I’m always so pleasantly surprised at the diversity of subjects you cover in your videos, and usually it’s something I have been wondering about! Thank you for all the hard work on your excellent content!☺️
Me too as always on time whenever I'm wondering about something and have query Dr. DRAY on to the rescue
Wow, amazing amazing information.
When it comes to skin care, Dr. Dray is simply the best one on RUclips
Period.
Depends on what area of skincare you're interested in. For me:
Real-world reasonableness and chemistry understanding? Lab Muffin Beauty Science.
Very dry acne-prone skin, Asian beauty (and some western), serums and other steps outside of the bare basics, and interesting ingredients outside of primarily actives? I like Alice in the Rabbit Hole.
Cruelty-free vegan alternatives? (and general stuff) Cassandra Bankson.
Various interesting Japanese products? Tina Tanaka Harris.
As far as straight to the point, nigh no-thrills, safe (sometimes excessively so), back to basics, Dermatology-recommended information... absolutely Dr Dray, she's awesome in this area.
If you've never felt soft water, it's weird to get used to because it's almost like you rinsed the soap off your body but it still feels slippery. It's not inherently good or bad, just different. Where I live all well water is soft water.
Before I moved out of my parents about 3 1/2 years ago my mom said that her water was hard she thought and well water was bad. My skin was soo soft living there. I moved to a hard water apartment and its TERRIBLE- Im like mom... your well water was amazing
Just moved to New Mexico where our water quality has consistently been measured as “far beyond the threshold for what is considered the most extreme level of hardness”
RIP to my remaining hair strands - all both of them.
I laughed at both of them because it’s so true
@@CatharsisByProxy
We moved to west Texas. 2 hours from New Mexico.
I was losing my hair but I installed a shower water softener and it slowed down some.
It's good. The best.
After I get out of the shower, I do a final rinse on my facial skin. I put distilled water (cheap and mineral free) into a spray bottle. I spray my face until wet, then spray a cotton pad and gently wipe my face. Works great!
Me too!
how about when you are cleansing in the sink? do u do it too?
@@danieln704 yes
a final rinse w/ distilled bottled water doesn't get rid of the scum that's already precipitated. you need to rinse with mildly acidic water to dissolve the scum. or select shampoos that are mildly acidic, whose formulation already accounts for the slight alkalinity of most local water sources.
What are some acidic shampoos you recommend? Besides the ones she shows in here
I live in Los Angeles. Very hard water here! But I’ve noticed the water up on San Francisco is really lovely. It’s from the Hetchy Hetch dam in Yosemite, and it’s really something special.
Omg visiting LA I noticed how bad and frizzy my hair looked…the water is soo hard!
Agreed! I’m in San Francisco and our water is great!
We just moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles😿😿😿
Yess! I live in SF and every time I go to LA my skin gets dry AF. So I use drinking water to wash my face :(
Heather fo, lol my spouse just told me that.. Those exact words. I am in temecula ca, hard water, and he was born in San Fran and just mentioned the mountain water that supplies San Fran. That city is a dump now due to Democratic policy. So sad. It used to be such a great place. To be exact, it's called Hetch hetchy.
I would recommend buying a filter for your shower, these don't last much because hard water begins to build up here too but it is good for at least 6 months.
Oh that would be perfect for us since we are renting. Do you have a recommendation? I was looking at the bead ones that are shower heads, but they seem gimmicky? And theres one called Aqua something.. that is metal and contains a legit filter inside that you hook between your original shower head and the pipe.
I like Dr. Dray's no-nonsense, logical, scientific, research-based approach. It's refreshing to hear her speak and think as she speaks.
I live in FL and I'm constantly suffering with dermatitis somewhere on my chest or face, never realized it could be the water. Thank you so much for this information, totally going to look into these solutions. I really appreciate what you do, thank you!
I live on the East Coast. All this time I thought I was falling apart. I'm pretty sure my (diagnosed by my primary doctor) contact dermatitis/eczema all this time is just from hard water and taking way too hot of showers. I took a few years but I gradually started using less hot water. Your skincare tips really help me keep my issue in check instead of bugging my already over worked doctor.
