But, it seems there's nothing I can do to stop it besides purchasing an air filter for the home (which is inconvenient and out of budget). I also don't wash my face with soap anymore, I don't know if my face is accumulating industrial dust for not washing though because there's no difference. I don't have more acne nor less.</p> <p>I realized that my acne is strongly influenced by the air quality. Whenever I am in a suburb where I can see tons of stars at night, my acne calms down. But once I move to a polluted city, such as Los Angeles, I begin breaking out even though my diet is the same. I currently live in Los Angeles.</p> <p>If anyone here is affected with skin problems due to air pollution, what do you do?</p> <p>By the way what I have is not really "acne", I don't know what it is. It's just sores and bumps.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/145221/dealing-with-air-pollution-for-acne/145304#145304 Answer by Korion for Dealing with air pollution for acne Korion 2012-08-26T14:25:18Z 2012-08-26T14:25:18Z <p>I think it's probably a good idea to focus on thing you can control. Paleo reenactment tends to turn us into freaks, and I think that's a shame. Nutrition and, if necessary, supplements seems to be a better solution here.</p>
