Tiny Skin Bumps? Here's What They Are and How to Treat Them
Ever looked in the mirror and noticed tiny white bumps around your eyes, nose, or cheeks? They don’t pop like pimples, they don’t go away on their own—and no, you’re not imagining things.
Those little dots are called milia seeds, and you’re definitely not alone. At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we help clients deal with these safely every single week—without causing scars or spreading the problem.
Here’s what you need to know.
So… What Are Milia Seeds?
Milia seeds (also called oil spots or keratin bumps) are tiny cysts that form when dead skin cells or keratin get trapped under your skin.
They look like:
Small white or yellowish dots
Often appearing around the eye area, cheeks, or nose
Hard to the touch and don’t squeeze out like acne
Painless but super annoying to look at
They’re common in both women and men—and especially show up after periods of stress, sun damage, or using heavy skincare products.
What Causes Them?
Here are the usual suspects:
Using oily creams or products that clog pores
Not exfoliating properly
Skin damage from the sun
Genetic tendency to trap keratin under the skin
Wearing makeup overnight (yep, it matters!)
Sometimes milia show up even when you’re doing everything right—which is why the key is treating them, not picking at them.
How We Treat Milia Safely

💆♀️ Add These to Help Keep Milia Away
Once we clear the bumps, we want to keep your skin clean and balanced. That’s where La Dermalogique’s skin-clearing facials come in.
Marine Spicules Skin Renewal – Clears congestion, smooths rough texture
Signature Skin Treatment – Calms irritation and resets your skin barrier
Collagen Banking Microneedling – Boosts skin turnover to prevent clogging
The smoother and cleaner your skin stays, the less likely milia will return.
💡 Don’t Try to Pop Them Yourself
We know—you want them gone. But trying to pop or scrape milia yourself can lead to:
Scarring
Broken skin
More milia forming
Infections (especially around the eyes!)
