🌿 MILIA – CAUSES & PREVENTION 🌿 Milia are tiny white or yellowish bumps that usually appear beneath the skin, especially around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead. They are not painful or inflamed like acne, but they can make the skin look uneven, less radiant, and harder to apply makeup smoothly. 🔎 CAUSES OF MILIA 1. Keratin trapped under the skin When dead skin cells and keratin (a skin protein) fail to shed properly, they accumulate beneath the skin’s surface and form milia. 2. Lack of regular exfoliation Thickened dead skin layers block the skin from “breathing,” creating favorable conditions for milia to develop. 3. Unsuitable skincare products Using overly rich creams, products with heavy oils, or not cleansing thoroughly after makeup can lead to milia formation. 4. Environmental factors Heat, pollution, and UV exposure contribute to skin thickening and keratin buildup, which can trigger milia. 5. Other contributing factors Improper skincare routine. Skin damage after inflammation or minor burns. Hormonal changes or, in some cases, congenital factors. 🌸 HOW TO PREVENT & IMPROVE MILIA Proper cleansing: Double cleanse daily to remove dirt, sunscreen, and makeup residue. Regular exfoliation: Use safe chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA) to keep pores clear. Choose the right products: Opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas free from mineral oils. Sun protection: Always apply sunscreen to prevent thickening and sun damage. Professional treatments: Medical-grade extractions and advanced technology treatments at reputable clinics/spas help remove milia safely without scarring or recurrence. 👉 If you’re struggling with stubborn milia, let LA’BELLA be your trusted partner in achieving clear, radiant skin!
