Facial skin issues, possibly allergic?

So as a general rule I've usually had pretty good skin with the exception of a few pimples. More recently within the past two months I've been having bad breakouts, and taken on a skin care routine to try and calm the pimples down. The larger more noticeable ones are now almost completely gone, but now in place of smooth skin and a few pimples, I am having very rough skin and tiny little bumps. They are hardly noticeable to anyone but myself, but I feel very uncomfortable touching my face anymore and it makes me upset.

About two weeks ago I took on a facial care routine that consisted of Aveeno Skin clarifying cleanser, a toner made of eight parts water and one part apple cider vinegar (i read it would work very well!) and loreal refinish moisturizer+clinique dramatically different moisturizer.
In addition, my hands have also become very dry and flaky.
As far as I know, I am not allergic to anything, but could this be a possibility?
Could my toner be the problem? I have also heard less then glowing reviews from clinique, and after abandoning their facial soap and toner I am concerned that the moisterizer could be a problem?
Are there any foods I should try cutting out of my diet? Or any recomendations as to products I could try (nothing to exspensive please! I really prefer homemade/natural products!)
Should I just stick it out? I've read that sometimes it takes time for certain products to pull dirt out of your skin and as a result you get pimples but if you wait it out it goes away?

My skin just feels horrible! It reminds me of people with oily skin who have had severe acne!
Thank you so much for all of your help!
