Hailey Beiber is one of the biggest beauty and fashion icons of 2020, but just like all of us, she also has her own skin struggles. Today, the model got up close and personal with her Instagram followers to share a skin condition she’s been battling behind the scenes.
“Since I like to be as transparent as possible about my skin: I have something called perioral dermatitis, which I’ve had for a few years now,” says the 24-year-old on her story. “It gets triggered by different things and usually shows up on my cheeks, around my mouth or sometimes around and under my eyes.”
She also adds that there are a few common triggers—”Trying a new product, a product that’s too harsh, weather, masks, and sometimes certain SPFs”—that cause these red bumps on parts of her face. The biggest trigger of all? Laundry detergent. “I always have to use hypoallergenic or organic laundry detergent,” she adds.
While Beiber explains that using anti-inflammatory products helps to soothe her skin and prevent further breakouts, she also stresses the importance of visiting a board-certified dermatologist if you think you have the condition.
“It took me getting a proper diagnosis from a dermatologist after stubbornly trying to treat it myself. Sometimes it gets so irritated that only a prescription cream will calm it down. Self diagnosing is a no-no!” We couldn’t agree more, Hailey.
