Milia

Today I awoken rather happy. Why? I hear you ask...

For over a year I had the most annoying little milia sat on the corner of my right eyelid. Today, this morning, its GONE!! Hooray!

I have been slowly prizing it up and away. But oh my it has taken forever! Also quite painful.

As of this morning I will be able to look at my eye makeup & say 'Yep, you look fine'. No one else noticed it. Its just one of those things that I always looked at.

If you are unsure of what milia is, here is the description:
It is a small & harmless cyst. Normally found around the eyes & cheeks. People most likely to get them generally have dry skin.

I have combination skin so this does make sense. I do have a couple of other milia on my cheeks but I'm really not bothered by them and they are really quite under the skin, unlike the one that was on my  eye.

The only way to get rid of milia is:

~ SLOWLY rubbing it upwards. Not really recommended as you can damage the skin...

~ GP appointment. They are obviously trained to take these out, using a small needle to pop it out.

~ A trained BEAUTY THERAPIST with a **certificate**. Some therapist's can also take them out, BUT & a big BUT you need to make sure they have the correct certificate & also their insurance covers them!!! If it goes wrong, you don't want to be left chasing your own tail!

Anyway, I hope it has been an interesting read for you today.
I know its a little different.
