Well I'm already getting the dry lips, dry skin, and my clogged pores going away slowly.

What about this one?
http://www.purewater...ingchlorine.htm
My hometowns water doesn't have chlorine in it. It's filtered with chloride and sodium. Where I am now has chlorine and many more minerals

http://www.cityofwes...asp?BlobID=8192 there's a list of the chemicals in the water I have at home. The water hardness is 3.63 and the water hardness in gurnee Illinois is over 8.

 
That one is trying to sell you something. The references also seem to all be about cancer, which is hardly discussed in the article itself. Anyway, if disinfectants wern't added to water, we'd all be constantly ill with bacterial infections.
 
Be careful with what you read on the internet, even if it looks legitimate. Even published, well-intended studies & scientific articles aren't necessarily high quality.
 
If you're absolutely convinced it's the water, just use bottled water as much as possible for the time being.
I'm just updating so far haha. I got home 3 days ago, and I've gotten no new pimples or anything yet. Everything is drying out and healing. I have a lot of clogged pores but I started using a salicylic acne wash, so hopefully in a few weeks they'll go away. I also started eating healthy again and getting sun, so that may have helped as well. Way less stress here too

Your right, but it just seems to make sense too me. Here, my skin doesn't even feel the same, it's ridiculously dry(no matter the moisturizer I use), dull, itches, and acne prone. And it's not just my face. My back, shoulders and legs are getting affected as well and I get dandruff. I've never had any of these problems before I came here, and every single article I've read about the subject, outlines the things I'm experiencing. It has to be the switch in water, as well as the switch of climate (humid and hot to dry and cold)
