Skin Care, Anti-Aging and Health Tips and Advice

Water can irritate skin and bring on breakouts, redness and inflammation.

Skin can be irritated by tap water that contains heavy metals such as lead, zinc, magnesium, copper, and iron, which double as free radicals. Heavy metals convert the skin’s natural oils into a waxy, gland-blocking substance, resulting in acne, blackheads, enlarged pores, redness, and irritation, and may exacerbate skin conditions like rosacea.

Water may also contain calcium (the element that makes water “hard” or “soft”) and can cause dull, dry skin and hair. To prevent flare-ups and redness, use a cleanser that contains a chelator (an ingredient that blocks the action of magnesium and calcium) or a waterless cleanser that allows you to skip the water altogether.
