Adult acne in the 30's
Acne is adults is extremely common. Like teenage acne, it's likely caused by the interaction of hormones and your skin. The treatments are similar to teenage acne, including topical creams, pills, laser, blue light therapy, and birth control pills for women. Only your dermatologist can determine the right treatment for you. Diet, keeping clean, etc, appear to have little to do with adult acne.

How to prevent adult acne
Adults, and particularly women, tend to flare occasionally with adult acne. In women, fluctuation of hormones during the menstrual cycle play a significant role. Aside from this a few simple measures of prevention of acne include:
1. Cleansing your face twice daily! with a mild cleanser (Purpose by J&J over the counter). This will remove excess sweat and fatty residue that traps the pores and feeds bacteria the excess oils. By the way, never sleep with your makeup for the same reason...

Adult acne
Acne in adults may have a hormonal component and may respond to hormonal therapy such as birth control pills or other medications that regulate hormones. You would need to see a dermatologist for evaluation. Diet has not been proven to cause acne, although for some people, certain foods may appear to worsen acne. Cleaning the face with special soaps may help, but may not be enough if the acne is hormonal. (This answer is not intended nor implied to be a substitute for...

Treatment of Adult Acne
Adult acne is frustrating, and unfortunately very common. Recent research has suggested that foods with a high glycemic index may be related to the development of acne, so you may consider examining your diet. However, my best advice is to meet with a dermatologist to evaluate your skin closely. Adult acne is often hormonal, and different patterns of acne will indicate to your dermatologist that this is the case. They can then recommend the appropriate treatment....

There are several simple steps that anyone can follow to keep skin clear and evenly toned.
First, use moisturizers and sunscreens. Moisturize frequently and use sunscreen whenever outside. Sunscreens must have both UVA and UVB protection incorporated in the products. Make it even easier by using a moisturizer with SPF included.
Second, be sure to get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly.

Adult acne is very common and there are many ways to treat it
Adult acne in women is very common. Often it flares with the hormone cycle and gets worse with stress. Dietary factors usually are not responsible, except one recent study showed chocolate may be a culprit. It is important to find out what is causing your particular acne and then treat it from there.
Using non-comedogenic products and washing the face twice a day should be standard for you but won't necessarily clear acne. Usually topical products are necessary to unclog...

Acne in you 30s-- you are not alone
Approximately 12% of adult women continue to get acne into their 20s, 30s and even their 40s. Acne is a medical condition that has a strong genetic predisposition and that is affected by stress, hormones and perhaps some dietary factors. It sounds like you need to get under the care of a board-ceritified dermatologist who can get you on a treatment plan that may include medication, procedures, and lifestyle changes.

The best way to get rid of acne is to prevent it from coming. That is why if you have a problem with recurrent adult-onset acne, you need to see a board-certified dermatologist and get on a regular acne treatment program.
It is much better to prevent a breakout than to panic and try to treat breakouts that tend to occur at the most unwanted times.
