Ease your eczema symptoms

Just as limescale is a blight on your shiny surfaces, eczema is essentially the same on your skin. And while it is physically unpleasant – from its appearance to the constant itching and scratching sufferers endure – there’s an emotional toll too.

Hard water is just no good for eczema sufferers. Indeed, research has shown that it not only worsens the symptoms but can also lead to developing the condition through the damaging effects of hard deposits on the skin. You need to use more soap and shower gel, scrub your skin harder and for longer, and once you factor in the eczema treatments you use to keep the condition under control, you’re always fighting a losing battle with hard water.
