Tiny White Bumps on Your Face? Here’s What They Are—And How to Treat Milia Naturally and Safely at Home

A warm steam facial can open pores and loosen trapped keratin, making it easier for the body to naturally release it.

How to do it:

Boil water and pour into a bowl
Ezoic
Place your face 10–12 inches above the water
Drape a towel over your head to trap steam
Steam for 5–7 minutes, then gently pat dry

Do this once a week, followed by a light moisturizer.

4. Avoid Heavy Creams Around the Eyes
Many eye creams marketed for “anti-aging” are too rich or oily, which can clog delicate skin and lead to milia formation.

Instead, opt for gel-based or non-comedogenic moisturizers, especially near the eyes.

Look for ingredients like:

Hyaluronic acid
Niacinamide
Ceramides
These hydrate without clogging pores.

5. Protect Your Skin with Daily Sunscreen
