Hailey Bieber Opens Up About Experiencing a Common Skin Condition—Here's How She Combats It
Hailey Bieber is known for 'glazed donut' skin—dewy, poreless, and blemish-free. But as it turns out, she's just as susceptible to skin issues as the rest of us. This week, while in Europe with husband Justin Bieber to celebrate the release of his new album Swag, the Rhode founder took to her Instagram Story to share a close-up of her skin, saying that she was experiencing a 'perioral dermatitis flare.'
For the uninitiated, perioral dermatitis is a rash. 'Think of perioral dermatitis as if acne and eczema had a baby—tiny red bumps like acne, paired with an itchy, rash-y vibe like eczema,' says Mona Gohara, MD, a dermatologist in Connecticut. 'Despite the name, it doesn't just show up around your mouth—it can sneak up around the nose, eyes, or even the chin.' In the photo Bieber shared, it looks like her perioral dermatitis is mainly visible on her chin and around her mouth.
'It always flares when I'm traveling a lot, sleep deprived, hormones, the wrong SPF, new products, stress,' she wrote. It makes sense—perioral dermatitis is an extremely common skin condition.
According to Gohara, this rash can be brought on by common everyday products.'It's often triggered by too much of a good thing: heavy moisturizers, topical steroids, fluoride toothpaste, essential oils, or overuse of skincare actives like retinoids,' she says. 'Hormonal changes and stress can also stir the pot.'
Gohara says that if you're experiencing a perioral dermatitis flare, your new mantra should be less is more. 'Think gentle cleanser, bland moisturizer, and no steroid creams,' she says. 'Dermatologists may prescribe a topical or oral antibiotic to help calm things down.'
Bieber's pared-down perioral dermatitis skin care routine is perfect for helping calm irritation. When she's experiencing a bout, she keeps things 'so minimal.' To combat the condition, she forgoes cleanser altogether and instead rinses her face with water, then uses a prescription azelaic acid, hypochlorous acid, clindamycin (an antibiotic), and (naturally) Rhode Glazing Milk. Below, a more detailed look at the two over-the-counter products Bieber uses to help get her skin back to baseline.
Bieber has previously shared on Instagram that she uses this hypochlorous acid spray from Tower 28. The ultra-gentle mist is naturally anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, which helps soothe skin and reduce redness.
The Rhode Glazing Milk is a lightweight essence made with skin-strengthening ingredients like ceramides, which help repair your skin barrier and calm skin.

This Viral Royal Tulip Polish Gave Me Baby-Smooth Skin in Under 5 Minutes
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. I have read the same beauty stories you have. In fact, maybe I've written some of them. I know that there are many well-regarded body exfoliators to get soft, smooth, silky skin. I know that exfoliating is meant to be a full-body practice. I know that if you're truly a devotee to the temple of soft skin, like most beauty enthusiasts are, you should be scrubbing, sloughing, and dry-brushing all over, all the time. But I don't like to. And the simple reason for that is: I am lazy. Exfoliating your body feels like exercise. The other reason is that most body exfoliators are unpleasant, and leave behind an oily residue that makes me feel like I need to shower again. The very popular, very trendy brown sugar-type body exfoliators also feel like something I could make in my own kitchen and thus, are a waste of money to buy. But (you must have known there would be another 'but' in there), there is one body exfoliator I like using. Bloomeffects Royal Tulip Petal Polish is a really nice body exfoliator that makes me feel like I'm maximizing my limited time in the shower. It boasts not just one type of exfoliator (physical, via sea salt granules), but three (14 percent alpha hydroxy acid and pomegranate enzymes). The salt granules don't have sharp edges, and the exfoliator mix lifts and scrubs off dead skin and hyperpigmentation (meaning it does great things for mosquito bites and acne scars). I like that the granules are fine and are noticeable, without being too in-your-face (sort of like Keanu Reeves). And I really like the base of the exfoliator—it's a cream, made of hyaluronic acid—as well as the brand's proprietary tulip complex (made from actual, imperfect tulip bulbs) that transforms into a fluffy, not-too-rich lather when you add water. The combination leaves my skin feeling moisturized and soft (and, most importantly, clean) at the same time. The brand's founder, Kim van Haaster, also has a real love story that I like telling people because it sounds like something out of a Canadian Lifetime movie—Canadian, because the Lifetime movies are better there (ask any native). She was living in New York, working in beauty, and went on a trip to Ibiza with her girlfriends, when she met a man in a club. As Usher sings, they fell in love in this club, and the man turned out to be a fourth-generation tulip farmer. Haaster then created her brand based on the tulip waste byproduct she observed at his family farm. Currently pregnant with sensitive skin to boot, she recently discovered that Bloomeffects' Royal Tulip Polish is gentle enough for her skin, and, she promises, even for your face and hair. I haven't tried it on my face and hair yet, but I do get a kick out of using the tulip-decorated wooden spoon that comes with each jar. And the super-soft skin after application, of course.
