Milia are small, white, or yellowish bumps that commonly appear on the face, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, and nose. These bumps are caused by trapped keratin under the skin and are generally harmless. While they often resolve on their own, there are ways to speed up the process and prevent new ones from forming.
Steps to Remove Milia Safely
Don’t Pick or Squeeze
Avoid trying to pop or squeeze milia. Doing so can irritate your skin, cause scarring, or lead to infection.
Exfoliate Regularly
Use a gentle exfoliator with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), like glycolic acid or salicylic acid. These exfoliants remove dead skin cells and prevent pore blockages.
Use 2-3 times a week, depending on your skin’s sensitivity.
Cleanse Thoroughly
Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities. Avoid harsh scrubs or overly drying cleansers, as they can irritate the skin.
Use Retinoids
Retinol or prescription-strength retinoids can help by increasing cell turnover and preventing keratin buildup. Start with a low-strength product and use it 2-3 times a week to avoid irritation.
