What is Milia

Milia is small, hard, white, or yellowish pumps that typically appear on the face - often found around the eyes,cheeks, or forehead. They are keratin- filled cysts that form when dead cells get trapped under the skins surface instead of being naturally exfoliated.

Although they can be a pain and cosmetically frustrating. They are not harmful and do not need immediate attention.

Prevention
📍Regular exfoliation, i.e., with glycolic or lactic acid, to encourage cell turnover.

📍Proper daily cleaning with the appropriate cleanser. Skintype matters when selecting the appropriate cleanser. Oily skin can benefit from a foam cleanser, while dehydrated/dry skin will respond better to a cleanser that is cream based or milky in texture.

📍Avoiding heavy products around the eyes. Opt for non-comedogenic moisturizers and avoid thick creams around the orbital bone.

📍UV damage can thicken the skin and cause milia to form on the high points of the face, i.e., cheeks and eye area. Always use a mineral sunscreen.

At DGF SkinMed, we offer milia extractions.

Normalizing skincare for men is an important step towards overall wellness and confidence.

Here are a few reasons why having regular facials is important.

1. Skincare = Skin health, Not Gender
Skincare isn't about being 'feminine' ; it's about maintaining the largest organ of the body - your skin. Just as men focus on physical fitness, skincare should be looked at as part of a healthy routine.

2. Facials Aren't Luxuries - They're Maintainence📌
Regular facials improve skin texture, treat clogged pores, and help maintain a radiant complexion. They also address skin concerns caused by shaving, sun exposure, and stress- issues many professional men deal with each day.

3. Shaving and Grooming Irritations
Men's skin, often exposed to daily or weekly shaving, faces challenges like razor burns, ingrown hairs, and sensitivity. Skincare routines and professional treatments target these issues specifically.

Lastly

4. Education and Skincare
Many men don't prioritize skincare simply because they do not know where to start. By normalizing facials, we can provide the educational they need for an effective simple routine.
