No, air conditioning itself does not make your skin glow. The idea of a "glow" is often associated with healthy, radiant skin, which is primarily influenced by factors like genetics, diet, hydration, and sun exposure.
While air conditioning can indirectly affect skin appearance, it's not the direct cause of a glow. Staying in an air-conditioned environment reduces sun exposure, which can prevent sun damage and tanning, potentially leading to lighter skin. However, this is a result of reduced sun exposure, not a direct effect of the AC itself. The references support this; one states that staying away from sunlight makes skin fairer [Quora]. Another mentions that reduced UV radiation from staying indoors leads to lighter skin [Oct 16, 2016]. The key is the lack of sun, not the air conditioning.
Several other references discuss glowing in different contexts, such as the glow of electronic components [physics.stackexchange.com, reddit/AssassinsCreedValhala], glow plugs in diesel engines [TheDieselPage.com Forums, SteelSoldiers], and the "Asian glow" from alcohol consumption [reddit/asianamerican]. These are unrelated to the effects of air conditioning on skin.
Therefore, the connection between air conditioning and a skin glow is tenuous at best. The improved skin appearance associated with AC usage stems from the decreased UV radiation exposure, not a direct effect of the cooling itself.
