Hard water contains dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. Those minerals make it harder for water to form a solution with soap, and it leaves behind a scummy residue. ... Not only can soap scum from hard water clog your pores, many people find it also causes them to feel dry, itchy, and irritated.
