I am not a skincare specialist but I am always told to wear moisturizer no matter what. I know that they do have certain moisturizers for acne prone skin. I have really oily skin so I use an oil control lotion. Sometimes it's good to take a break from makeup just to let your skin breathe a little bit.

You need to cleanse, tone ,and protect once a day if not twice. This is the first step. Now if you are breaking out try not to wear make-up. If you ,I suggest mineral make-up it is the best and non-pore clogging and gives an awesome finish. Plus it covers acne scares beautifully.

In the day time you should wear a moisturiser with an SPF but make sure it is suitable for skin that is prone to break outs. You wouldn't want to wear anything that is too rich or creamy or heavy eg. products containing shea butter and cocoa butter. There are lots of moisturisers around with petrolatum in which is very comedogenic (ie will block pores) so get into the habit of scanning labels before you buy. Ideally you want something specifically formulated to help keep clear blemish prone skin. At night time if your skin is not dry there should be no problem leaving your skin without moisturiser. Alternatively look for a gel based product containing some anti inflammatory and anti bacterial ingredients to help calm and clear existing blemishes. Wearing make up is not going to help with the break outs but if you really don't like going out without anything on your skin go for mineral make up as this is non pore clogging.
