4 ways to treat milia

Have you ever seen these tiny white bumps near your eye area?

You're looking at milia.

⁠
⁠
Milia is very common. They form when dead skin cells and keratin get trapped underneath the skin.⁠This can occur when you use heavy moisturizes, makeup and/or not exfoliating enough. ⁠
⁠
So here are my 5 best tips on how to get rid of them:⁠
1️⃣ Gently exfoliate the area to try get rid of dead skin cells⁠

2️⃣ Topical salicylic acid and glycolic acid can also help exfoliate the skin

⁠
3️⃣ Topical retinol products can also help increase skin cell turnover, getting rid of dead skin cells faster⁠

4️⃣ As tempting as it might be, don’t pick at them! Picking at them can create inflammation and scarring. ⁠

5️⃣ Your friendly ophthalmologist or dermatologist can help get rid of them safely in the office if they’re not going away!⁠
