Trump's Remarks About His Skin

During a campaign rally on November 1, 2024, Trump commented on his skin tone in front of a cheering crowd. The businessman said:

"That beautiful white skin that I have would be nice and tan. I've got the whitest skin cause I never have time to go out in the sun."

Alleged Use of Makeup and Tanning

People have often talked about Trump's face looking very orange. Some believe he uses a tanning bed — an idea shared by Omarosa Manigault in her book, though the White House denied it.

His eyes sometimes look lighter than the rest of his face, which some say could be from wearing goggles during tanning. One White House official said his skin just looks that way because of "good genes."

Trump has also been linked to using makeup. His face, ears, and neck sometimes appear in different shades, which has drawn a lot of attention. Reports claim he used a brand called Bronx Colors, and his shirts often had orange stains on the collar, prompting staff to frequently bring him clean replacements.

Medical History and Skin Condition

Further details about Trump's skin were shared when White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt released the results of his annual physical in April 2025.

The report, issued by the physician to the president, noted two skin-related conditions: well-managed rosacea and actinic keratosis. It also mentioned that he uses mometasone cream as needed to treat his skin.

Trump's treatment for rosacea dates back several years, as noted by one of his former doctors. Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, his longtime physician, once confirmed that he had prescribed antibiotics to help manage the condition. He shared that this was part of a broader care plan that included medications for other health needs.

Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that causes redness on the face and sometimes the eyes. It often affects the nose, cheeks, and forehead, and can include swelling or small pimples.

The condition usually begins after age 30 and may flare up periodically throughout life. While there is no cure, treatments such as creams, lotions, and prescribed medication can help ease the symptoms and manage discomfort.

Managing rosacea often involves identifying triggers, as flare-ups can occur at any time. People living with rosacea usually have specific triggers that cause their symptoms to return or get worse.

These can vary from person to person, but some common causes include sun exposure, extreme heat or cold, emotional stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and certain skin or hair products like lotions or hairspray. Hormonal changes may also play a role in making the condition flare up.

The exact cause of rosacea isn't known, but several factors may contribute. These include abnormalities in blood vessels, dysfunction in the immune or nervous system, an overgrowth of natural skin mites (Demodex), infection with H. pylori bacteria, or irregularities in a skin-protecting protein called cathelicidin.

Donald Trump has been open about his skin tone, even making public remarks about his appearance. Medical records confirmed he has rosacea and actinic keratosis, both of which affect skin color and texture.

Over the years, he has used antibiotics and prescribed creams to manage the condition. While the cause of rosacea remains unclear, its symptoms and treatment have been consistent parts of his health care.
