Acne infections destroy collagen and elastin fibers, sever the microvascular system and damage and kill cells. When healing happens, and an acne injury is not properly treated, a scar is left in the skin. The normal functional tissue (skin) is replaced by connective tissue (scar).

Acne is a complex ailment that depends essentially on:

A) increased sebum secretion in conjunction with

B) toxins inside your skin due to the intake of protein of poor quality.

The above mentioned elements get deposited by your lymph system and placed underneath the skin. There they trap moisture from the outer layer of the skin making it feel dry. As a matter of fact too much build up will result in an exaggerated pressure on the sebaceous glands "pinching them off" and thus impeding the sebum flow, clogging pores and eventually breaking sebum out onto the surface or inside the skin follicles where there is a rich environment for the proliferation of acne bacteria, inflammation and the skin lesions that characterize acne.

Anything that causes excessive water retention inside your skin can pinch off the sebaceous glands inside your skin and make you break out sebum where acne microbe will grow, in minutes, specially if you are going through a period of high sebum production. Excess salt and spices are common triggers, so if you eat too many potato chips you're exposing yourself to the high possibility of acne breakouts.

Heat destroys and/or changes basical nutrients. New harmful substances are formed in all animal or vegetable foods that are exposed to extreme heat. Dietary protein is partially altered in the preparation process. Protein molecules react with dietary carbohydrates, creating new molecules. This mechanism is known as "the Maillard reaction", and the same happens to peptides because of simple oxidation.

Digestive enzymes separate protein amino acids, only if the targeted part of the protein matches what the enzyme is programmed for. If the linked amino-acids have mutated due to heat there is no breakage. The un-separated amino-acid chains are transported by the lymph system, at a much slower rate than by blood. And such cargo of Maillard reaction and oxidized peptide products is discharged into the skin so that the lymph can return to the digestive tract and the liver to pick up new cargo of valuable nutrients that it carries for use by the body's organs.

Cooked proteins transform into damaged peptides not absorbed into your blood stream but disposed off by your lymphatic system. And end up in the internal layer of your skin attracting moisture and pressing your sebaceous glands to the point of blocking them, and thus pimples are formed.
