Rosacea: It may be rosacea, sometimes called adult acne. It occurs generally in people with more vascularized skin, appear to blush frequently, have episodic acne eruptions, etc. It is a chronic condition. See a dermatologist for a diagnosis. There may be other possible explanations, like pco, polycystic ovary disease.
