Milia?

So i recently discovered that I have Milia. It is accumulating on my for head, around my eyes and on my eyelids.
If you don't know, Milia is basically dead skin that fails to fall off and new skin has grown over it forming a cyst.
I was just wondering if any of you have had Milia or know someone who has had it and if you know any home remedies to remove it I would very much appreciate it if you would let me know.
I have contemplated the needle method but I've heard it doesn't remove it permanently and it causes it to come back like acne.
Thanks. :)

Try exfoliating it. I have milia under my eyes and although it's not a long term treatment, it makes worlds of difference. Exfoliating works to get rid of dead skin anyways so wouldnt it make sense? try it! Start gently just in case youre sensitive. Dont use an exfoliant with any acne product in it but something natural like a little bit of sugar and honey (more sugar than honey)

I use a microlance to hook out mine, but my Mums a beauty therapist so I'm a bit lucky there. Wouldn't wanna have to needle it myself, I've not found anything else that gets rid of it. None of mine have ever come back this way, but i only get the odd one under my eye xx
