One quick thing (sorry, I realize I just said I would get right into it), this month’s giveaway will be the very best tote of all time (according to the Strategist): Loeffler Randall’s Dina.

How to Deal with Perioral Dermatitis

This rash is the bane of my existence. I’ve spent hours on Reddit and WebMD, plus hundreds on derm appointments and random prescriptions, all in the name of curing this weird red itchy goatee that seemed to flare at the most inconvenient times. I even wrote a whole piece about it which included interviews with some of the fanciest dermatologists in NYC and LA only to be ghosted by an editor at a major publication (this is a story for a different time). All of which is to say, I am very knowledgeable about this topic from both a personal and a professional (well, you decide) point of view. After a few BAD flareups and a countless number of small outbursts, I now have the knowledge I wish I had when I was desperately combing through r/skincare.
