I'm sure you have one time or the other used some water and after bathing your skin still feel slippery.
The reason why you feel slippery skin after bathing or washing is due to the weak attraction between the soap and the water that has lost its minerals that makes it hard.
As humans, our skin have some light charges that the soap we use bond with. Using or bathing with highly softened water, you will need some large volume water to remove this bond.
In essence, water used for domestic purposes are not meant to be too soft but rather have moderate amount of metal cations.
Increased softness simply means increased sodium concentration because that is the primary thing that makes a water soft.
If water is highly softened, this definitely will have health effect on individuals with hypertension, diabetes and other blood pressure related disease because of the increased sodium concentration.
So as much as it has benefits it also has its advantages hence, the essence of moderation.
