milia and how to get rid of it

Milia are those clogged pores on your face that looks like white heads. You can easily pop or squeeze out puss from a white head. Unlike white heads, they are very hard to get rid of because there is a tough layer over the milia that is very stubborn. Milia is generally caused by heavy skincare products or products that are too rich for the skin. I first started getting milia when I started using the clinique all about eyes. Although it was not the rich version, it was too rich for my my skin. At first i thought my skin was breaking out in acne, so I didn't really pay much attention to it. After a few months, more appeared near my under eye area. I even had 3 of them lined up on the right side of my under eye area. I decided to look up what they were and how to get rid of it. I found out it was called milia and a lot of people from different forums said that they used a lancet to extract them out. Some said the only way to get rid of milia was to seen a dermatologist. There were some products and remedies mentions like apple cider vinegar and clear baby shampoo. There was even a post about a cream specifically for milia, but I didn't trust it because it looked like it was spammed by the company that made it. Then someone said that they got rid of milia by exfoliating their skin. That was when I thought to myself maybe my current exfoliator was too gentle since I exfoliate often and it's not doing much. So I finally decided to switch back to my old exfoliator, my clean and clear black head scrub with salicylic acid. I have been using it again for the past two weeks and it has scrubbed a few of the bigger ones off. I noticed that after I used it, the layer on top of the milia was thinner, so I just gently squeezed out the puss. Gross, right? But it worked and it was painless. I still have a lot of milia left, mostly on the right side of my face, the left side cleared up. I use the clean and clear blackhead scrub about 2-3 times a week. Hopefully I can scrub off the rest in the future.
