1. Wash your face at least once a day

Washing your face will help get rid of all the dust, dirt and oil that collects on your skin throughout the day. If your skin is excessively oily, clean once in the morning and once at night. Be careful about the temperature of the water as well, because very hot water will dry your skin out!

2. Use a gentle facial cleanser meant for your skin type

When choosing a cleanser, avoid anything that is heavily perfumed as it may irritate your skin. Even if you are acne-prone, harsh cleansers will irritate the skin by removing all moisture. Hypoallergenic facial cleansers are the best way to clean without stripping the skin's natural oils.

3. Don’t touch your face too often

The more you touch your face, the more dirt and bacteria you get into your skin. Your hands come in direct contact with a lot of germs during the day, and the dirt and excess oil from your fingertips will trigger acne breakouts. Don't forget to wash your hands before you clean your face!

4. Fight the urge to pop any pimples

Popping a pimple will worsen the problem and can spread infection. This could lead to more redness, scarring or worse -- acne cysts that can only be treated by a physician. Use a topical spot treatment cream instead.

5. Choose the right makeup to hide it

If all else fails, use make-up. For redness, you'll want a colour corrector. Use a concealer stick or liquid foundation on bigger pimples. Always choose a foundation suitable for your skin type. Utilize a face primer before foundation to make your skin appear smoother.

Get the perfect complexion with these helpful tips. Good luck on your next date!
