In an article published in People, 16 celebrities shared their experiences living with skin diseases. Among them were The Kardashians reality television star Kim Kardashian, singer LeAnn Rimes, hairstylist Jonathan Van Ness, and singer Cyndi Lauper—all of whom opened up about having psoriasis and advocated for self-care routines—and singers Justin Bieber and SZA, who both struggle with acne. Little Fires Everywhere actress Kerry Washington, Family Reunion actress Tia Mowry, and singer Jessica Simpson also discussed receiving diagnoses for eczema and managing the disease. Model Winnie Harlow, who was diagnosed with vitiligo, and Red Table Talk host Jada Pinkett Smith, who was diagnosed with alopecia, have used their platforms to encourage more discourse about their respective conditions and to inspire others to embrace life with a potentially impactful skin disease.
