Temperature/Humidity Survey --- What Works Best

[Guest guest]

I've lowered my a/c temp from 85 to 77 and I've noticed less papules

and pustules -- either or both acne type and rosacea type. I

remember reading that those with adult acne and those with rosacea

have bacteria which behave erratically at higher temperatures and one

of the mechanisms of accutane working was that by lowering the facial

temperature it would enable the bacteria to be less offensive to the

skin.

Combine this with the fact that higher temperatures and higher

humiditiy can cause and exacerbate acne in otherwise normal

individuals (tropical acne) and even in those with mild adolescent

acne and no current acne.

This leads me to believe that there should be an ideal temperature

for promotion of normalisation of skin bacteria. Shall we look to

the paleolithic area in which our ancestors lived and find the

temperatures there??? Or can we just assume its 77 degrees?

What temperatures and humidity (indoors) does everyone find works

best for them???

My experience with heat and humidity:

Last Monday in Chicago it was in the low 80's so I walked (far walk) to the

lake during lunch. I was sweating! Sure enough a hour later I have

pimples or whatever your call them.

Last May I went to Phoenix. I climbed a mountain that was 2,500 ft. high.

It was 105 degrees that day and it took a few hours to climb. I did not

break out at all.

I think its humidity, not heat, that causes break outs.

We all need to move to the west coast. Do any of you live west like say AZ,

CA, NM, etc.? If so, you have break outs or just redness?

I live in Oregon and I do not consider it humid here and I still have little

bumps all over my face
