No. 10: Cheyenne, Wyoming
Cheyenne is one of the least polluted cities in the United States. According to Dr. David Bank, founder and director of The Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery, pollution is one of the most important factors for healthy skin because pollution creates free radicals that damage it. Cheyenne also has moderate humidity (too much can cause sweating which can lead to breakouts, and too little can dry skin and make wrinkles more obvious.)

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.

In a perfect world, we'd all have flawless-looking skin. In reality, few of us are that lucky. However, some of you are fortunate enough to live where the conditions are ideal for skin. We looked at pollution levels, amount of sunshine, tanning beds per capita, humidity, number of smokers, stress, diet and more to find the places best suited for your skin. Check them out, maybe it's time to relocate?
