Soft water is better for certain dry skin conditions such as eczema. Softened water feels silkier and makes hair softer and easier to manage. Water softeners work by removing the minerals (calcium and magnesium) that cause the hardness, the process is called ion-exchange.Hence water softener can be used provided the sodium content remains below 200ppm.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
