Why am I getting pimples and how can I prevent them?
I never--EVER--used to get pimples. Now all of a sudden, I've been getting them very frequently over the last two months. There have been a few changes in my lifestyle though, but I still don't understand why I'm getting these pimples.
Last year I moved from Chicago to Florida. Besides the changes in weather, I've been getting less exercise than I used to and I only leave the house about 20% of the time. Other than that, I drink plenty of water, I exercise daily, and I wash my face 5 times a day with just water, plus 3 times a day with water and soap. The pimples started when I frequently started to use lotion on my face, so I immediately stopped, and only put a little bit of lotion in the corners of my mouth and beneath my eyes. But the pimples are on my cheeks and I don't understand why. I shower daily, and I wash my pillow cases and blankets every 5-7 weeks. I really don't understand why these pimples have been showing up all of a sudden.
Can someone tell me why I'm getting them all of a sudden and how I can prevent them?
Also, I don't have oily skin. It's not very dry either, only at the corners of my nose and mouth, but the pimples are all concentrated on my cheeks.
I'm not stressed, but I have been getting a little less sleep than normal. Also, the only make up I wear is eyeliner, mascara, and lipgloss.

First off washing your face three times a day is harsh for your skin, you should wash it in the morning and at night. Wearing make up all day will help from getting dirt and bacteria into your pores, which will causes pimples. You should also wash your bed linens once a week, not once a month.
Also, change your face lotion. Go oil free, maybe try clinique.
FLorida is much more humid so you'll definitely have to take better care of your skin, I hope this helps!
