We often think of water as our purest source of hydration. But while drinking it may indeed be the best way to replenish fluids, the tap water in many homes has contaminants that can affect everything from its taste to its role in your wellness routine. From hard water to chlorine, here’s a look at common water impurities and their impact, and what a bathroom faucet filter can do to address them.

How Hard Water Can Affect the Skin and Hair

Hard Water & Your Home

Hard water is a common challenge across the U.S., affecting an estimated 85% of households. With a high concentration of minerals like magnesium and calcium, hard water takes its toll on your home, hair, and skin, detracting from your wellness routine before it even begins1.

While not considered unsafe from a health standpoint, mineral-rich water can be a nuisance, leaving its mark in noticeable ways. For one, you might spot white mineral deposits on your silverware and dishes, or collected along your taps, shower heads, and other plumbing fixtures. Your clothing can even bear the signs of hard water, with a scratchy, stiff feel and accelerated discoloration. Oftentimes, hard water will leave soap scum behind, since it lathers and rinses poorly compared to softer water2.

What Hard Water Means for Your Personal Care Routine

But some of the most noticeable effects of hard water can be found within your hair and on your skin. Showering with hard water often leads to mineral buildup in your hair and on your scalp, preventing moisture from reaching the follicles. As a result, your hair may become thin, brittle, easily tangled, dry, and dull. If you have color-treated hair, you might also find that your salon results fade quickly, and yellow or brassy undertones creep in3.

As for your skin, mineral deposits from hard water are likewise problematic. These agents can react with ingredients in soap and leave a residue behind, disrupting your skin’s natural barrier. Over time, you might experience clogged pores, acne, and dry skin. If you have an existing skin issue, such as psoriasis, eczema, or sensitivity, hard water can be especially troublesome and may trigger flares more frequently4.

Fortunately, healthier skin and hair are easily achievable with filtration devices. While the Canopy Filtered Showerhead and Bath Tub Filters take care of your daily suds sessions, you can extend the benefits of cleaner water with the addition of our Faucet Filter. Keep damaging hard minerals from your face and hands with these simple devices, which have best-in-class filtration to capture contaminants.

What Excess Chlorine Can Do to Skin and Hair

Sanitation agencies across the U.S. have been using chlorine to disinfect residential water supplies for more than a century5. While this is an important health and safety step, the chemical can negatively impact your skin and hair with continued exposure6.

Since chlorine has a drying effect, it can lead to dry skin, itchiness, and irritation. Not only can this be irritating for cleansing, but it can make shaving more irritating, too. The chemical can sap moisture from your hair and scalp, too, resulting in dryness and damage. It may even alter your hair’s pigment, making it a common culprit behind unwanted discoloration7.

Aside from the physical effects of chlorine, you might also notice that the chemical produces an off-putting taste. Heavily chlorinated water can have a distinct chemical smell and taste—not exactly appealing for rinsing, brushing, or hydrating.

The good news is that a bathroom faucet water filter is also a practical solution for chlorine-related challenges. Like the filter in your shower or tub, adding a Canopy filter to your bathroom sink will make your cleansing routine purer and more aligned with your beauty and wellness goals. Plus, your bathroom drinking water will have a clean, refreshing taste, a welcome relief for sipping before bed or first thing in the morning.

FAQ

Can hard water cause hair loss?

While hard water may not cause hair loss directly, the effects it causes on your hair over time could be a contributing factor to accelerated hair loss. By increasing dryness and potentially leaving buildup behind, hard water can leave your hair damaged and brittle, making it less resilient to daily styling and more prone to breakage and loss.

Is chlorine bad for your hair?

Chlorine has a drying effect on your hair, which can leave it more vulnerable to damage from daily wear and tear. It can also alter your hair’s color, particularly if it’s a lighter shade.

What does hard water do to your hair?

Hard water leaves behind deposits of drying minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can prevent follicles from getting the moisture they need to stay healthy. Hair then becomes fragile, dull, and easily tangled. Its color may also fade quickly due to the lack of hydration.

Is chlorine bad for your skin?

Chlorine can cause dry skin, leaving it itchy and irritated. For people with existing skin conditions, such as sensitivities, psoriasis, and eczema, the dryness caused by chlorine may worsen symptoms.
