When i visit England i always get worse, probably due to the increase in clorine they have in theirs. My doc told me to take very cool showers becuase the cooler it is the less chlorine it contains becuase some of the chlorine evaporates off at lower temporatures.

It may also be helpful to reduce shower time in general. I have soft water at home, but when I visit my parents who have hard water my skin often improves. Chlorine may be helpful to kill some of the bacteria or whatever is causing skin problems. However, some people complain later on about it. All in all, I haven't found much consistency to just about anything. Sometimes I improve under supposedly worse conditions and sometimes it gets worse. Same for good conditions.

I actually have been creeping the water temp up on my showers, and should go back to a cooler shower. And definitely will be getting the water tested, maybe it is hard and getting a water treatment device may eliminate some of the Seb derm. I think they said Vegas water has a lot of lyme, but it makes it smell like chlorine or chemical. So maybe there is no chlorine in it. Some other people on this board have posted that washing with chlorinated pool water occasionally actually helped them. Maybe it can work either way. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.

Do you have hard water? Maybe the hotel had soft water. Maybe you had your shower water too hot? I think sometimes going on trips in general is helpful for the face, just because you spend more time doing fun and unstressful things. When we get home we start obsessing with how we look. Also, just the stress of returning home to everyday life could be bad for the skin. I know, in general, I don't have the most pleasant feeling of health when I come home from a trip. Maybe try taking a relative cool shower and see if it has an effect on your skin. Eric Actually chlorine is supposed to be irritating. Do you have hard
