Michelle ive watch you now almost 3 years and am a 30+ years Esthetician and i have removed plenty of milla and you explained the exact way to remove Milla. I had a client that had a very large Milla on her cheek and I ask her if she wanted me to remove it and she told me her Derm was going to charge her 200.00 to remove it and she would have 2 stitches. I removed the Milla and didnt charge her to remove it she was very thrilled to have it removed. I am an educator how to have the best skin care that I custom blend to all skin types. I've always given to my clients more without charging I care about my clients and don't worry about helping them. So I say to you keep up what you are doing to help all that you can help. The problem is it has become all about money instead of how we can help and make our clients happy. Thank you Michelle keep up the great job you are doing ❤
I am also a LE and this is how I remove Milla, too. Well done, Michelle. And, Lila, we have a similar mindset on guest services. To me it's always about providing a plus one. I always ask myself, "What is the extra thing I can do for this guest to really make their day and make a positive difference." I think this is why I am drawn to your channel, Michelle. I see a similar philosophy. Sisters of the soul!! God bless you both.
@@maturemakeupmasterclassBe careful!! Braggs has new owners who have history of anti-human agenda & gmo. Think twice what brands you promote, & who is behind those brands. Otherwise, your video is great.
@@maturemakeupmasterclass I agree! I am one of the people who can't get my teeth done and anything else and not to mention my panic/fear going in anywhere. Btw, I read that Braggs was bought by Bill Gates? You might want to check on ownership if interested 🩶
“This is a video for people who live paycheck to paycheck“. Thank you! There is not enough emphasis on DIY treatments due to lack of funds. People point fingers and insist that everybody run to a physician for everything. That is not an option for most people, especially for cosmetic procedures. People without a lot of money deserve to look their best too.
@@kateingram6987seriously. The overconsumption of products & completely out of touch “influencers” are such a plague on the internet. People are really REALLY struggling. I appreciated her going into those detailed “rants” *multiple* times❤❤❤
I'm a hairstylist and esthetician, and I have zero problems with how you have done your research and emphasize the cleanliness and sanitation of the procedures. Excellent job. However, there are a LOT of do it yourself ers who do not actually do things based on research. They just do what they think is ok. That's dangerous. So, kudos to you for actually sharing researched based info.
Ive been removing skin tags for years. Just tie a loop of thread around it and pull tight. Doesn't hurt. Falls of within 3 days, gone forever! You need to choke off the blood supply that feeds it. Easy peasy. Learned that from my surgeon father in law. Also as another poster commented....skin tags are the result of high insulin. Ive been low carb for 4 years now, no skin tags, no dark rashes anymore.
Putting the brakes on all carbs including whole grains really makes a big difference. I can't bring myself to choke them off with string. But now I don't have to because they all went away after being on keto for a few months
I am so glad that I clicked on your video!! New here, but now am a loyal follower. This video was for ME! I barely get by paycheck to paycheck. I’m a single income household with a special needs son. I have a couple of Malia on my face and wished I knew how to get rid of them! I love how you defended us lower income people, and I thank you for that. You are not deleting business from professionals because we can’t afford to go regardless! 💕
Michelle, I have watched you for almost a year now, and I love how you love your viewers. You are a true Christian and always think about the financial problems we might have. Thank you for caring.
Dermatology Medical Assistant here for 11 years. I worked side by side with over 20 different practitioners in my career. I've learned A LOT about all things derm. You are absolutely on point! If you have good eyesight (or a good magnifying mirror) and steady hands, anyone can remove their own milia this way. The only time I would caution is if the milia is on the eyelash line. Otherwise, these can definitely be safely removed at home. As far as the ACV, as long as its applied with a q tip, like you mentioned, to the tag itself and avoid the healthy surrounding skin as much as possible, it should be fine. (Otherwise, getting it on healthy skin may cause temporary irritation.) Thank you for posting, and I absolutely love your sweet, humble personality! You're gorgeous and so is your heart ❤️
Thank you for the great tips !! Just want to say I stayed at home with my two boys , I really get the no holidays or date nights BUT my boys were loved !! The best thing ever my eldest Rob said to me a couple of years ago…..’I loved coming home from school and you were there!! Money cannot buy that kind of feeling as a kid ❤xx
This is the first video of yours I have seen watched & I immediately subscribed. I really appreciate your attitude regarding people on a budget. I quit my high paying job when my grandson (who is now 9) was diagnosed with autism at age 3. His parents needed someone to care for him when they were working & I am honored they asked me if I could help. I’m not going to lie, the first couple years on a very reduced income was difficult, but now I can’t imagine my life any other way. That little boy brings me more joy than any luxury handbag or makeup product ever could. I can’t wait to get caught up on your older videos now! Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you, Michelle, for being willing to talk about living paycheck to paycheck. I did that for years and it was so hard, and often scary. Even though I am financially stable now (not rich, but able to pay my bills with some left over), I still have trouble spending money sometimes. The fear of not having enough remains.
