Milia are small, white, hard bumps on the skin caused by a buildup of keratin, typically appearing on the cheeks or under the eyes. Though harmless, they can be bothersome. Several natural treatments can help reduce milia:
Steam Baths: Steam helps improve blood flow, open pores, and remove dirt and dead skin cells, making it a good preparation for other treatments.
Honey, Sugar, and Lemon Scrub: This mix has antibacterial properties from honey and lemon, while sugar acts as a gentle exfoliant. Apply for 15 minutes and rinse off.
Pomegranate Peel: Pomegranate has anti-inflammatory qualities. Crush dried peels, mix with honey, and apply the paste to your skin for 15 minutes daily to reduce inflammation and milia over time.
Avoid popping milia, as this can worsen the condition. Regular use of these treatments can help clear up milia gradually.
