Breaking out in my 30's

[nevb1973]

I always had great skin even as teen but started to break out after 30. I am 37 mow and I always have a least one blemish on my face. They come out as large bumps that will not go away until I pop them and then I have a huge scab/crater very attractive! Acne products dry my skin and make it worse exfoliators make my face break out worse it seems like the scrubbing brings them to the surface. Any one and a similar experience or can recommend a product, but it needs to be a cheap though. Preferably sold at WalMart, I don't get out much! I drink a lot of coffee could that cause or worsen this?

I have to add I very rarely wear makeup. When I do it is the powder foundation type you apply with a brush.

Drinking coffee could be giving you acne. Drink at least 2 pints of pure water a day that isn't mixed with cordial or juice and either drink tea instead of coffee or cut down to two or three cups of coffee a day.

When I was younger drinking instant coffee would bring out a spot or two immediately and they would spread so I switched to tea as I didn't have a coffee maker or cafetiere and few cafes, homes and offices had them either and used instant coffee instead.

Wipe the face with witch hazel water as well twice daily. Don't use any cheap creams or acne lotions on your face.

I started using Vaseline intensive rescue clinical therapy lotion on my hands which crack, I am a nurse constantly washing, and started putting it on my face. My breakouts have stopped! I even felt a zit coming up under the skin applied the lotion and in the morning gone. My DH did the same and his pimple gone as well. So I am really happy about this and have to recommend it!
