Beauty Tips For Body Care
Many of you have probably noticed that when changing city's or countries the water feels different and skin also reacts differently.HARD WATERHard water is what most us have, it contains a concentrated amount of minerals(mostly calcium )which leaves deposits behind. You will know that you have hard water when there is calcium deposits in the shower. That same deposit end up on hair and of course on your skin. This is where acne comes in since these deposits clog pores. Hard water makes hair feel more brittle and seems like there is always something in it. This is also why some have great sucess with no poo and others do. No poo with hard water is pretty much impossible.SOFT WATERIf you have ever showered with soft water it feels silky soft other people may describe it as slimy , some who are not used to it might also feel like their soap is not rinsing off when in fact it is quite the opposite. You are simply feeling your skin and hair with no mineral deposits but are used to the squeaky clean hard water feeling. Personally my hair become feathery soft when showering is soft water and so does my skin. My skin never needs moisturizer and it is Insanely soft.Soft water has none or a very low amount of minerals which means your skin is free of mineral deposits which makes it extremely soft and acne goes away VERY fast in my experience.HOW TO GET SOFT WATERMany people here will advise to get a showerhead filter. Shower head filter remove chlorine and other impurites but NOT hard water despite what they will advertise. To remove hard water (this is a simplified description) an ion exchange- chemical reaction must happen hence why you need a water softener and not a shower head filter. Water softeners and shower head filters are two completely different things. Obviously people will try to buy the showerhead filters since they are very cheap and water softeners are quite expensive. Shower head filters can help if your skin is sensitive to other impurities but will do absolutely nothing to soften water.If buying a water softener is not and option two things that have helped me is making sure my skin is well dried with a towel after showering. By air drying with hard water your leave much more mineral deposits on skin. The same way air drying your dishes leave streaks on skin. Take your time a towel dry yourself well to prevent the hard water from drying on your skin.The second thing once can do is rinse with distilled water but this can become a hassle after a while.Water softener are expensive but they are magical on skin and can be a great long term investmemt for your skin.
