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.
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.
When it comes to skin care, Dr. Dray is simply the best one on TH-cam
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
quite literally have been losing my mind over this topic for the last year. thank YOU!!!!
This is so incredibly helpful - thank you. Was just doing maintenance on my water softener and iron filter today to improve my water.
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!
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!
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! 💖
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 have been needing this video!! I kept thinking I had dandruff. Thank you 😊
Great information on hard water!! I just love your necklace and bracelet very pretty!! Have a great day.
I so love your channel. This is my go to place for super great advice. Thank you 😊 👍🏼💕
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 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 😩
Happy Monday Dr Dray!
Happy Monday
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
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. 😊
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!
Dr. Dray, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to educate all of us! You are so kind and appreciated. 💜
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 !
Chelating
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.
I appreciated your comments regarding eczema and hard water. Thank you!
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?
YES. I needed this!
It's a much awaited video for me , I am currently suffering from hair and skin problems related to hard water , thanks for video 😊
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 !
In Kentucky, we have humidity out the yang yang, but we got good water. Thank goodness. So helpful, as always!
Everytime I have a question about skin or hair care, I go to TH-cam 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
Wonderful tips, thanks so much. Have a nice day🎆
We have VERY hard water here in SoCal. I appreciate these tips and suggestions.
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 🤗
Dr Dray everyday yeah!!!
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
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.
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.
I didn't realize that number was so high great video thanks
I’m in Florida and have a well, so I definitely need a softener. Thanks Dr D
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 😊👍
Just the video I need so helpful!!
Ugh Florida water, it is so yucky! Thanks for the tips! Love Marnie, she has such great style tips. Happy Monday!💕
Great video on hard water! Also, love your jewelry!!
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)
Thanks a million Dr. Dray! This is really invaluable advice!
Hard water is the worst! I really appreciate this info. Thanks!
I agree
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 cant believe you made a post about this! It has been such a problem for me. I actually am getting a water softener installed this week!!!
Can you make a video about what to do/not to do with soft water?? Pleaseeee
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.
Happy Monday!!😊✨
Happy Monday
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.
👱♀️❤
water softener system is the best thing i got when i bought my house
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!
Yes. I live in Florida. I use a hardwater shampoo once a week.
I´m so glad for this video omg
So happy you made this video!! I’m in Florida for almost a year doing travel nursing. My skin has been extremely dry and itchy and I couldn’t figure out why until people at work said Florida has hard water! Do you recommend any facial moisturizers - currently using vanicream facial moisturizer and their facial wash.
Thank you so much!
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.
Gorgeous jewelry! I put a couple drops of vinegar in a quart of water for a final hair rinse. That seems to help.
Happy Monday, Dr. Dray and to all beautiful ladies 🌸🤍🎀
Greetings Maricel Gundayao hope u r well n Happy Monday😀👍💜….
Happy Monday
@@whitneybrown4067 Happy Monday 😀
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!!!
Love this video! May I ask how your mom is? I hope all is well, sorry if that’s too personal but I miss when you both did videos 🤗❤️ you’re the best! Love your voice too 🤩
Thank you! This is very useful
I SO needed this info on hard water. I’m subscribing to you. Any idea how I would go about softening my hard water?
Happy Tuesday 🧡🧡🧡 London has horribly hard water…my skin hates it! Thanks for the tips 🧡
OMG - it’s only Monday 😂😂😂😂😂
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.
This one is a great topic...thanks
Happy monday 🍒🥦🍓
Happy Monday
Love the necklace Dr Dray. Love your channel. Can you do a video on the best anti-aging for your body / can you get Botox in your hands
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
Currently in the boonies of central PA living off WELL WATER 😭 I needed this
Love this video Dr Dray! In Spain we also have hard water and its quality is awful where I live. I've had increasing skin problems and nothing was helping until I focused on the water and protecting my skin barrier and hidration, so with your suggestions I can better round up everything that I do! Should we dry the hard water after the shower and then apply moisturizer or use it on wet skin? I'm currently trying to figure this out... Oh, and is it normal if 1 layer of moisturizer isn't enough for the skin? Thank you so much and the jewelry and it's colors is super beautiful! Have a great week 🙂
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 start to have that feeling of when you are about to finish a book and alredy be fond of caracters. I'll miss the vlogtober. ❤
Hi Dr Dray Good Afternoon!!👻🌻🍀🤸🏽♀️
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 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
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! ♥️
Yes I have hard water. Thank for talking about it
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!
Happy Monday everyone
W Mass and Maine have amazingly soft water. Feels awesome and clothes last longer.
Very helpful !! Thanks ❤
I deal with hard water thanks for the tips ❤️❤️
Yep I live in Florida crazy hard water!!
I love Ponds cold cream. It doesnt make my skin breakout if I only double cleanse when i wear makeup.
Awe your necklace is adorable abs looks so cute on you
Thank you Dr. Dray
Hi Dr. Dray thank you for your videos. Since sodium carbonate softens water would you feel safe putting a washing soda in your bath water? Also would you suggest using a alcohol and witch-hazel free toner in addition to the micellar water?
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.
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
Could you make a video on well water with/without a softener
Im in florida as well
happy Monday everyone xo
Happy Monday
You are the best ever !