I'm feeling guilty about sitting (or should I say showering) in the comfy 15%! I was born and raised in MA..and never had any water issues. However, I lived in Idaho for about a year once. What a difference in that horrible water! It drove my skin crazy with itch. But the worst part was my hair. I'm mildly embarrassed to admit buying 4 gallons of spring water per week to wash my hair with in the sink! Your hair looks super shiny Dr. Dray, the nail polish is everything, and your eyes seen particularly twinkly today! Happy new week talk to you soon!
Boston has fine water but start going west and it’s hard AF
I am originally from Haverhill. How about you?
Just got to Idaho a month ago...... that's why I'm watching this video.😭😭😭 Well water... guessing excess magnesium and calcium. Holy shit, my skin is going crazy!
I live in South America and the water is really hard, after a month you can see the build up in faucets. From an early age I realized bathing would make my skin itchy and have rashes, and product availability is really limited. Switching to baby stuff was really a game changer and my hair and body looks really healthy.
I didn’t even know this was a thing until I moved for a bit from the Midlands of England to London in the southeast and it was dreadful! I’ve never had such bad hair and skin (my KP was at its worse - so, so itchy) and you’d just see all this limescale completely encrusted in the kettle (didn’t realise it was something I needed to check until I noticed bits of white stuff in my tea). The filters you can buy are expensive to replace every few months but definitely worth it when the water is that hard!
I live in Edinburgh, Scotland where the water is extremely soft. In fact it was voted the best water for a bubble bath 😂 and there's a new campaign encouraging everyone to top up water bottles with tap water because it's so safe. I notice the difference in hard/soft water when I travel to London. It's horrible, i won't drink tap water when i'm there.
Also you don’t have synthetic fluoride - derived from discharge of fertilizer and aluminum industry added to 85% of water supplier here in the US. It is law to state derivative/source of the fluoride of state water suppliers by county/city here in the US, but nobody I know is aware when I bring it up (I live in CA). San Diego County fought it for years but lost recently and it’s in their water too now 😥
Imagine taking a bubble bath and the water doesn't smell or isn't too hard. New goal: Visit and take a bubble bath in Edinburgh, Scotland. lol
Wow. I cannot get first to save my life! 😆
We have always had a water softener. Makes a huge difference! 💜
That is a pretty cool necklace you are wearing. 💕
Have a happy Monday Dr Dray and everyone watching! 🎉🙌👋😁
Happy Monday
Do you mind sharing name of water softener. Thanks
@@adorableparakeets3608 not at all! If you aren't in Canada it may not help you, but it is a Petwa. There may be an American counterpart if you are in the US. It has served us well over the years. 🙂
@@melfuz thank you 😊
@@adorableparakeets3608 😊👍
Thank you! Yes I’m that person using so much shampoo trying to get lather and then taking forever trying to wash it out of my long hair. This helps! Love your outfit today! 💕💕
I'm in Oregon and we have soft water, some of the best in the nation/world. It tastes better than bottled water too. Feeling blessed!
Hi, may I ask where in Oregon? I've been thinking of living out there in the future.
@@thesynthesis7773 I'm south of Portland in Eugene area 🙂
@@kirstenrawding Awesome, Thank you. 😊
Malibu C brand makes hard water wellness shampoo + conditioner that is AMAZING. They also make in salon treatments called “Malibu crystal gel” that we can do as stylists to help remove the build up. I’ve literally seen green and rust colored buildup come off blonde hair. It immediately changes the texture of the hair for the better! It’s amazing the difference between clarifying shampoo (removing product buildup) and cheating shampoo (removing mineral deposits) ! Anyone struggling look them up, and/or ask your stylist about the products !

On a holiday to Italy our time in Rome was the best my hair has ever looked and felt!! The water was so soft that l stopped using hair conditioner!! One of the many things that l love when visiting Italy🇮🇹 😎
😊🍁
Unfortunately, not all Italy is so blessed 🙈 Where I live (Northern IT) it's a mess, lucky me 😂 However, don't let this stop you from visiting again, we have gorgeous Alps (and yummy food) to offer here 🤗
I needed this… I’m from Iceland so I’m used to extremely soft water, I recently moved abroad to a country with hard water and my skin has been struggling so much 😩
quite literally have been losing my mind over this topic for the last year. thank YOU!!!!
