Moisturize tenderly:
→ Choose light, non-comedogenic creams (look for “won’t clog pores”).
→ Skip heavy oils, petrolatum, or thick eye creams—they trap keratin. Try hyaluronic acid serums instead.
Shield from the sun (always):
→ Daily mineral sunscreen (zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) prevents further sun damage.
→ Wear wide-brimmed hats outdoors.
🌸 When to Seek Professional Help
If milia bother you cosmetically, a dermatologist can remove them safely in minutes:
Lancing: A sterile needle creates a tiny opening; the keratin is lifted out.
Electrocautery: A gentle current dissolves the cyst (for stubborn cases).
Topical retinoids: Prescription-only creams that speed cell turnover (used cautiously near eyes).
This isn’t vanity. It’s self-respect.
Your skin has held your joys and sorrows for decades. It deserves care that honors its wisdom—not force that fractures its peace.
