Hi there,
You have your go-to products. You're consistent with your routine, but your skin still feels tight, dry, or reactive after washing. Hard water could be why.
About 85% of U.S. households have hard water, which is water with high mineral content.
Minerals like calcium and magnesium react with skin and cleansers to leave residue that disrupts your skin's natural pH, clogs pores, leaving it dry and irritated.
For sensitive skin and deeper complexions, the impact is even more pronounced.
The fix isn't complicated. A pH-balanced cleanser, an oil cleanse before washing, and a balancing toner after can counteract hard water's effects and restore what it strips away.
Your water may not change, but your routine can. Come and read more about how to keep your skin balanced.
Warm regards,
Anne Beal, MD and the AbsoluteJOI Team
