✅ Use Sunscreen:
Sun damage can trigger milia. Protect your skin with broad-spectrum SPF whenever you’re outdoors.
✅ Avoid Heavy Skincare Products:
Thick creams, ointments, and even some makeup products can block your pores. Switch to lightweight, non-comedogenic alternatives and avoid exfoliants with harsh microbeads.
✅ Exfoliate Gently and Regularly:
Regular exfoliation helps your skin shed dead cells and reduces keratin buildup. While babies don’t need this step, adults should exfoliate as part of their skincare routine.
The Bottom Line:
Milia are harmless, painless, and often temporary. While they may be cosmetically bothersome, they generally don’t require treatment unless you choose to pursue it. If you’re unsure or concerned, consult a dermatologist to discuss your options.
In the meantime, treat your skin gently, avoid heavy products, and don’t try to pop or extract milia at home. With patience and the right skincare routine, those tiny white bumps will likely disappear on their own.
