Send values to another scene in Unity

I am trying to make a character select screen in Unity. But I don't know how I can tell the game scene what skin got picked in the character select scene.

I have tried using DontDestroyOnLoad(); but didn't get it to work.

I need to send the value from a canvas in one scene to a player object in the next scene. I didn't get a player prefab to work because many of the values the player need only exists in the game scene.

I am not much experienced with Unity or C#, so I would appreciate if you give very detailed answers and explain to me what different things do and why.

Lastly, I am sorry if this question is hard to understand, as I said, I'm not that experienced. I am also not that good in English. Thank you for your time.

You can use design pattern Singleton to create an unique instance.

public class CharacterManager
{
   private static CharacterManager singleton;
   private Skin currentSkin;

   public static CharacterManager Singleton
   {
      get
      {
         if (singleton == null)
         {
            singleton = new CharacterManager();
         }

         return singleton;
      }
   }

   public void SelectSkin(Skin skin)
   {
       currentSkin = skin;
   }

   public Skin GetCurrentSkin()
   {
       return currentSkin;
   }
}

Usage:

Select skin in Scene1

CharacterManager.Singleton.SelectSkin(someSkin);

Get current skin in Scene2

character.skin = CharacterManager.Singleton.GetCurrentSkin();

You may use PlayerPrefs for it (as a variant instead of DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject)): https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.html
