Does anyone know how to rid of...?

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!

    I'm not sure food and excercise will slove your problem if your genetically predisposed to milia.

    I had 3 of them in my life time, but i caught them early on the first morning that it appeared. What i did was take a hot steamy shower and let the heat shrink the milia while also using a good exfoliating scrub, try clinique. Then for a week i used a hot towel and placed it over where the milia was, and it began to shrink until it finally dissapeared. Well that home therapy worked for me but it may not work for you.

    My dad had a bad case of it for a few years it just randomly appeared. MD Formulations Vit-A-Plus eye cream to get rid of millia, it worked wonders for him. Another product that worked was from this website http://www.organiconline.com.sg/npmilia.htm. Its wonderful stuff, once he used it his milia never returned.

    Hope those suggestions work well for you

    My mom had them and I began to get them. We both cut way down on fat consumption.

    Especially deep fried fast foods, donuts, chips, popcorn, fatty meat, and even chocolate, white, dark, and milk.

    Drink plenty of water, but don't drown yourself. Get good rest and exercise.

    They went away but it took awhile - a few months. I never got them back and it's been almost 40 years. I eat as healthy as I can - whole unprocessed foods and use as many natural products as I can including makeup, soaps, and lotions.

    I only wear eye makeup and lip gloss/lipliner, use castille soaps, and use coconut oil for moisturizer on face and body. It will not clog your pores.

    Good luck. Hope you get good results.
