Milia on my face
Hi. First I want to say sorry if I post on a wrong place or in a wrong way but it is my first post ever. I am 31 years old and I have a delicate face skin. It is always dry and no matter how much cosmetic creams and oils I use there is no difference. Also I have a milia all over my chicks which I would like to get rid of if possible. Please advice! Thanks

Hi there,
The use of oils and heavy, rich creams may be making the milia worse. Stick with products made for sensitive skin which are non-pore blocking (non-comedogenic). Ensure you are not using any foaming cleansers or harsh toners with your dry skin.
Milia can be helped by the use of a vitamin A based cream (retinoid), although this can make your skin dryer, so you will have to be careful.
They can also be extracted by a beautician or a dermatologist or removed by electrosurgery.
I hope that helps.
