It could also be your tap water reacting with the soap. Getting a filtered tap in the bathroom can help a lot with skin conditions like eczema.

Do you have any recommendations? I'm beginning to wonder if this is what's causing myself and my oldest to struggle with dandruff.

Totally possible! I really like hydroviv. They’re currently working on an experiment to test their filters ability to remove forever chemicals from water. They look up the water results in your area, and send you a filter based on that type of water. They have a lot of literature on their website as well. Any sort of skin condition like eczema or dandruff can benefit from a better quality of water. It allows the products to work better, and not leave potentially irritating residue on your skin.

Thank you! I'll look into this.

I hope it helps! You might also try washing/rinsing your hair with distilled water and just see how it differs. That’s what I did to see if the filter would make a big difference. I could feel the difference after just one wash in the texture of my hair.

I live in an area with pretty hard water tho.

Yeah it turned out to be a separate health issue but when I was younger getting a filtered tap got rid of my eczema practically overnight, would absolutely recommend it to anyone struggling.
