My face needs help!… Bad acne/blackheads?

I have really bad acne/blackheads/big-glanded pimples on my face. Ever since I started my period in 2008, it has progessively gotten worse and worse. I try to take care of my face, but some things just never work. I wash my face with Dove soap about 2 or 3 times a day. I think sleeping in my makeup sometimes makes it even worse, so I need to stop doing that. Is there any methods you would suggest? Are there any foods that would help? I get a lot of redness also on my cheeks near my ears. I would love to hear feedback. By the way, I'm a 21 year old female. thanks
