Sometimes simple soap and water can rectify, and if you're over 30, a moisturizer.
I always refused to use moisturizers since I have oily skin, but when I hit somewhere around 30 went through a period of breakouts. At one time, I used expensive cleansers, toners, astringents, you name it. But when this started, I used plain old Witch Hazel when I was feeling oily and used a very gentle soap only on my face and, since my mom kept insisting, I finally began a regime with a nighttime moisturizer. For me, breakouts stopped and haven't had a problem since.
