Postpartum depression has wrecked my skin

Don't get me wrong, I adore my little one and I love being a mom. But three years of being constantly sleep-deprived, generally neglecting my health and self-care needs has completely fucked my skin up. I recently turned 30, and I feel like look every inch of that. I have large pores on my cheeks, a few closed comedones scattered on my chin. My skin seems almost textured? Bumpy in general? I don't know. I also have the beginnings of laugh lines. Only this year have I really had time to breathe, take a good look in the mirror and begin an actual routine from the ground up. Not many products, but I wanted to keep it really really basic before adding anything new. I don't know what to do next or what to add. I really more than anything just want smooth skin again. What would you suggest that I add next?

AM: * Splash with water * Humphrey's Witch Hazel *CeraVe in the tub *Trader Joe's Face & Body SPF30 Sunscreen (I plan on going higher soon, I just want to use all of this before splurging on a nicer sunscreen.)

PM: * Clinique Pep Start 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser * Stridex in the red box *CeraVe in the tub
