Acne infections damage collagen and elastin fibers, interrupt the microvascular network and harm and kill cells. When healing occurs, and an acne injury is not adequately treated, a scar is left in the skin. The normal functional tissue (skin) is replaced by connective tissue (scar).

Acne is a complex condition that depends basically on:

A) elevated 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 under the skin. There they trap 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 excess water retention inside your skin can pinch off the sebaceous glands inside your skin and make you break out sebum where acne bacteria will grow, in minutes, especially 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 destroys and/or changes basical nutrients. New harmful substances are formed in all animal or vegetable aliments that are heated. Dietary protein is partially altered in the preparation process. Protein molecules react with dietary carbohydrates, forming new molecules. This mechanism is known as "the Maillard reaction", and the same occurs to peptides because of simple oxidation.

Stomach enzymes separate protein amino acids, only if the targeted portion of the protein matches what the enzyme is programmed for. If the targeted amino-acids have mutated due to heat there is no separation. The un-separated amino-acid chains are transported by the lymph network, at a much slower rate than by blood. And such cargo of Maillard reaction and altered peptide products is discharged into the skin so that the lymph can reach 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 network. And end up in the internal layer of your skin catching moisture and compressing your sebaceous glands to the point of clogging them, and thus pimples are formed.