I moved to Florida a few years ago and have awful scalp and hair issues that I never had before. it took me a few years to even realize that I was from the water but where I used to live had hard water also so I can definitely testify to it being way worse in Florida!! Water softeners are a must!!
Now I know why my face is breaking out! I have had perfect facial skin my whole life but just moved to FL and my skin does not feel clean and am having small break outs around my forehead.
@@loriwise3177 it’s really bad here! After several years I’m even having scalp issues. I recently bought a shower head filter but for face washing I just wash my face normally and then spray with a filtered water spray before drying. I don’t know for sure that this alone stopped my acne but I know it didn’t hurt! Ideal would be to get a whole house filter but these are some things that might help more immediately. I hope it gets better!!
@@Criticalbeauty411but water stick shower filter with the kdf filter in the site, thank me later
Hard water is the worst! I really appreciate this info. Thanks!
I agree
Hi Dr. Dray.My Derm Dr. friend (I'm not her patient) told me to rinse my face and hair with distilled water because we most likely have hard water which as she put it "has a lot of gunk in it".OMG what a difference that made to my face and hair.And I love how cheap a gallon of distilled water is.
Thanks for this recommendation
Living in the woods with our own well, this is the video that I’ve been waiting for!
Same! I am forever struggling with well water and things it does to my blonde hair and skin. What a pain!
I’m so late to this video, but I am in Michigan and over the past 9 months have suffered an insane amount of hair loss and breakage due to our hard water. My hair is past my butt so you can imagine this has been quite devastating, my once medium density hair now insanely thin. I was using using biolage during those 9 months. I wish I’d never touched it. I recently bought Wella’s fusionplex line, the shampoo, conditioner, and the intense hair mask. During my first shampoo with it, even while rinsing the shampoo from my hair I could feel how much smoother my hair was already. Seriously I’m in love, I cannot express how good this stuff is. My husband came home from work and out of nowhere "omg your hair looks better than it has all year, did you do something different? It’s shiny and smooth again" (again, from 1 wash, I didn’t even use the hair mask) the fact he noticed when he doesn’t even notice a shade change in my hair when I color it lol that should tell you everything. Also ion (sold at Sallys beauty supply) has a shampoo formulated for hard water and it’s really good too!
This is so incredibly helpful - thank you. Was just doing maintenance on my water softener and iron filter today to improve my water.
This makes me miss GA so much. When I moved to TX my hair and skin went crazy and water softeners are expensive- well least my parents said so. TX water is horrible.
i don't have hard water but i have friends in other cities that do and when i visit, my blonde hair goes sooo brassy. I find when i come back home and i do a water/apple cider vinegar rinse and a good moisturizing conditioner REALLY helps.
Raleigh, North Carolina has soft water, as does most of the state. Lucky us!
I grew up in upstate NY state until I was 13, and our water came from a well. I clearly remember my dad regularly changing the filters for the water softener. I’m glad that’s something I don’t have to worry about here.
Have a great day! When I visited Europe for a few weeks I was shocked at how hard the water was in some specific areas, especially France. Nice to drink though😅
Yeah. I live in Sweden (in the north of Sweden) and we have hard water.
Yup our water is awful in England
Why would you want to drink hard water?
@@jetsofaqua2206 only in the south
Mountainous regions tend to have cleaner water aye, Paris water tastes like shit, Clermont Ferrand water tastes like… well yk
I used to live in Madrid and I never had to do anything to my hair, I would take a shower with drugstore shampoo and let it air dry and it would be “ok”. Since I moved to Florida the struggle is real! My hair is spooky on a daily basis 🤦🏻♀️
Feeling fortunate to be in the 15% "soft water club", in Melbourne (Australia (not...Florida) region. Especially because I have lightened blonde hair, which I definitely don't want to go brassy.
Thankfully, my hair doesn't turn green with chlorine either; however I am going to make a solution for my skin & hair, to neutralise the chlorine from the local swimming pool water. I will add the correct proportion of vitamin C powder to distilled water in a spray bottle. It will be more convenient for me to spray my hair, face and body with that after swimming and then showering and doing my skincare routine at home.
👱♀️❤
Good day Dr Dray! What I want for Xmas?….a soft water system 🎄🎁
Same
@@stephanied6711 😍
Same!
