Skin and hair feel weird after showering most often because of hard water, chlorine, or high mineral content in the supply. Hard water leaves a film of soap scum on your skin and coats hair with mineral deposits, while chlorine dries skin and strips natural oils. A water softener and carbon filter usually solve it.
Common causes
- Hard water leaving soap-scum film on skin
- Mineral coating on hair (often makes hair feel “squeaky”)
- City chlorine drying skin and hair
- High iron content (skin discoloration)
- Sediment in older pipes
