You may have noticed small, firm, white balls on your face, similar to warts or pimples. These are known as milia, which occur due to superficial retention of keratin. Milia are benign and not indicative of any disease, but they can be aesthetically bothersome, often appearing on the cheeks or under the eyes.
Steam Baths: A steam bath helps improve blood circulation, open pores, and eliminate dirt and dead skin cells. Use this method as both a treatment and a preparation for other remedies.
Honey, Sugar, and Lemon Exfoliant: Honey and lemon have antibacterial, astringent, and antioxidant properties. Honey is also a humectant, while sugar provides exfoliation. Mix a tablespoon of honey with lemon juice and a little sugar. Apply this mixture to your face, leave it for 15 minutes, then rinse off.
Pomegranate Peel: Pomegranate has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Grind dried pomegranate peels and mix with honey. Apply to your face, leave for 15 minutes, and rinse. Use daily for a couple of weeks to see results.
Avoid squeezing milia, as this can worsen the condition.
