You might see small, firm, white bumps on your face, like warts or pimples. These are milia, caused by the superficial retention of keratin. They’re benign, but can be a cosmetic nuisance, often showing up on cheeks or under eyes.
Steam Baths
A steam bath boosts blood circulation, opens pores, and removes dirt and dead skin cells. It can be used as a treatment and to prepare for other remedies.
Honey, Sugar, and Lemon Exfoliant
Honey and lemon have antibacterial, astringent, and antioxidant qualities. Honey is a humectant and sugar exfoliates. Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with lemon juice and a bit of sugar. Apply on your face, leave for 15 minutes, then rinse off.
Pomegranate Peel
Pomegranate has anti – inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Grind dried pomegranate peels and mix with honey. Apply on your face, leave for 15 minutes, and rinse. Use daily for a few weeks to see results.
Don’t squeeze milia, as it can make the situation worse.
