One Vogue writer explains why she opted out of the skincare craze in her early thirties.
, MD at NYU Langone Health: “Perioral dermatitis is 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.” Here's my personal definition: every couple months, ugly, raging patches erupt on the lower half of my face.
I can’t say for sure what caused mine. But here’s what I can tell you: Last summer, at age 29, I began to panic that I wasn’t doing enough to “de-age” my skin. I'd spent the whole pandemic incessantly staring at my burgeoning wrinkles on Zoom. When I wasn’t on Zoom, I was on social media, scrolling past influencers dripping delicate oils on their porcelain-doll skin, or I was FaceTiming friends to pass the time.
Weeks later, my dermatologist peered at me through a computer screen as I tried not to bury my burning, scaly-red face in my hands.“Perioral dermatitis,” she said matter-of-factly. “Have you been using any new creams or sunscreens lately?”“To be safe, I'd remove them from your routine,” she said. Then she prescribed me a hefty course of doxycycline.
