Yes, the digestion is affected and skin is one of the largest organs of excretion in the body. Excessive sebum (oil in the skin) tends to clog the pores and cause acne.

Many people believe that acne is caused by stress, dead skin cells, oily skin or diet; these however, are not the primary cause of acne. While these could all be factors that contribute to acne, the only known cause of acne is bacteria. Since there are so many factors involved in what causes acne and there are many different types of acne there is a huge spectrum of solutions. For those who have mild acne, the topical cleansers and toners work just fine. On the other hand, for those who fight a constant battle with acne, there is a need for maximum anti-blemish support that goes deep within the skin starting at the root of the problem.

It's a myth that ingesting the oil itself causes you to excrete more oils through your pores and causes pimples. What happens is that the oils from the foods you eat can get on your skin, especially around your mouth (or if your hands are greasy and you touch your face) and that can clog the pores there and cause pimples.

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

yes it does. the extra fat adds more grease to your natural skin oils, making it more possible for bacteria to thrive, causing more pimples
