Hailey Bieber Opens up About Her Perioral Dermatitis—and Shares Exactly How She Deals With a Flare Up
Though we all know Hailey Bieber for her 'glazed donut' skin, even the most dewy and clear-complexioned among us will suffer from some kind of skin issue. Celebrities—and billion dollar-acquired beauty business moguls—get spots, rashes, and irritated skin too. Dr. Mary L. Stevenson, MD at NYU Langone Health, previously defined perioral dermatitis for Vogue as 'a skin condition which results in dry, flaky red skin as well as red bumps or papules. It can look like acne although it is a distinct diagnosis with some overlap in treatment. In addition it can be itchy, red, dry, and swollen.' What that looks like in reality: every couple of months, you can experience irritated, uncomfortable rashes on a concentrated area of your face (usually, the mouth) that are next to impossible to cover up, and, takes a long time to clear up. Perioral dermatitis is most common among women between the ages 25 to 49, and can last for weeks or months. Bieber took to her Instagram Story to share her recent experience of a perioral dermatitis flare up, posting a makeup-free selfie to show the small bumps and texture on the lower half of her face. She captioned her Story saying that it 'always flares when I'm traveling a lot, sleep deprived, hormones, the wrong SPF, new products, stress.' Derms can't be totally sure yet what causes DP—the research isn't there yet—but plenty of DP sufferers will say similar. (This writer included—anything from a new product gifted to me at Christmas that has some fragrance or actives I've been unacquainted with, to a few summer holidays, or a particularly stressful stretch of work can stir the bumpy skin).

It doesn't matter if you're a model. It doesn't matter if you usually have such enviable skin that millions of people put their trust in your skin-care brand. It doesn't matter how much money you have. Perioral dermatitis can happen to anyone, Hailey Bieber included. And while she's not exactly thrilled to be going through a flare-up, she's more than happy to let her fans and followers know they're not alone if they're going through it, too. On Thursday, July 17, Bieber shared a couple of close-ups—one with a goofy filter—to her Instagram Stories, writing, 'perioral dermatitis flare,' and, 'always flares when I'm traveling a lot, sleep deprived, hormones, the wrong SPF, new products, stress.' And that pretty much checks out, though board-certified dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, previously told Allure, 'Despite being common, we still do not understand why perioral dermatitis develops.' But what exactly is perioral dermatitis? Board-certified dermatologist Corey L. Hartman has told Allure it's a facial rash that usually shows up around the mouth, presenting as red and sometimes itchy bumpiness. Sometimes found around other parts of the face, it may be mistaken for acne or rosacea, so it's best to go to a dermatologist to get a clear diagnosis before trying to treat it. Speaking of treating it, Bieber also shared what she personally does during a flare-up. She rinses her face with water, and uses prescription azelaic acid (known for its effectiveness on acne and rosacea), hypochlorous acid (essentially a skin-safe disinfectant), clindamycin (an antibiotic), and her own Rhode Glazing Milk for light, calming moisture. Because different things trigger perioral dermatitis in different people, prevention and treatment often comes down to a lot of trial and error. But as frustrating as that may be, it's always nice to know you're in very good, very candid company with someone like Hailey Bieber.
