Skin bumps

[SabrinaCC]

Hi! I’ve noticed this kind of skin texture/tiny bumps all over my face. Sometimes it gets better and sometimes it gets worse. However, I can’t seem to fully get rid of it. I do exfoliate and use masks too. Any help?

Those look like milia. I would recommend a milder exfoliant (over exfoliating can cause some problems) and maybe a 3 step daily/twice daily medicated treatment (he Clinique one works well). And maybe try an acne clearing mask once a week (if you want to stay with the same brand, I think clinique as one, but I haven't used it myself.) I would recommend visiting a dermatologist, though, if nothing seems to be working. Milia can be really hard to get rid of, and a dermatologist can help point you in the right direction.

Ugh milia! I got them a lot when I was trying different eye creams, and am still trying to get rid of the ones more occlusive ones caused. You will need to exfoliate- they are full of keratin, so you won’t be able to extract them. It is always a slow process though, because it’s not advisable to use strong exfoliants near the eye area. If you want to get rid of them in a hurry, your dermatologist can help.

I had this and the only thing that worked for me was benzoyl peroxide. I use CLINIQUE - Acne Solutions All-Over Clearing Treatment Oil-Free. That being said, everyone is different and what works for me may not be suitable for you. You may have some trial and error ahead of you before finding a solution.

@SabrinaCCWhat are you exfoliating with? Any chemical exfoliation? Which moisturizer do you use? Something is clogging.

That looks like milia.  They are little keratin filled cysts.  You can try changing your moisturizer to a lighter formula and exfoliating a little more.  If it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist.
