Hard Water Havoc: The Hidden Culprit Behind Skin and Hair issues

Across Australia, tap water contains a wide variety of minerals, such as chlorine, calcium and magnesium. When the concentration of these minerals is high, the water is termed as “hard”. While these minerals aren’t harmful for consumption, they can be a real irritant for your hair and skin. The minerals in hard water can clog pores, and cause dryness, irritation of the scalp and exacerbate skin conditions such as eczema.

Does your skin often feel dry? Or hair appearing dull? Despite the rigorous skincare and haircare routine? The perpetrator could be the hard water pouring out from your shower. With hard water, your expensive beauty products can have trouble penetrating the skin as intended, lead to clogged pores and can cause a host of skin issues.

FAQs

how do I know if I have hard water?

Hard water contains high levels of minerals, especially calcium and magnesium. Telltale signs include soap scum on shower doors and tiles, reduced lather from soaps, dry or itchy skin post-shower and dull hair. Some even notice a metallic taste or chalky smell in their water. For a definitive answer, consider using a hard water test kit from a home improvement store. If you identify hard water in your home, the Fettle Filter can help mitigate its effects on your skin and hair.
Can hard water impact the effectiveness of my skincare and haircare products?

Absolutely. Hard water can prevent beauty products from penetrating the skin as intended. It can also lead to clogged pores and other skin issues. By using the Fettle filter, you ensure that your skincare and haircare products work to their full potential.

Can hard water affect my hair colour, and how does the Fettle Filter help?

Yes, hard water can significantly impact the vibrancy and longevity of hair color. The minerals in hard water can cause colour-treated hair to fade faster, turn brassy, and can even affect the hair's overall texture. Our Filter effectively removes these minerals, ensuring that your hair colour remains vibrant for longer and reduces the risk of unwanted colour changes or fading.
