Why does tap water feel different depending on the area?

296 views

I live somewhere where our tap water feels kinda slimy. Every time my relatives from out-of-state visit our home, they always say that it feels like they haven’t completely washed their hands. As if there’s still soap on their hands.

I’ve noticed that in other states and countries, the tap water isn’t slimy at all. This is bad news cause I have dry skin and the water dries out my skin even more. I have no problem with my facial wash that I use on the daily when I’m at home. On vacation, it irritates my face because of the water.

Soft water vs hard water

Hard water has higher mineral content.

Soft water can leave your skin and hair feeling like there is product left behind after a rinse – it just doesn’t bind with soap the way hard water does.
