on your body due to mineral build up and destruction of natural oils in your skin and hair.
Hair
Soft water increases the efficacy of your products and protects your hair from mineral build up. A 2018 study by the National Library of Medicine concluded that there is, “a significant statistical decrease in the strength of hair,” after being treated with hard water. Removing minerals including calcium and chlorine allows your products to work more efficiently and ensures minerals are not deposited onto your hair strands which leads to breakage, dullness & lack of luminosity. Mineral build up from hard water may be why your hair products don’t work as well as they claim to. Soft water will help your cleansers break through any build up and prevent future deposits to bring you the healthiest hair yet.
Skin
Enhance your skin’s vibrance and hydration by ensuring the water in your home is soft. A study published in 2021 concluded that water hardness, by itself, could lead to severe dry and irritated skin. Soft water allows your skin cleansing & hydration products to work as intended because it reduces mineral build up on your skin. If your skin is coated with minerals due to hard water, your products cannot work as intended. Although mineral build up may not be visible, it can increase dryness & act as a conduit for a slew of other skin issues including irritation, acne, inflammation, wrinkles, and premature aging.
Nails
Consistent hand washing with hard water can cause your nails to become brittle & flaky. Hard water minerals can also dry out your nail beds and stunt the growth of your nails. After some time, your nails can become thin, weak and discolored. You can’t control the mineral content of all the water you use to wash your hands, but you can ensure that the water at home is soft to ensure the long term benefits for your health.