Thank you for sharing. The Dermatologist told me it was $300 to remove multiple skin tags from my neck. I wanted to cry. I don’t have the $$$ for it and was hoping for a natural way… AND BOOM 💥 here you are! 😊 I’ll give it a try, thank you.
Agree with you! The prices at an average hair salon make getting hair color almost unaffordable. I can buy food for my family of 3 for 4 nights with the cost of one hair color treatment in a salon.
This works!! I've gotten rid of 3 skin tags in the last 5 yrs with apple cider vinegar!! It has to be Mother's unfiltered for me too 👍 It's gone within 5 days & worked for my dad too who has them very often & it saved him a lot of $ 👍 THANK YOU Hun for sticking up for the people struggling financially & sharing a bit of your life struggles 🥰🙏 I love your tips & tricks & how straight forward & real you are!! MUCH appreciated & God bless ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you. First of all, we all spend wayyyy tooo much money on beauty products, hair care, etc. I have never even heard of Milia but I probably have one near my eye--just didn't know what it was called. Thank you for tips. I am 68 and watching my money very closely--as I got divorced after 31 years and now have to work 2 jobs to support myself. I highly recommend also studying financial videos--not to have more money to buy beauty products but to have more money to live. I realize this is a beauty channel so if you can add more videos on saving money on hair care--that would be GREAT! We women need to help each other.
In addition to people with limited funds this is very helpful for people who live in areas with limited access to good providers (I live in a rural area with limited providers and they refuse to extract milia. I will not continue searching as more providers are HOURS away)
I'm only 5 minutes into your video, and I already love you! Thank you for sharing healing ideas that WORK, and are AFFORDABLE. Yes indeed....those who can afford "the best of the best" do not understand about those of us who exist on an extremely limited income. I truly appreciate your intelligent, generous and humble nature. Bless you! 💖🙏
I've had skin tags most of my adult life. I inherited them from my Dad's side of the family. Thank you for this video because now I'm going to use ACV to get rid of them.
So helpful, thank you so much for this! Let me tell you, I am fortunate enough to have full coverage insurance and at my annual skin cancer screening last year, I asked my dermatologist (whom I have complete confidence in)about a milia I had and she handed me a disposable scalpel and said I can take care of it at home. Great, I thought, I’m all for taking care of minor things myself, but when I got home I realized she didn’t tell me how to do it so I turned to RUclips and got the job done. Now, not quite a year later I have another one to take care of and I think the idea of using a diabetic lancet sounds so much better than a scalpel. All this to say, thank you for sharing your knowledge, for your compassion for your audience, and to let you know my wonderful dermatologist at least approves of taking care of this at home.
I would love to hear more about NC. I did the same as you worked less, did without, no dinners, movie, thrift store clothes, but so glad I did you can never get that time back with the kids and experience the special time with them. Must be why I like you so much.
So great! I have removed a few through the years. I disinfect a regular needle with alcohol and do it just as you did. So, a needle from sewing kit works w/ disinfection before and after ❤.
You are super brave for putting this out there among all the critical doctors and reaction videos that love to shame anything that isn't professional. People need to get real. People would be trying to figure this out anyway if it weren't for your help, and probably doing it much more un-hygienically.
I absolutely LOVE your mindset about life, priorities, and the fact that we are empowered. We don’t need to be shamed to believe that only the elites can do things for us. Whatever we can do independently, safely, and on a budget, we should do. America was built on rugged independence. Of course, see the doctor when you need to. But if you can’t afford it, there’s no need to sit around and go without when we can share knowledge and resources with each other and help one another! That’s what God calls us to do.
