365. Perioral Dermatitis: How to Soothe a Flare up (According to a Skin Therapist)

This week on Expert, we’re unpacking one of the trickiest (and most misunderstood) skin conditions: perioral dermatitis. It looks like acne, feels a bit like eczema, but it’s neither — and the wrong products can make it even worse.

Skin therapist Tegan knows the struggle firsthand after developing PD during pregnancy. Alongside co-host Sadaf, she shares what it really is, the dos and don’ts of managing a flare, and the simple routine that actually helped calm her skin.

Plus: we confess our spring hygiene habits (be honest, how often are you washing your leggings?), put pimple patches in public to the test in Win, Bin or Recycle, and settle an Adore Anon on whether it’s gross to reuse a sheet mask.

Everything Mentioned:

• The Breakout Hack patch it up - everyday pimple patches
• La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Spray 100ml

• Aspect Gentle Clean

• Anua mild heartleaf oil cleanser
