Let’s jump in!

What is Milia?

Milia are tiny, white cysts that form when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the skin’s surface. Commonly found around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead, these bumps can appear without any apparent cause. Factors like skincare products, sun damage, and most importantly can play a role in their development.

Tips for Managing Milia

  • Use gentle exfoliants 1-2 times a week to prevent buildup.
  • Avoid heavy, occlusive creams around the eye area and ease off on heavy makeup and concealer around the eyes
  • Maintain a diet rich in antioxidants (berries, leafy greens, capsicum) and low in inflammatory foods (dairy, sugars, alcohol) to support skin health.
  • If your saturated fat intake is high look at reducing this and replacing it with healthy fat sources (avocado, nuts/seeds)
