Can anyone recommend a face wash and a shampoo for hard water? I'm getting dry itchy skin and scalp all the time.

I live in a hard water area and have found my skin and scalp have got dry and itchy too since we moved here.

I’ve found Garnier ultimate blends Oat Shampoo & conditioner really helps, and Superdrug’s B Cleanse Melting Balm.

I live in a hard water area and have given up on face wash. I now use cleansing milk with a cotton pad. My skin feels so much better.

Not sure about shampoo but as PP suggested, something with oat milk is soothing.

I use Joico Kpac clarifying shampoo about once a month to remove the mineral build up. It leaves my hair lovely and soft but the downside is that it fades my hair colour a little.

Ds gets itchy scalp and skin from the water. Moogoo products have a been great for him.

Thank you all! As a start I'll go try that shampoo and some cleansing milk.

I might give this a try a week before getting my coloured so I'm less fussed about fading

I use a microfibre face cloth with water and most solid shampoos seem to work.
