Acne produces multiple skin irritations that place heavy demands upon the skin's components. Areas with recurrent infections caused by moderate or severe acne commonly develop deficiencies of essential components, altering the skin's capability to defend itself and heal effectively.

Acne is a complex condition that depends essentially on:

A) elevated sebum production in conjunction with

B) toxins within your skin due to the intake of protein of low quality.

The above mentioned elements get deposited by your lymph system and placed under the skin. There they absorb moisture from the outer layer of the skin making it feel dry. The build-up causes excess pressure on the glandular ducts not allowing sebum to evacuate freely which in turn creates a rich feeding ground for bacteria and inflammation.

Anything that causes excessive water retention within your skin can pinch off the sebaceous glands within your skin and make you break out sebum where acne bacteria 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 consume too many potato chips you're exposing yourself to the high possibility of acne breakouts.

Heat damages and/or changes basical nutrients. New damaging substances are formed in all animal or vegetable foods that are heated. Dietary protein is partially damaged in the preparation process. Protein molecules interact with dietary carbohydrates, forming new molecules. This mechanism is called "the Maillard reaction", and the same happens to peptides because of simple oxidation.

Stomach enzymes break protein amino acids, only if the targeted part of the protein matches what the enzyme is created for. If the targeted amino-acids have changed due to heat there is no separation. The un-separated amino-acid chains are carried by the lymph system, at a much lower rate than by blood. And such cargo of Maillard reaction and altered peptide products is poured into the skin so that the lymph can reach the digestive tract and the liver to pick up new cargo of essential nutrients that it carries for use by the body's organs.

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