Milia are whitish, pearl-like masses of sebum and dead cells under the skin and are more common in dry skin types. They are found on the face, lip borders and eye lids. They are not pimples or acne. They are actually tiny cysts that appear as white beads under the skin. Many people try to “pop” them as if they were removing a pimple, but most milia have hard, seed-like centers. Removing them at home may cause scarring. An esthetician can remove it simply by piercing the surface and extracting the dead cells.
Trapped skin cells that cannot exfoliate naturally are the main cause of milia. Some people can prevent them by regularly exfoliating their faces with facial scrubs. Exfoliate your skin to prevent milia, not to cure them. Papaya Creme Enzyme Polish gently cleanses and exofoliates the skin in order to prevent pores from becoming clogged.
