There are a few things that can be done to prevent this situation from occuring. I would also like to hear some other hints and tips.
The number one key here is prevention.
You can:
Drink water
Not exfoliate or mask at least 6 days prior to the event.
stay away from unhealthy foods
Ensure that you have a stringent skin care routine both morning and night.
Change your pillow case daily.
Use cleansers that don't dry your skin out like most anti blemish cleansers do.
Wear sunscreen.
Too late for that? It's there and you need to fix it now?
For sunburn, keep the skin wll moisturised and increase your water intake. It also helps to eat tomato paste as there is a vitamin that is strongest in cooked tomatoes and tomato paste is where it is most concentrated.
For pimples (blinders or otherwise)
DONT SQUEEZE you will only further inflame it!!!
Apply a pimple cream containing Benzol Peroxide or Salicylic acid, or for a natural alternative tea tree oil.
Applying toothpaste to the affected region 15 minutes before having a shower will help minimise.
Finally (last I can think of) concealer concealer concealer.
Anything anyone else has tried and tested and got results with?

Hi Phoenixarizona, I had to laugh when I read your discussion. It brought back some funny memories of me when I was in High School suffering from blind pimples only when I was going out to a party or a disco. It was like my body wanted to punish me for it, even my mum noticed I only got them then as well. I learned to just leave them be, because when I tampered with them, my once blind pimple became a very obvious and sorely sight. Thank you for making me laugh : ) ps....... I like your tips !
