Milia Seeds / Oil Seeds
Do you get little white bumps under your eyes that disappear in a few weeks? They’re called milia seeds and aren’t related to acne or blackheads. They don’t harm the skin, but can make it look rough.
What is Milia Seed
Milia seeds are small, white bumps that appear on the skin, especially under the eyes. They are caused by trapped keratin under the skin’s surface, hair follicles, or sweat glands.
The skin around the eyes is delicate and lacks oil glands. This can cause dryness, fatigue, and issues. Milia can appear, but they usually disappear on their own. If they persist, they can make the skin appear rough and ruin makeup.
Causes
1. Hormonal Imbalance + Improper Cleaning Habits
Hormonal imbalance and improper cleaning habits can cause milia. When our hormones are imbalanced, our sebaceous gland produces excessive sebum. If we do not properly clean our skin, the build-up of sebum and keratin in our pores leads to the formation of milia.
2. Poor Skincare Habits
Poor skincare habits can lead to milia. Scratching of the skin from frequent or aggressive exfoliation can cause scars where keratin can build up and result in milia formation.
Treatment
There are two kinds of milia: mature and premature. You can treat premature milia by cleansing and controlling oil. Mature milia generally do not disappear naturally.
