That's not "bad skin." Bad skin might be acne or scars. Frying your face until it looks like leather is a bad life choice. For me, it does impact the validity of the reporting because it makes me question her credibility as a health columnist.

As for the validity of the study? It seems interesting, but it's one study (that was part of a senior thesis?), so I'm taking it for what it's worth. I could have bought into it a bit more if the reporting wasn't weak (confusing correlation and causation, the "joining a sorority may be bad for your health" headline, etc).
Maybe the person did the research for their senior thesis via GC...
