I have read on ayurveda sites that our skin is constantly breathing in nutrients and oxygen from the air. I have noticed that on the days I am home a lot, I get more pimples. When I am outside and getting fresh air and oxygen, I usually don't.
P. acnes bacteria can't survive in oxygen rich environment, so if our skin is exposed to fresh air and oxygen, it probably kills the bacteria?
i think that this is a very good point, fresh air is very good for you indeed, i dont know if you've ever heard of negative ions,but these these occur in natural enviroments and can do wonders for the body. they occur in mountain areas and beside the ocean,in woodlands,forests, waterfalls etc,away from built up areas,in natural enviroments. spending time in places like these detoxify and purify the system, and im absolutely sure this would prove beneficial somewere down the line. also your right about oxygen rich air aswell, apparently the air today is far less oxygenated than say 100-200 years ago.Air quality is a very important factor in human health i believe.also ive noticed when ever i fly sumwere on a plane,this often causes me to break out,cud this be because of the air being breathed on a plane, the air is apparently recycled and of very poor quality,also linked with jet lag.
My hormonal acne doesn't make distinctions between big and smaller towns or villages. But i recently visited a small town and forgot to take my b.p. . I walked a lot and sweat but i had no new comedones. There were small rivers and waterfalls all around us, the air was so nice and fresh that i didn't want to have anything else (make up) on my skin. When i came back to my home, my forehead exploded with comedones. I don't know if they were forming during my vacations and simply became visible after i went back, but it was something that occured to me too.
It's not about killing bacteria. And it's not about oxygen killing bacteria. The UV rays more likely. It's that bright outdoor light and activity are essential for health in so many ways, it would be a pretty long list. Affects how you metabolize carbs, make vitamin D, manage stress, sleep, etc. Which in turn affect so many more things.

That makes sense!
I live in a pretty polluted city. I don't think that the air itself helps my skin, but I do know using a showerhead dechlorinator and getting a little sun every day (not too much) is good for my skin. In fact, I credit the dechlorinator and the sun 100%.
dechlorinator is something i never thought about. Interesting. Did you buy that online?
Oxygen facials supposedly help skin, but who knows... I never tried them.
How would that work?
Yeah. I got it on Amazon. Rainshow'r CQ-1000-NH
It's essentially a canister filter that attaches between your gooseneck and your showerhead. I am completely non-handy and I installed it myself with no tools in less than 5 minutes. Cartridges are replaceable, so you don't have to replace the whole thing. I think it lasts 6 months for a family of 4. If it's just you, probably longer. It's just me and my husband, so ours will probably last a while.

Will get that as well then.