@@AllyKit 😍
i used to live in Florida and I guess my campus had water softeners but now that I live in upstate NY it's sooo bad and my skin and hair have suffered so much thank you for your tips!
I needed this! Thank you! My mom and I have natural gray hair. She has a water softener. I don’t. Her hair always looks so pretty and silver. I struggle with the yellow in my hair on the daily. You can only use so much purple shampoo. 😃
Have you checked out Erica Henry Johnston's channel? She focuses on gray hair.
@@db-gb5xi no I haven’t. I will tho! Thank you!
Thanks. I've recently been researching shower attachment water filters/softeners but there is a lot of confusion. From what I gather, a shower head filter can’t soften water properly. As Watergilter spot states" Showerhead filters might work well initially, but they will not have much longevity without the sodium ions’ frequent regeneration. The only way to continually regenerate the sodium in water softeners is by immersing them in robust brine solution, which shower water softeners are not always capable of handling. Without the regenerating process of sodium, the system essentially becomes useless."
I'd love to know if there are any showerhead water softeners that have solved this problem and actually work long-term.
Did you ever find one?
Any update on what works?
If you made a video of more product recommendations for hard water that'd be awesome! This is a great reference to start! 🥰
She's got a few more videos on hard water. She also got videos on clarifying shampoos.
What I have been doing to combat the hard water concern, while showering, is to use cold/cool water for less than 10 minutes and, for the hair, wash twice a week with only distilled water. Also, a apple cider vinegar/distilled water rinse once a week. This regiment seems to help.
do you do the vineger rinse?
Yeah FL hard water is the worst! Also, it's prohibitively expensive to get a soft water system, so shower head systems work best for us.
I have very sensitive skin and the water where I live is unbelievably hard. I finally broke down and purchased the best shower filtering system that I could.
I was really struggling with dry skin, miserable with it. My hair was damaged, broken and started falling out almost as bad as when I had chemo many years ago.
The filter I bought reduces the calcium, lime, magnesium and chlorine out of my tap water then goes one step further and infuses water with vitamins A, C and E.
It was pricey but the results are worth it. And when you think of at long last, being comfortable in your own skin as well as reducing the amount of various hair and skin products necessary, I’m OK with a $60 expense.
Could you tell me what system you have? Thank you
What was the filter used
I moved from Chicago to Tampa a year ago. The water is very hard and wreaks havoc on my hair and skin 😩
I section my hair with clips before getting in the shower. Shampooing in sections helps decrease some of the tangles. And leave-in conditioner or spray is a must in order to brush through post-shower hair!
Product Recommendation!!!!
Color Wow “Dream Filter”.
Pre-shampoo mineral remover.
Before we got the water softener install in our home in FL this helped my hair a lot. Those deposits alter your highlights along with giving your hair a straw like quality. Water softeners are the only way to safe your skin and hair. They protect your pipes. Bathrooms tubs and showers are a breeze to clean. Laundry comes out white and soft. Huge saving in body cleansers and cleaning products. Also Dr is so correct about skin conditions. When we lived in Phoenix ( another nasty water zone) installing the softener helped our son’s eczema.
There is also a brand called Malibu C that makes a shampoo and conditioner and treatments specifically to remove hard water build up from the hair. I believe it's also fragrance free.
Edit: it's also cruelty free and vegan
To to go
Where do you buy it?
I bought a Kinetico water softener. Let me tell you its a game changer. A little pricy but worth it. I really did noticed a big change in my skin and in my laundry. So soft now. I have very sensitive skin along with eczema. So it has been a struggle for me. BUT DR. Dray you have been such a big help! I work alot of hours and getting to the Dr office is not on my to do list when you own your own business. I know I know! But I do get great advice from your show. I usually watch your utube channel on my TV at home late at night and thats under my husband name oh and he would like to know if you would consider doing episode's on mens skin health. like shaving advice on how to not break out or turn beet red after a shave. Lol But I am a faithful follower of your show. Thank you! Keep up the great work!
I have been needing this video!! I kept thinking I had dandruff. Thank you 😊
I live in Thailand where the water is extremely hard. After getting out of the shower, my body is covered in white, chalk-like film. I then spend 15 minutes wiping off the residue with alcohol mixed with Johnson & Johnson oil skin toner.
