Before blowing your next paycheck at the derm's office or on pricey skin care products, take a closer look at the place you call home. We looked at pollution levels, sunshine and humidity averages, skin cancer, smoking rates, and even tanning salons per capita to determine which U.S. locales could be disastrous for your skin. Did your city make the list?

Skin cancer and smoking rates are through the roof in this Northeast town, and there are a whopping 25 tanning salons for every 100,000 people! Portland may be famous for its historic Old Port district, but if its residents don�t smarten up they could soon be living with old skin. Being a slave to the tanning bed can aggressively speed up your skin�s aging process.

Not a fan of stress breakouts? (Stress raises your level of cortisol, which can affect oil glands and acne.) You may want to avoid Tacoma like the plague, because -- along with 21 tanning salons per capita and a high incidence of skin cancer according to the Center for Disease Control -- it is the most stressed-out city in our country. (Tacomans may find some relief from these top-rated acne-fighting products.)

Macon may be the "Heart of Georgia," but its residents might want to run to the borders for the sake of their pores. With 88 percent average humidity, it is one of the most humid cities in the country. According to Dr. David Bank, founder and director of The Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery, your skin needs some humidity to prevent it from looking dry and dehydrated, but too much can trigger breakouts. When you sweat (which happens often in humid climates) it mixes with oil and dirt, which can clog pores and cause breakouts.

Tampa has above-average sunshine, tropical humidity levels, and a smoking rate of 23.4 percent (the national average is about 20 percent). And though sunny days are a plenty, Tampa folks still flock to tanning salons like they're going out of style! Sorry Floridians, we know you have an awful thunderstorm season in the summer too, but there's really no excuse for the UV worshipping.
