    Unhappily acne breakouts can start at any age and although hormones can play a big part so can stress. Have you been through any stressful events last year.  At work? in a relationship? death of someone close to you?.  Face washes can sometimes be very drying or even seem to cause more problems so  just make sure you keep your face clean with something unperfumed and fairly simple. Keep fingers away from your face,and obviously no squeezing or picking.   Have you changed your make up? make up manufacturers often change the ingredients of their products without telling the users and this can cause problems.   If you can use a  face cream with vitamin A/retinol as one of the ingredients it often helps to calm it down although it should be first used on a tiny patch as some people react with a red rash.