Happy Monday, Dr. Dray and to all beautiful ladies 🌸🤍🎀
Greetings Maricel Gundayao hope u r well n Happy Monday😀👍💜….
Happy Monday

Happy Monday Dr Dray!
Happy Monday
water softener system is the best thing i got when i bought my house
This was a much needed video! Thanks Dr. Dray! I'm an American who lives in London and I've been wondering why the same skincare I used in the US is not working for me here, more specifically why it's pilling up when I apply everything in the morning. It doesn't happen so much at night because I double cleanse but in the morning i'm just washing my face with water. I think the stuff I use at night is not acting well with the hard water and gets glued to my skin. So when I put on my morning skincare it's reacting to what was left from the evening routine. I guess this means I need to use micellar water in the mornings to remove the skincare from previous night which is not ideal but must be done.
These were some awesome tips. This kind of content literally NEVER expires and is so important. Thank you! And if you ever need to relax, I can help! 💖
I've never lived anywhere that didn't have some of the hardest water in the US. Using a hard water shampoo (I get the giant one at Sally's) once a week and Dial body wash occasionally helps me so much. I literally could feel the film come off the first shower after two months of itching. Highly recommend and budget friendly for renters
Which dial body wash?
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the little hard water attachments they sell to put on shower heads. What are your thoughts of those? I’ve always been skeptical. Yup! I am in Florida and the struggle is real.
It's a much awaited video for me , I am currently suffering from hair and skin problems related to hard water , thanks for video 😊
After switching to soft water, my dandruff is completely gone and my KP has reduced significantly.
I've never thought about hard water affecting skin and hair at all but I will now! I get annoyed at the scale all over my taps and plughole though. Very hard water here in the south of England. Hope you're well Doc x
I lived in a house with well water and the stains it leaves on things slowly over time do not come off easily. It takes potentially dangerous chemicals to get rid of these stains especially if you are like me and hate scrubbing. BTW, those stains are made of some rather hard minerals so scrubbing doesn't work so well!!
Hi Dr Dray I live in Scotland and we have soft water. Whenever I travel anywhere my skin and hair go a bit mental. I already have rosacea and eczema, so hard water is not my friend. it makes my hair and skin even drier than it already is. I think I would have to have a water softener in my shower, if I lived in a hard water area. On holiday I rinse my face with bottled water when cleansing, to try not using hard water on my face. I'm always glad to be showering at home once I get back. Many other areas of the UK do have hard water though, especially the south of England. I take a towel and a pillowcase on holiday to avoid using the hotel ones on my face at all. I also have to be really careful what laundry detergent I use and taking my own stuff helps with that. I pack microfibre towels to use when I'm away for my body too. It's a struggle lol and eats up some baggage allowance, but it's worth it not to be scratching and miserable whilst away. Best wishes.
Literally any celtic person going to England, the water, the air, the smell… crossing that border is an experience in itself 😂😂
@@pethaudiddorol Lol
In Kentucky, we have humidity out the yang yang, but we got good water. Thank goodness. So helpful, as always!
Thanks so much for these tips. I have hard water and it definitely can take a toll on skin and hair. Happy Monday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a restful evening. 💖
I had COVID that lasted a good 11 days. I thought I was ok until I began to lose more hair than usual. Following some research, I am realizing it’s from the strain my body went through during that time period and also due to the shampoo that I was using. So I began doing meditation, yoga daily and changed my shampoo and conditioner to littleextrraa coooconion anti hair fall kit. And today i dont face any hair fall.
Thank you for this video! I'm feeling so much more at peace.
I just moved to an area with hard water in the last few weeks and it's killing me off 😭 it tastes bad, my skin is dry and itchy, plus my psoriasis is going all kinds of crazy...
Hope these tips help
Same thing happened to me.. psoriasis due to hard water and dry climate. i started using the jergens leave in moisturizer at the end of shower and once a week scalp moisturizing conditioner and it helped me a lot.
Who knows the best soft water brands/products to buy?
I love this topic! Thank you - we live rurally in New England and our water is PARTICULARLY hard! And I have long hair so it’s very much affected by the water. (Aka frizzy and porous)
we have hard water here where i am in the UK and my red hair often goes brassy/brittle. I will try that Living Proof shampoo, its cruelty free too. Thankyou! hard water is nightmare when have to descale things, clean etc. Your necklace and bracelet is really pretty colours!
