How do you get rid of millia?

[Jaded81]

I heard that using Paula's Choice BHA helps with getting rid of milia? I haven't tried it yet. Has anyone tried it here yet?

I had one on my cheek and dabbed a little eve lom rescue mask on it before going to bed and it was gone in 3 days. I also use an exfoliating toner daily which may help prevent them.

I use emerginC peel & toner kit for home use

I had a stubborn one close to my eye. I tried dipping a q-tip in astringent that has salicylic acid and applied it over several days. The milia came to the surface and I was able to easily remove it

I discovered that using a Clarsonic will bring the milia up to the surface of the skin more
But it doesn't get rid of the milia, you still have to extract it somehow.

I pop them myself. My face does not scar from acne and such so I don't have any issues from breaking them myself.

Yey! Just found an interesting thread that I can relate to...

It depends what caused it. I find that if I use very rich eye creams I get milli a at the tops of my cheeks and around my eyes. I just stopped using eye creams completely. I didn't need them anyway. Overly rich products may cause millia on parts of the face that are susceptible.

I didn't read through every post in this thread so I don't know if anyone mentioned this but when millea occur in adults, it can be a sign of high triglycerides. Especially if you keep getting more, I'd have a doctor check it - or just watch you diet..

Sunlight is the best thing for getting rid of millia. I don't know why, I just know that if I get a lot of of sunshine then they are really easy to squeeze out.
