Hailey Bieber hit with perioral dermatitis
On July 17, Hailey Bieber got candid about her skin condition on Instagram. She took to her Instagram stories to reveal that she was going through a perioral dermatitis flare-up, a condition that the model has extensively spoken about in the past. Sharing a photo of herself that evidenced the intensity of the flare-up, Bieber also discussed a list of triggers that may have contributed to the condition.
The Rhode founder revealed that her perioral dermatitis always flares when she’s traveling or is sleep deprived. Other factors in her list indicated bodily functions like stress or hormones as a likely cause for the flare-up. Working in the skincare business does open up the model to a plethora of skin products. She claimed that her condition also intensifies when she either uses the wrong SPF or tries out new products.
In classic Hailey Bieber fashion, she also shares her “minimal” skincare routine every time she suffers a perioral dermatitis flare-up. The model confessed to rinsing her face with water before using “prescription Azelaic,” “hypochlorous acid,” “clindamycin,” and “glazing milk.”
In March last year, Bieber shared a TikTok video sharing her journey with the skin condition. She confessed to dealing with this since she was 19 or 20 years old and described the condition as “resembling acne or rosacea.” She also shared a video of herself during one of her flare-up episodes, speaking about the small red bumps formed on the lower half of her face.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, women between the ages of 25 and 45 are primarily at risk of getting perioral dermatitis. Causes include the use of steroids, heavy face creams, hormonal changes, and more.
