No. 9: San Francisco, California Residents in San Francisco are likely to have little sun damage. The city has a very low amount of tanning beds (plus California regulates tanning beds, unlike some other states) and also has a relatively small amount of sunny days. There is a lot of rain, which leads to high humidity, but the weather doesn't vary much throughout the year so skin doesn't have to readjust often. San Francisco also has one of the lowest rates of smokers in the country. Dr. Audrey Kunin, board-certified dermatologist and the founder of DERMAdoctor, says smoking is one of the worst things you can do for your skin because it prevents oxygen from reaching the skin.

Two of my favorite cities are in this group, San Francisco and San Antonio. I'd like to visit all of these cities, but I don't think I want to relocate.

I'm surprised Hawaii's not first, but then again being from Hawaii and having a lot of Asian's there, we naturally have nice skin no matter where we live, which is why we look younger that caucasians. I just hope my English doesn't hurt me...wish I wasn't mixed.. :(
