Milia (Whiteheads)

Milia are whiteheads, that appear on the face especially around the eyes, cheeks and nose area. This happens when sebum and dead skin cells become trapped under the skin and so appear as Whiteheads.

Exfoliate your face twice a week with a soft brush and your cleanser. Look for cleansers with glycolic acid or salicylic acid and use this twice a day to wash your face. Use a moisturizer that has AHA or Vitamin A, C and E. Make sure you also wear sunscreen SPF 20 or more as whiteheads get worse with sunlight.
