[personal] Closed comedones on the face--summer to blame? What do you do for summer skin care?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Sweating more, out more--maybe my SPF moisturizer is to blame, maybe it's my inability to remember to not touch my face without washing my hands :/I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin face lotion SPF 15. Is there a better product for skin w a penchant for closed pores?A bit of background--mostly acne/pimple-free for my teen years, had a bit of an issue with birth control when I was 22, after which I started to develop a lot of whiteheads. Before this, I never had to wash my face except with water, the occasional cleanser. Now I have a routine which is just barely sufficing, and all sorts of acne just waiting to greet me every day.My old doctor prescribed me Clindamycin Phosphate lotion, which I put sparingly on at night. Without it I break out. (Unfortunately, I have since lost insurance so I cannot go to a dermatologist or ask for medical advice/prescriptions). In the morning I wash my face with Neutrogena's Oil-free cleanser. I occasionally rub my face w Stridex. I wipe my face with Thayer's Witch Hazel/Aloe Vera Rose Toner in the morning and in the night--I've found it really helps.My skin is slow to heal (I'm Indian, so my scars stay forever, nice & dark on my lighter brown skin). I have one nodule which popped up due to some major stress. I have these closed comedones/bumps all over my face, mostly on my cheeks and chin. My nose is speckled but no open blackheads--just spots. In other skin ailments, I have keratosis pilarsis on my arms and thighs. I'm at my wit's end. This is taking up so much of my time--and it's just getting worse? I don't get it.I've tried doing a baby oil+tea tree oil cleansing system, only to break out more. I have ordered some neem oil, hemp oil & spearmint capsules...but what do you think? Any advice would be really appreciated!