Thank you for all this information! If you have additional products you would recommend I am sure many of us would love a few more options for color-treated, blonde AND drier hair, for example!
Hair stylist here with some advice if you want products to check out… Look up Malibu C hard water wellness and/or blonde wellness shampoos & conditioners. They are available direct online. Also check out Olaplex No. 8 moisturizing mask with hyaluronic acid + ceramides to moisturize and smooth dry frizzy hair. Also available direct online from the company or through Sephora!
@@beyolina Thank you so much for this helpful information!!!
Hard water really hurts my skin. Thanks for this. I have been wondering how to help my skin. My skin is literally so sore every time I shower. I suffer for like 2 days because the water is so hard
me too :(
A water filtration system might help. I hope you find an affordable solution that works for you. You can get your water tested to see it’s quality.
I agree. After installing a filter in our shower head our skin felt much better. Thanks for the suggestion Christina. 👍🏽
@@vaniasetti7753 what filter? Pls help
Ugh Florida water, it is so yucky! Thanks for the tips! Love Marnie, she has such great style tips. Happy Monday!💕
I keep a large squeeze bottle of distilled water next to my sink to wash my face and hands with. Works wonders.
Great idea. I'm going to do this!
@@Downy22 you will love it and notice a difference!
Where I live water is hard, but I've vacationed in places where water is soft and I just can't get used to it. It feels as if soap never washes off, it makes everything so slippery. Maybe it is an illusion, I don't know, but I find myself washing longer because of that. I wonder if there is a workaround.
I'm so glad you brought up this topic! Do you have any recommendations for conditioners to use with these shampoos or something to moisturize the scalp after using stronger shampoos?
My daily dosis of Dr. Dray. How could anyone say no to that? Have a blessed day 🌟♥️💕🤗
Thanks for watching
DR.Dray if possible please make a video on the best showerhead free for hard water.There are so many out there and a water softener for the entire home is a bit pricey.
Yes! I’ve been considering the T3 but it has mixed reviews.
There are best of lists for water softener shower heads.
@@db-gb5xi I saw the list ,but there are mixed reviews.
Can someone send me the list?
Are the hair ingredients you mentioned good to use everyday? What shampoos would you recommend for someone who washes their hair everyday living in a hard water area?
I might check the products and see what they say about using their products daily. I might also check her video on clarifying shampoo and her video on 2020 hair care favorites.
I love Ponds cold cream. It doesnt make my skin breakout if I only double cleanse when i wear makeup.
Great information on hard water!! I just love your necklace and bracelet very pretty!! Have a great day.
Where I live in Portugal, the water is considered to be moderately hard (61-120 mg/L CaCO3) but I would say it tends to be softer than harder. I really notice a difference when I travel to places with hard water. My skin and hair get drier and my skin also tends to get irritated more easily.
Great tips. When I was getting my hair colored, it always went brassy. I wish I'd known then that hard water may have played a roll.
Thanks for this because my doctors have been dismissing us and all my neighbours are having the same issue in our apartment it’s so stressful 😢😢
Everytime I have a question about skin or hair care, I go to RUclips and search “Dr Dray xyz” and there’s always at least 2 videos covering the topic. I love you Dr. Drew. All of your recommendations have been doing me wonderfully, I’m about a month or 2 into using products and routines you recommend/ do and my skin and hair are a lot healthier already. Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you so much for talking about this.. will definitely try your suggestions for shampoos as I’ve noticed my color turns brassy very quickly !
I have lived in Florida for 5 years but just moved to New Mexico... I thought Florida water was hard until now! my hair and skin have been a mess, and shortly after I moved here my blonde started turning brassy. needless to say this video was spot on for me
More cleanser leaves more residue and buildup on hair and applies to laundry detergent too ~ ironically Less is More
Adding vinegar to laundry load has been used as water softener for years
That was so interesting. I moved to Iceland from Germany some years back and Here in Iceland the water apparently is super soft. I noticed that first with appliances like my kettle where there is no build up. Then when I went on holiday to Germany my hair would be absolutely horrible for about a week, itching scalp and all but that usually goes down again. Never thought it would affect the effectiveness of shampoo and skincare itself though
I didn't realize that number was so high great video thanks
I love France but its water is a misery! I have to dry my shower box otherwise it will get all dirty (French don’t call it dirty but yes, for me, it is). I’m not surprised why in France we have so many products for skincare. Hard water can be part of the reason.
