Face packs made from a concoction of natural ingredients can clear off acne from your face. Single ingredients like unprocessed honey, toothpaste and vinegar can also do the job well.

Vedika Trivedi, a professional from Jawed Habib's hair and beauty salon chain, explains how to use them effectively:

Raw honey: Apply unprocessed honey directly on the affected area. Its antiseptic properties will help to get rid of acne soon.

Vinegar: Wherever you see acne on your face, apply apple cider vinegar. Leave it overnight to dry. The spots will disappear in a day.

Toothpaste: It contains a chemical called Triclosan, which helps in reducing burnt spots. It is also known as an antibacterial ingredient, which reduces swelling and has cooling properties.
