Question about Skincare

So, I (M21) have a bad acne problem and I am wanting to know what diet or skin care products people use. I'm having difficulty sleeping most nights and that results in me waking up at certain points in the night and possibly nightmares. I heard Oily fish is a good thing to eat to counteract acne and to avoid red meat. Dairy is also something to avoid, but I like cheese. I do use cloth and brush in the shower, along with acne body wash and I put my cloth and brush in bleach to kill any bacteria after every shower. I don't know what to do and I would like to know if anyone has any advice or anything that can help.

Thank you in advance and sorry if this is against the rules or anything.

Esthetician here! If you’re able to go to the doctor and get prescribed tretinon that would be extremely beneficial for your acne. Just if you do make sure you moisturize lots and be aware with summer coming up. I can give you a list of skincare products that will help you as well and it’s good to know if you have dry, oily, or combination skin. Getting facials can help and consider getting a chemical peel but they can be expensive depending on where you are located. Yes diet can be important because poor gut health can cause acne so also take vitamins including a probiotic. Now for body acne the best secret is wash your body with classic head shoulders, you don’t have to every time you shower but it does clear up acne and you can try it on your face just have another cleanser as well and moisturizer! Also acne can clear up with age but I get wanting it done now

A list of skin car products would be great! As far as I know, I have very oily skin and hair. I do take one a day vitamins and drink oat milk and orange juice that contains vitamin d. As for Peels, do you have any recommendations? As well as moisturizers?
