Valentine's Day is heart beats away and you are sooooo sorted. Hot date - check. Hot dress - check. Wake up the day before and…..AAAAAAARGHHHH!!!! Humungous zit starting at you like a third eye in the middle of your forehead. Your life is over - right? Nah, here's some real beauty insider tips on how to turn this beauty drama into a quick beauty fix.

It is the perpetual puberty nightmare - the unwelcome, unsightly and totally out to ruin you pimples that emerge at the most inappropriate times. Like now, the day before the most important day of your life, right? Fear not peeps, as here's a step to step on how to deal.

1. DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT - SQUEEZE!!! Squeeze and you will be left with a not so fab red, scabby scar and, you could make it even bigger and worse so that you have a double whammy zitty zit with oh so not appealing scarring.
2. Get two bowls of water - one warm, one cold. Dip a face towel in warm first and apply to pimple and follow the same procedure with a towel dipped in cold water. Repeat this up to 5 times each. The warm heat will act to open up pores and the cold to close, helping to dislodge dirt and bacteria from under the skin.
3. In emergency pimple situations, drying out the pimple is a quick way to zap it. But, if you use something that is highly chemical or harsh on the skin, whilst it can offer immediate relief, it can also act to overstimulate the skin and lead to more pimples a week or so later. Who cares, you say, as long as I deal NOW. Well, what if we told you these same pimple treatments, featuring either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, can irritate the skin causing redness, irritation or even burning? Not such a great quick fix - hah? Or a great look - flaky, red skin!
4. Cleanse skin first with a non-harsh cleanser that will remove bacteria and dirt with out over-stimulating the skin. We love Bellaboo All That Clean Skin Facial Wash.
5. Apply Bellaboo E Z Blitz Serum directly onto the pimple. It works deep to deal with pesky pimples and our boos find pimples history after about 2-3 days. Now, for a girl on a deadline, add a little bit of nature to the mix. Apply a slice of lemon to the pimple over the serum and leave for a few minutes. Lemon is quite astringent and will help to dry it out quicker.
6. If you've got a big red, swollen pimple that is a bit painful, you can ease it by applying a teabag of chamomile tea to the area, or ice cubes - both of which will help to soothe and reduce the swelling and redness. Toothpaste is another little nifty trick. Best to put it on at night and leave it on while you sleep - it works wonders to calm that zit right down.
7. The next day, be sure to use a good moisturiser to compensate for the extra drying action. We love Bellaboo Gorgeous Skin Moisture Dew.
8. The zit may not be completely goneski but it should have significantly calmed down and be less noticeable. To make it even less noticeable, apply a concealer. We love Benefit Erase Paste Concealer - it seriously makes things disappear! Or, you could try a green based concealer which helps to hide redness.
9. Finally, do whatever you normally do makeup wise and your date will be all eyes on you and not that third eye!!!!
