And here’s a fun fact: soft water makes soap lather like crazy. A tiny squirt of shampoo creates a mountain of bubbles. You’ll find yourself using half the product you normally do, and your hands will feel like they’re wearing invisible gloves.

So why is it so slippery? Soft water has its minerals removed—mainly calcium and magnesium. Those minerals are what make hard water leave spots on glasses and that sticky feeling on skin. Without them, water molecules can slide over your skin more freely.
