How to Have Softer Skin Through the Winter | Soft Water Solutions

As we go further into the holiday season, it is not uncommon for the cold weather to cause dry skin. Did you know that the culprit of dry hair, skin, or nails may not just be the weather? It may be your hard water! When you wash your hands, brush your teeth, and shower in hard water, the minerals can irritate your skin. Improving your water may turn your dry skin into soft skin.
