It all depends on what you wish to grow. If you want to grow bacteria that like to live on the skin, such as Staphylococcus aureus, then the best temperature is below normal body temperature or 86 to 95 Degrees Fahrenheit (30 to 35 Degrees Celsius). If you are interested in E.coli, then the temperature would be body temperature 95 to 98.6 Degrees Fahrenheit (35 to 37 Degrees Celsius). These do not grow well above or below these temperatures.
