Milia

Milia - Milia definition

        Milia are white points, formed because the skin cells and sebaceous matter are trapped rather than naturally exfoliated. Milia can appear anywhere on the skin. Usually for the intervention of the cyst (white point) it is used a lancet to remove it. It is best to let a professional do this. Exfoliation of the skin doesn't give fast results. Exfoliation doesn't mean you have to scrub off the top layer of your skin! One way is to use lightweight exfoliating 1-2 times a week, the other, a periodic series of light exfoliating to remove surface residue and to clean the pores.

Milia causes and Milia skin

        Severe skin-care products can be the cause of Milia. As a matter a fact they are the most common reason for milia. One should take care of his face and avoid using low quality products for cleaning the face. You should try to remove the dead skin cells. Many moisturizers with sun protection or protection from light can solve this problem. The eyelids are very thin and they are more likely to be affected by milia. Rate your eye cream and try to find the best for your eyes.

        Due to sun exposure the skin forms a stronger epidermal layer which is a block in the path of exfoliation. This is where the shells really differ. This is another reason why it is recommended to use a cream after the summer months.
