Aroma Sense as an aid for treating dry skin
Effects of calcareous water on skin and hair
Tap water contains different minerals and their amount can vary. If the water contains a lot of minerals, it is called hard water, which contains e.g. lime which makes the water cloudy and alkaline. Alkaline water, on the other hand, dries the skin faster, so your skin may itch more easily and cause surface dryness.
In skin care, calcareous water can cause dryness due to its high mineral content. This can dry out the skin if not dealt with properly. To prevent this, it is important to use gentle cleansing and moisturizing creams that are specially designed for use with hard water. Also, avoid using harsh soaps or cleansers that can strip your skin of its natural oils.
In hair care, water containing lime can make it difficult for shampoo and conditioner to lather due to its high mineral content. As a result, you may notice that your hair looks duller than usual or feels heavy after washing it with hard water.
Vitamin C has several benefits in skin care
Chlorine neutralisation: Vitamin C neutralises the chlorine in shower water – tested with over 6,000 litres of water.
Softer shower water: Once the chlorine is neutralised, the water does not dry out skin and hair the way chlorinated tap water does.
Moisturising ingredients: The aloe vera and plant glycerin in the aroma cartridges moisturise the skin during the shower.
Is winter drying out your skin? See tips for treating dry skin
If you have dry skin, it is important to take good care of it to maintain healthy and moisturized skin. Some tips for skin care for dry skin include:
Use of the aroma gel cartridge in the shower head: The aroma cartridge releases aromas into the water passing through the shower, which brings fragrance to the shower water. Vitamin C and essential oils pamper your skin, making it soft and fresh-smelling. The shower cares for and moisturises dry skin and hair. Aroma Sense shower heads equipped with a filter also filter harmful minerals and metals from the water, such as aluminum, copper, fluorides and lime.
Avoid hot water: Hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils, so it's best to avoid using hot water when washing your face or showering. Use lukewarm water instead, which is less drying.
Use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser: Avoid using harsh soaps and cleansers. Choose a gentle, moisturizing cleanser that cleanses your skin without drying it out.
Apply moisturizer immediately after showering or bathing: Moisturizing your skin immediately after showering or bathing can help lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Choose a moisturizer designed for dry skin and apply it all over the body. Thanks to the aromas in the shower, the user of Usea Aroma Sense – aroma gel cartridges has been able to reduce the use of moisturizers and oils for skin care.
Protect your skin from the sun: Dry skin is more susceptible to sun damage, so it's important to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when you're outdoors.
Overall, it's important to be gentle with your skin and choose products designed for dry skin to keep it healthy and hydrated.
Water filters improve water quality
Water filters are an important part of any home water system, as they help clean and improve water quality. Tap water is cleaned at water plants, but the cleaning efficiency can vary and not all impurities can be removed from the water. Such impurities can include, for example, drug residues and microplastics. The ph value of water is often changed by adding lime to it.
However, the most common reason for poor quality water is the age, condition and manufacturing materials of the pipelines. In old houses where the plumbing has not yet been repaired, the tap water may contain a lot of iron and the water may be stale. Correspondingly, the quality of well water can change due to the effect of a dry or wet summer.
Various water filters have been developed for cleaning tap water, which clean tap water effectively. Filters remove e.g. lime, iron, copper and other solids, help keep the bathroom cleaner and help remove metals from hair that can negatively affect hair color. Different filters are suitable for different purposes and in this article I will introduce different filters.
