How Well Water Effects Sensitive Skin
Often well water is very hard, which can be challenging for those with sensitive skin. Hard water is extremely alkaline and contains a high content of minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium that collects in ground water from contact with rocks and soil. This can wreak havoc on the skin, creating dryness due to small mineral deposits being left on the skin, which leech away moisture and natural oils causing flakiness and itchiness.
