Selena Gomez revealed that arthritis caused by lupus has directly influenced the design of her Rare Beauty products. Speaking on the September 9 episode of 'Good Hang with Amy Poehler', the singer and actress said her struggles with finger pain and limited dexterity made her realize the importance of accessible packaging.
Gomez, who was diagnosed with lupus in 2013, explained that Rare Beauty initially designed products that were “inherently easy to open,” and later made accessibility a guiding principle for the brand. “We started to make every product with the intention of working for anybody who has dexterity problems,” she said.
