Like everyone said, it's flushing out toxins.
According to traditional chinese medicine, everyones body needs has an element of yin, or coolness, wetness... this a pure kind of moisture (think of a crystal blue, free running, cool refreshing stream). However, because of diet, climate, illness, toxins, and natural inclination, our bodies can become overrun with "dampness". This is a pathogen--think of muddy, rotten, stinky, stagnant water.
Acne, to overly generalize, usually has 2 causes. Excess heat, is one and generally shows itself as very red and painful breakouts. The second, in which the skin overall has a very congested look with clogged pores and breakouts that may be flesh colored, or under the skin, is caused by dampness.
Especially, if you tend to be damp (take a look at your tongue, it may have a thick white coat... if you have a thick yellow coat you have dampness and heat), your body will indeed need to flush out the dampness and all of the toxins and yuck clinging to it.
If you do indeed think thats the case, then try adding some damp draining foods to your diet. Greens (collards, turnip, mustard, kale, chard) are brilliant as are turnips themselves. Barley is great. Rice is ok. Sugar is a big no no. Dairy and eggs might be good to go slow on during a detox, as they can be damp forming as well. There are a ton of lists on line.

Usually things get worse before they get better. Right now your body is flushing out the toxins, oils and once it adjusts you'll be fine. Its not a quick fix, its something you'll have to stick with.
