Here’s another cool twist: hard water is often more alkaline than your skin. Your skin naturally likes to be slightly acidic—it’s its happy place.
When you shower in alkaline water, it can disrupt your skin’s pH balance, that delicate little ecosystem on the surface. It’s like inviting a rock band into a library—things get chaotic.
This disruption can weaken your skin’s protective barrier, making it easier for moisture to escape and for irritants to get in. So yeah, it’s a double whammy of dryness and potential sensitivity.
