How do you prevent millia?

Here are some tips to help prevent milia:

* Gently cleanse your skin twice a day with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping your skin's natural oils.

* Exfoliate your skin regularly:

- Do not exfoliate more than 1-2 times a week, and avoid harsh scrubs that can damage the skin. Instead, choose gentle exfoliants that contain jojoba beads or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic acid or lactic acid.

* Moisturize regularly:

- Keeping your skin hydrated helps to keep skin cells from clumping together and forming milia.

Choose oil-free, noncomedogenic moisturizers that won't clog your pores. Look for products containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides.

* Avoid picking or squeezing your skin:

- Picking or squeezing milia can cause scarring, infection, and inflammation.

* Don't over-use makeup:

- Heavy makeup, especially oil-based products, can clog pores and lead to milia.

- If you do wear makeup, be sure to remove it thoroughly at the end of the day with a gentle makeup remover.

* Protect your skin from the sun:

- UV rays can damage your skin and make it more susceptible to developing milia.

- Wear sunscreen every day, even if you're not spending much time outdoors. Choose a sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher.
