How can I reduce my acne? especially redness?

How to reduce redness of back acne SOON?

• I'm staying at the beach for vacation in a few days and I have pretty bad back acne, I have Proactiv body wash, but I've only had it for a few days, so it's not done anything so far. Is there anything I can do to reduce it soon? I don't want to have to wear a shirt during all of vacation. :/

• Answer:

  This is an old trick my aunt showed me:) hope it helps It's called a selsum blue shampoo back facial. I'm not kidding, Selsum blue doesn't just help with dandruff! So first, wet your back with warm water. Pour some selsum blue (original, not any other kind) onto a loofah, or wash cloth and rub the shampoo on your back until it gets really sudsy. Leave the suds and shampoo on your back for about 3-5 minutes depending on the severity of your acne/redness. Rinse off and pat dry, do not rub because that will only create more redness and irritation. Next, get a 2-3 icecubes and rub them against your back quickly, go over the areas on your back in which you have the most acne. Doing this constricts your pores, and closes them so very minimal bacteria can get in and cause more acne. Hope it helps! Have fun at the beach!
