Acne increased after moving to Thailand? The link to water quality and habits to re-examine
Have you ever felt your skin condition change or that you're more prone to acne since coming to Thailand?
If changing your skincare routine hasn't brought much improvement, a "change in living environment" might be behind it.
One possible factor is "differences in water quality."
Differences in Water Quality Between Thailand and Japan
Japanese water is generally soft, characterized by its mildness and lack of strong taste.
On the other hand, some regions overseas use hard water, which contains more minerals, meaning you are living in a different environment from Japan.
Although water properties vary by region in Thailand, many people notice a difference compared to Japan.

The Relationship Between Water Quality and Skin
The mineral content in water can affect how your skin feels.
For example, some people experience:
・Tightness after washing their face
・Rough skin texture
・Changes in sebum balance
These are some of the differences people feel.
However, skin condition is not determined solely by water; factors such as climate (heat and humidity), diet, and stress are also thought to play a role.
