Does anyone know how to get rid of this...?

Does anyone know any good way, or any good products to use, to get rid of millia around the lips and eyes? Millia are these tiny white bumps that accumulate around your eyes, and around your lips. I have a few and I HATE them! I have read up on the subject, and there are more than a couple of reasons that millia develop. They can be inherited or they can be attributed to using make-ups that are not for your skin type, etc. I just want to know if anyone has had success at getting rid of millia without having to spend loads of money for fancy products that may or may not even work! I'm looking for more budget friendly, or even homeopathic ways to be rid of them basically. Thanks so much!

    chemical peels and scrubs will clear them up... but they'll also leave your face pretty raw, especially around your eyes. get some lancets from the drugstore. there's another question posted today asking 'does anyone use this skincare tool...'. get that skincare tool. wash then steam your face with a hot wet washcloth, poke those milia with your lancet and push the milia out with the extractor. also, up your water intake. its amazing what sufficient amounts of water will do to improve your skin. good luck! :)
