Answer
Nabeel,
Thanks for your question.  There's really no quick fix for acne, but using a combination of natural therapies will help over time.  This includes:  
An organic whole foods diet high in fiber (fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains) and water, low in sugar and animal fats; essential fatty acids like flax or fish oil; a multivitamin and sometimes extra zinc; and probiotics like lactobacillus acidophilus or bifidus.  Detoxification takes place in the liver and often helps with acne and other skin conditions; if you do a liver cleanse, that you make sure you are also eliminating from the skin, colon, and kidneys as well.  This is done with a diet as above, adequate fluids, exercise, hydrotherapy, supplements like fiber, and herbs for colon and kidney support; in addition to the supplements for the liver.  
For more specific recommendations, I'd suggest you locate a natural health specialist in your area, to help you through this process.
Good luck!