Your nails are gorgeous!! I’m a lover of the classic red polish nails. : )
Thank you for this video and have a good day!
I’ve been outside of Texas once my whole life, drove over to Destin, Florida. I swear the sun shines diff there too. I got several freckle moles across the tops of my shoulders. I was @ the beach for about 30 mins, granted it was during my pre-skincare days, w/ only light spf & shade. It’s the 1st & only time that’s happened to me. My sun damage freckles are light colored across my cheeks that happened over time. But these are dark, actual flat moles & showed up within a week or so after.
Happy Monday!!😊✨
Happy Monday
I’m in Florida and have a well, so I definitely need a softener. Thanks Dr D
I appreciated your comments regarding eczema and hard water. Thank you!
Love my softener. Won't have a house without one. So funny to try to convince people with hard water that soft water is better for skin, hair, laundry and dishes. They always say it feels slimey, but it's just clean! I'm a bit of a fanatic 😄
This video is such perfect timing! We are military and just moved to the UK and OMG…the water is like the absolute hardest I’ve ever encountered! Just ordered a water stick shower filter as we are in a rental. Praying it works!! 🙏🏻 Dr. Dray…could hard water cause breakouts?? My skin got extremely oily here and just is continuously congested and breaking out…
Yes, hard water definitely makes acne worse. I would have clear skin and then our water softener would act up or break and my skin would be a mess.
Also when going to Chicago, that has horribly hard water, I would return home with breakouts.
@@joelleaittama1416 so the only thing that would help is a water softener? Can I ask…do you have oily skin? My skin got super oily and then came all the breakouts. 😩
@@stacywolfe2911 Yes, a water softener is a must. I have oily skin, and the hard water would make it more oily. Maybe because of the cleansers with sulfates.
We also have rust in our water, and that is especially irritating, so we have a rust remover along with the water softener. You can get rust filters with your water softener too.
I would use the oil based cleansers or a balm, like Dr. Dray suggested, because I think the big problem is not being able to get your sunscreen or makeup off properly, and that just leads to more congestion.
Then do a second cleanse with a sulfate free cleanser.
I would also spray my skin with a distilled water after washing. Not sure if that is actually something, but it worked for me, when traveling.
@@joelleaittama1416 oh thank you for all the info! I just started using distilled water to wash my face too! Hopefully the water stick we ordered for our shower works. 😊
@@stacywolfe2911
Yes that should help. 😊
We have VERY hard water here in SoCal. I appreciate these tips and suggestions.
Wonderful tips, thanks so much. Have a nice day🎆
happy Monday everyone xo
Happy Monday
Dr. Dray, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to educate all of us! You are so kind and appreciated. 💜
Not trying to be a downer, I'm just sharing this in hopes it can help. I'm currently trying to solve my hard water issues and if this can help anyone who sees this, let me tell you that those filters you screw on you shower head DON'T WORK. I purchased one and after finding no real difference, I did some more research only to find out that they can filter some particles but not hard water. I'm still looking for something I can use (as someone who rents) to help with hard water but man its rough. Thanks Dr Dray for making this video though! I'm watching all your videos about hard water to see what I can do to salvage my hair and skin :)
Yes I have hard water. Thank for talking about it
First! Hi Dr. Dray. I really appreciated your prescience last week 😆
I was planning to comment something about “alternatives to retinol that also boost collagen in the skin” and boom - it was the subject of last Tuesday’s video.
Similarly, I have been wondering and wanting to ask you about the behind-the-scenes calculus of your content creation, and you addressed some of that in last Saturday’s blog (batch recording, batch editing, hiring an editor vs. not, your channel when you first started vs. now, etc.).
Thank you! ♥️
I use clay in powder, mix it with water, and put it on my roots only, leave for some time, and rinse it. I believe the clay deeply cleanses my skin and works best when I leave it to get dry. But be careful when rinsing it off, soften it first with water so that your hair doesn't get broken. Also, it is okay to use a bit of clay powder mixed with water and shampoo for a peeling effect on your scalp. 🕊 God bless! In Jesus Name!
