How to Get Rid of Millas
Milia are small, unwanted white bumps that appear on the face, especially around the eyes, on the nose and chin. These bumps form when dead skin cells do not rub or fall off and become trapped. For many, the milia will disappear as quickly as they appeared. For others, the tiny cysts persist and may even become worse. There are several ways to remove milia from your skin. Does this Spark an idea?

Wash your face twice a day with a facial cleanser that contains the ingredient glycolic acid. Work the cleanser into your face and rinse it away with warm water. Use the face wash carefully to cleanse the skin around the eyes, as this is an area that is prone to milia outbreak.

Apply a facial moisturizer daily that contains vitamin A. The vitamin A will help further exfoliate the skin, which will gently remove the milia and prevent any further white bumps from forming.

Use a home microdermabrasion kit once every one to two weeks. These kits are available at drug and beauty supply stores. The kit involves using a tool to work an exfoliating serum into the skin.

Speak to an esthetician or dermatologist about having the milia professionally removed. The process involves the technician or dermatologist opening the milia with a sterile instrument, such as needle. A tool called a comedone extractor is placed over the opened milia, which is extracted from the skin.
