Is rain OK for skin?

Published in Skin Care 1 min read

Rainwater can be mildly acidic and disrupt the natural pH balance of your skin, potentially leading to irritation, dryness, or breakouts. Hard water can worsen these effects. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to rainwater.

  • Pollutants: Rain in urban areas can carry pollutants that can harm your skin.
  • Hard Water: Hard water contains minerals that can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness.

However, rainwater can sometimes have a positive effect on your skin. It can contain minerals and nutrients that can moisturize and soften your skin.

For optimal skin health, it's best to use clean, filtered water for washing your face and body.
