Can sunscreen cause milia?
Yes, certain sunscreens can contribute to the development of milia, particularly those that are heavy or contain thick oils. These products may clog pores, leading to small, white bumps on the skin. It’s important to choose sunscreen formulations that suit your skin type to minimise this risk.
Key points:
- Heavy or oily sunscreens can block pores.
- Some ingredients may irritate sensitive skin.
- Skin reactions can differ based on individual sensitivities.
- Environmental factors may also play a role in skin texture.
