Not sure if its change of water or the heat but I recently started getting acne on my face. Wondering if anyone else noticed this when they moved here. My diet & health is the same so the only thing that changed was my location.
Yes, well my acne got worse when I moved here in Feb from FL. I have struggled with acne for 30 years now off and on. I have noticed it to be more severe than it has been in years since we moved.
I hope it settles down soon. Dont have an answer as to why it is worse.
Good to know I am not the only one who noticed this problem. Its been a couple of months since I moved here & this problem started very recently. I will consider the water filter for shower. I live in Durham. Any comments on the water quality?? I will try to look online but I find this forum to be most helpful when it comes to info about the area.

I heard that the water here is hard and wrecks havoc on folks' skin - my friend who moved here from Virginia says her skin AND her daughter's broke out when they moved here. Try a shower filter.

I live in Durham, did not develop acne after moving here - water is fine for me. Guess you need to see a dermatologist.
I have noticed my skin has gotten worse since moving here, but never equated it to moving!
DD just moved here from FL and says our water is damaging her skin-it gets red and blotchy. It did when she came to visit too.
I never had acne before except in my teens so it was surprising for me. Checked with my doc today & she said its probably the hot weather. VA was atleast 10deg cooler than here. Hopefully it goes away in a few weeks. Will try a shower filter.
