hard water and prevent itchy skin
Itchy skin, irritation, eczema... The effects of hard water on the skin can be painful. Its presence is a trigger for itchy skin after showering or bathing. The mineral crystals in the water adhere to the skin's surface, creating a feeling of tightness and tingling. There's a long-lasting, economical solution to this scourge: La Dauphine.
What are the effects of limescale on the skin?
When hard water is heated, the calcium and magnesium ions that make up limescale combine to form microcrystals. These micro-crystals then deposit on the skin, generating a tingling, itchy sensation. It should be noted that this reaction is all the more pronounced when water is heated to high temperatures, amplifying the amount of limescale deposited on the skin.
Hard water tightens skin
After a shower or bath, hard water has a damaging effect on the skin, causing an unpleasant feeling of tightness. The mineral crystals present in this water adhere to the skin surface, creating an uncomfortable experience. This reaction can lead to various skin problems, such as itching,eczema and sometimes even allergic reactions, altering the overall health of the skin.
Hard water is all the more problematic for infants, whose skin is much more fragile than that of an adult. It can cause severe irritation, just as it can for people with fragile skin.
Hard water attacks the scalp
In addition to its impact on the skin, hard water can also attack your hair, causing annoying capillary problems. Mineral crystals attach themselves to the scalp, creating a feeling of tightness and imbalance.
This can lead to persistent itching, irritation and even problems such as dry, brittle hair. To preserve scalp health, targeted solutions and appropriate care are needed to counter the aggressive effects of hard water.
What are the solutions to hard water and itchy skin?
Short-term natural solutions: aloe vera and body care
Using natural ingredients such as aloe vera is an effective short-term option. Aloe vera, renowned for its soothing and moisturizing properties, offers immediate relief by soothing itchy skin caused by limescale.

However, for a longer-term solution, investing in a system that eliminates limescale may be a good idea.
