How to do it:
Boil water and pour into a bowl
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
Sun damage thickens skin, slows healing, and makes milia more likely—especially on aging skin.
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning, even on cloudy days.
Choose a formula for sensitive skin to avoid further irritation.