Hi Michelle, only found you today! It’s crazy, I’ve been looking on you Tube for about 6 years now and I only just find you!! 🤷🏻♀️ Thank you for showing us how to get rid of Milia as I have some under my eyes. They drive me nuts! So to see a simple way to get rid of them is really helpful!! Thank you so much. 🥰 Also, I’m so glad you called out the people who criticise you for showing us these affordable and easier ways of dealing with our skin issues. 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you’re so right, how dare they tell you what to say about anything?! Who do they think they are? 😠 It needed to be said, so ‘go you Michelle’! 🥳 I live in the UK and it’s late now so I will have to catch up on your other videos tomorrow. I have subscribed to your channel of course! 😊 xxx
Great video Michelle! Just FYI, with the exception of your bra line (places with friction) skin tags are an external physical sign of high insulin. Your glucose could still read normal but your insulin could be high. All the doctors I follow and info I’ve read share this and suggest getting a fasting insulin test when you get bloodwork. It should be 5-12 mIU/L and your hbla1c should be 5 or lower. Under 5.3 is what we want. 5.7 is pre diabetic. Glucose really isn’t the best way to test your blood sugar as it can read in the normal range for years but your insulin at the same time is rising.(trying to keep the glucose in normal range) I had a lot of baby skin tags on my neck and when I changed my diet and lowered my “sugar” intake, I kid you not, they slowly fell off!🤯 However, since menopause naturally causes insulin resistance, my last blood test showed my fasting a1c went from 5.3 to 5.6.😳( it was 5.3 pre menopause)
@@maturemakeupmasterclass Right?! You too! It’s amazing what cleaning up our nutrition can do. Who knew?!!! So many people have skin tags and have no idea they have high insulin and maybe even are pre diabetic. It’s such an easy sign that many think it’s normal to have skin tags when in reality we shouldn’t have them. 😉
Girl! I love YOUR ATTITUDE! I'm right there too. paycheck to paycheck when we were raising our kids. We are better off now that we are retired but I'm still a penny pincher. :)
I’ve had a millia just outside my tear duct and it was irritating to close my eye to blink. It had been there at least a month when I found your video and I just extracted it! Thank you so much. I was dreading all the money to save up for the extraction and it took me 10 minutes what had bothered me for a month. 🎉
Thank you so much Michelle. I've had a milia on the tip of my nose forever. I haven't been able to get rid of it. I can't afford a dermatologist. I'll give this a try.
Ohhhh yaasssssss!!!! I have been doing this treatment for my skin tags as well! Mine came from pregnancy too! So far, I have removed two. 1 of them developed on my face, right by my mouth....It was so ANNOYING! Lol. I was soooo HAPPY to have removed that one by my mouth. I had thanked the Lord over and over again for it! I had first seen this method from a young man that I follow on here. I forget his name, but I am so thankful that I watched his video. He did it on his own body to test it. It worked for him, so I did it too. I found out that I am allergic to latex that is inside some band-aid brands. That healed, but I was scared badly from using those bandages. I have 5 more to remove from my neck. I use the Bragg's brand with the mother as well. That's the only brand of ACV that I use. Lol, you're right about smelling like a salad, but it's worth it for me. I also use ACV for controlling the eczema on my face. I won't use it staright out of the bottle though, I will dilute it with water first. Then dip my cotton pad in it and apply it on my face twice a day. Once in the morning and once at bedtime. It's worked. The eczema is gone! Praise God! I'm glad that I came across your video. God bless you & thank you for being transparent about being a budget friendly YT influencer! 😘😁💯💖💖
I thought I was allergic to latex and bandages, but it turned out to be a sensitivity to adhesive. If I left a bandaid on for 48 hours, I would blister under the sticky part of bandage. Gauze and paper tape work better. Give that a try.
I've been having milia for most of my adult life. Thru a friend, I learned to use a skintag removal pen ,which basically burns it and do not leave a scar!!❤❤❤
I just ran across your channel I didn't know what this bump was on the upper side inside of my nose now I know it's Milia thank you Ive had to cut & color my hair at home for a few years now Im a senior living on a low fixed income thank you for your honesty❤❤❤❤❤
You are amazing! I'm going to school right now for esthetician, and I couldn't agree with you more! People can't afford things, those are luxuries!! We need more beautiful souls in this world unless greedy mean people!
You are so generous and yes!!! You dont need to stop your amazing personality and giving your time and care. How and who dare they? People are shallow and not very emotionally intelligent to ra ra over your videos. Plenty of people look forward to your videos,sharing and honesty
Bravo! I have easily congested skin and have removed Millia like this for years! But probably haven’t been as hygienic as you describe so thank you. Will def try this on annoying skin tags. I love you, your heart, your content and your approach to mature beauty. Wish you all the success in the world.
I have been treating Mila for years and I am over the moon excited about your tip about the lancet. I had a kitty cat with diabetes 15 years ago and had leftover needles. I was on my last one seriously now I can get lancets to deal with these rascals *thank you for all you do to help us out.
