Ariana Madix recently opened up about an allergic reaction she had to a skincare product. On May 16, the Vanderpump Rules cast member took to Instagram to document the incident.

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

“This weekend, I learned the hard way that I’m allergic to something in vitamin C skin products. It wasn’t long after I used a new serum that I started itching. Here we go again with the allergic reactions right?” she wrote on a selfie. Ariana noted that her skin was “swelling” and that she had “irritation around [her] mouth.”

To help with the reaction, Ariana took an antihistamine. “Benadryl has been my best friend!” she explained. “I’m hoping [the allergic reaction] goes away without steroids this time.”

Although Ariana’s skin was swollen and irritated, it was nothing a professional makeup artist couldn’t fix. “Wait till you see the magic my amazing glam team did to make me feel beautiful for today’s event,” she wrote. 

In a subsequent snap, Ariana showed off her look for the outing. “[George Miguel Arnone] and [Julius Michael]: thank you for making me feel beautiful today,” she wrote.
