Dry and broken out face.. HELP ME!?

Ok so i am one of those people who only breaks out every now and then and it is usually only one or two zits. Im 15 by the way. So in the last couple of weeks, i started to break out pretty badly, well for me anyways. I started to put zit cream on them, and i was working, but it is drying out my face really badly because i have been putting so much on. The stuff i use is fine and its not that drying, its just the amount that im putting on is drying me out. So now my skin is dry and ive been lathering lotion on and exfoliating, but i dont want to put zit stuff on cause im affraid it will start drying out again. Is there anything that i can put on my face to help this, or like steam my face or something?
