We present a new characterization of Muckenhoupt $A_{infty}$-weights whose logarithm is in $mathrm{VMO}(mathbb{R})$ in terms of vanishing Carleson measures on $mathbb{R}_+^2$ and vanishing doubling weights on $mathbb{R}$. This also gives a novel description of strongly symmetric homeomorphisms on the real line (a subclass of quasisymmetric homeomorphisms without using quasiconformal extensions.
