for the last 5 days i was staying in the country like in the middle of nowhere and the air was really clean. i ate crap, i didnt exercise, i got loads of rain on my face, my hair was all over my face. but i didnt get one new spot.
do u think acne could be caused by air pollution (in some cases)?

i totally think that being in polluted areas contributes to acne....of course it's not the cause of acne, but i think it's certainly a factor. i lived in a huge polluted city in a foriegn country for a year and my acne got A LOT worse while i was there...

The answer is much more complicated than your question.
Let's just say that ONE sole factor doesn't cause acne.
the clean air must certainly of helped though
Acne has become more of a problem than ever in past decades, so yes, I think that polluted air makes it worse.

YES, I do think that pollution contributes to acne.
I had beautifully clear skin until I moved to Dallas last May. That's when the breakouts began. I went to college in Arkansas and enjoyed four years straight of clear skin, with just one blemish every other month or so. Now that I live in Dallas my face is a wreck. I'm not sure I can blame everything on pollution, but I'm sure it has a lot to do with it.
I was talking to a friend recently and she said that her acne was terrible when she lived in Houston and now that she's in Arkansas it's much better.
