A recent Omnibus study discovered that when it comes to dating, 7 in 10 people would be extremely embarrassed if they had acne on a first date. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, Celebrity makeup artist and skincare specialist, Jody Daye has put together 5 easy tips to prevent the dreaded pre-date acne breakout:

1. Avoid over-washing your face to prevent drying out your skin. Drying out your skin makes your face produce more pimple causing oils. Wash once in the morning and once at night with warm- not hot! - water.

2. To get rid of pimples fast without any harsh side effects, I recommend the Tända Clear Acne Light Therapy Treatment. It's the iPod of skincare and so easy to use. Tända helps treat existing blemishes and prevents future outbreaks to give you the flawless complexion you crave.

3. Avoid touching your face repeatedly with your hands- this will prevent oils and bacteria from spreading to your face and causing a potential outbreak.

4. Stay hydrated - make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. At least 8 glasses is key.

5. Keep makeup minimal - the secret to beauty starts with beautiful, clear skin. Why cover up with heavy pore clogging makeup when you can be flaunting a pimple free gorgeous complexion?!
