Jessica Wu, M.D., celebrity dermatologist and author of “Feed your Face“, along with skin & beauty site, Daily Glow, analyzed 55 of the biggest cities in the U.S. and came up with a list of the BEST & WORST CITIES FOR YOUR SKIN.

Each city was evaluated based on dermatologists per capita,  skin cancer rates, climate, air pollution, tanning beds per capita, and percentage of adults of exercise regularly and smoke. Data was used from the American Academy of Dermatology, the CDC, Census Bureau, and the American Lunch Association.
