Hailey Bieber Gets Real About Her Perioral Dermatitis and How She Manages Flare-Ups

We know Hailey Bieber for her signature “glazed donut” glow the kind of skin so radiant it practically has its own PR team. But even the faces we see on billboards and magazine covers deal with the same frustrating skin curveballs as the rest of us. Breakouts, rashes, and flare-ups don’t discriminate celebrity or not, skin has its own agenda.

Recently, Hailey opened up about her experience with perioral dermatitis a tricky, inflammation-based rash that usually shows up around the mouth, nose, and eyes. It’s the kind of skin condition that can feel confusing (is it acne? is it eczema?), and for many people, it seems to pop up at the worst possible time.

Instead of glossing over it, Hailey did what so many of us wish more celebrities would: she talked about it openly. She shared not just that she deals with flare-ups, but exactly how she manages them because sometimes, the most powerful beauty tip isn’t a serum recommendation, but hearing that you’re not the only one navigating temperamental skin.

Her routine? It’s surprisingly grounded. During flare-ups, Hailey pares back her skincare no harsh actives, no overloading the skin barrier. She favors mild, dermatologist-recommended cosmetics and places more importance on skin healing than appearance. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, especially when your skin is begging for peace, less really is more.

Hailey's candor is refreshing for anyone dealing with perioral dermatitis. It serves as a reminder that patience, not perfection, is the key to maintaining skin, and that even the face of shiny, healthy skin has her bad days.
