Explainer: How hard water affects your hair and skin – and what can help

Water is the one part of a shower nobody thought to question. You research the shampoo, read the ingredient list on the back of the shower gel, and then you rinse all of it off with whatever comes out of the tap.

He prescribed physiotherapy, which didn’t help her much,...

How China’s ‘enchanting’ farms became a draw for foreign tourists
