You invest in expensive serums, creams and masks - but your skin remains impure, dry or irritated? Perhaps the problem is not in your products, but in something that you use every day but never question: your tap water.

Hard minerals, chlorine and other invisible substances can block the effectiveness of your skincare products or even put additional strain on your skin. Time to find out how your water affects your skin and what you can do to finally make your skincare really work.

How Water Affects Your Skincare

1. Hard minerals can clog your skin

Tap water often contains high amounts of calcium and magnesium – so-called “hard” minerals. These substances can build up on the skin and thus:

❌ Clogging pores: Residues on the skin can block the absorption of your care products.
❌ Promote impurities: Deposits mix with sebum and dirt – perfect conditions for pimples.
❌ Weaken your skin barrier: Your skin loses moisture faster, becomes drier and irritated.

Especially in sensitive or acne-prone skin, hard minerals can be the cause of persistent problems.

2. Chlorine destroys the skin's own moisture balance

In Germany, chlorine is added to disinfect the water – but it is anything but ideal for your skin.

❌ It dries out the skin: Chlorine not only removes bacteria, but also natural oils that protect your skin.
❌ It can cause redness & irritation: Sensitive skin often reacts with irritation or itching.
❌ It affects the pH value of your skin: An unbalanced pH value can make your skin more sensitive to external influences.

Many people only notice after switching to filtered water that their skin is significantly less dry or irritated.

3. Invisible impurities sabotage your skincare

Even though German tap water is subject to strict regulations, it may contain small amounts of microplastics, drug residues or heavy metals.

❌ Microplastics can promote inflammation and disrupt the skin barrier.
❌ Traces of medications or pesticides could have long-term effects on skin health.
❌ Metallic residues can cause oxidative stress on the skin.

Although these substances are not directly visible, they can affect your skin – especially if you clean your face with unfiltered water every day.