You are truly an awesome lady with realistic vibes! I understand not being able to afford things, but also why not try and educate yourself with things like this if you’re comfortable doing them, why not save some cash?! There’s nothing wrong with that! Beauty services are very expensive! Save your money where you can. As far as negative comments…. Those are coming from trolls! When you go to watch someone’s video, it’s because you have an interest in it, if it’s just to trash people, then you need a different hobby!
I am a woman of a certain age, post- menopausal, (due to working full-time, yet unknowingly classified as a "per diem" by my employer of close to 40 years, I found out at age of retirement...) with several skin concerns which meed help; I now live with a much smaller income, the hand to mouth style you spoke of, so it seems I must take the high road but, only on the poorman's program of DYI! Thank you for keeping it real
I recently found your channel and I'm SO glad I did. I relate to you so much and I stay home with my children as well. Thank you for all these tips and all of the videos you film for us. I'm grateful to have found you because you're such a breath of fresh air to listen to. I have been catching up on your videos while I'm cooking dinner 💖☺✝
Thank you so much for your input and helpful information. I get skin tags and I know a lot of women who do and many of them can not afford goring to a dermatologist and getting expensive procedures. So helpful. People who criticize don’t think sometimes what did people do before dermatologists and all these fancy doctors when much of America was rural.
organic castor oil, hexane free,,, is a nature= natural miracle for especially topical treatment!!! You are wise all of your suggestions are awesome!!!
Good job. I have taken the Millie out using a needle and tweezers. Disinfecting is a must. Home remedies, inventions or something grandmother did is great. Independence not for the sake of being independent but because it works. Thank you.😊
I absolutely LOVE YA! Same here with living on little and doing my best to research. You explained it perfectly about enjoying your time with your daughter and never regretting any of it even tho no vacations or baby sitter date nights. I GET IT! YES I DO. This is the time to invest in our children and let the rest go because our plans are to LOVE our children and no amount of money would change that. Thank you!
Michelle, I can’t thank you enough for being honest about people struggling each month because of low income. I am about to be 72 and I can barely make it now. I have a dog, Daisy, who is a diabetic and has an enlarged heart. And she’s blind! Her meds are so expensive and as long as I make sure she takes it each day, she is fine. In other words she is in no pain. All this to say, I have two milia and now I can get rid of them myself! Makes me very happy! Love your channel and will be watching from now on. God bless✝️
You are absolutely wonderful I got rid of one milia one on my cheek because you showed me how to do it I love you so much I feel there might be two more which have not really have come out yet but I can feel them I will just wait until they come up God bless you 🙏 love Maria from Cyprus ❤❤❤
Thank you Michelle! I suffer from both, but I particularly dislike the milia on my face. It makes the skin texture so unsightly! I have removed them before, but the lancet is far better than using a pin. Great tips!
I have little bumps under my eyes, Milla I guess, and have had them for so many years and no matter what I do I can't get rid of them. I stopped using eye cream a while back because it made them worse. Whenever I use something with alot of moisture under my eyes I just get more of them. I would LOVE to finally get rid of them after having them for over 30 years.
I had those taken out by my dermatologist. She has a device that literally absorbs them out. I don’t want to squeeze anything close to my eye because I’ll put pressure in my eyeball.
I think if we can do something well ourselves, we should-money or no money. Frugality is wise and how i choose to spend my money is nobody’s business but my own. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this informative video! I will give it a try! (changing subject) My son played football and had horrible plantar warts on his feet. We spent so much money on dermatology visits freezing them, burning them and they would come back worse! After relying on crutches for weeks after the last visit I decided to do something myself. I used Neem Cure by Just Neem after I used the Amope Pedi electric foot file, and covered with band aids every night for about a week and a half. They completely went away and haven't returned !!! Its been years since I treated his feet! Why suffer? It makes me upset that dermatologists do not know about these easy remedies. Plantar warts are debilitating and so painful!
Was the neem an oil? I'm going to try it! I had some in my early 20s they froze off and then still had to cut out....and now I have a small one that won't go away and I don't want the treatment.
Michelle, keep doing what you do! It is so refreshing to see budget-conscious tips like the ones you present. And thank you for being authentic and transparent about your own experiences! It resonates with a community that loves and appreciates you!!!🥰
Thank you Michelle.. I’ve got one under my eye I hate I’ve tried to mash it but I have lancets .. I’m a diabetic I have insurance but I can’t get to the dermatologist.. we’re in a small rural area.. I get my hair done once a year now it’s gotten to expensive and listen my dad was a barber stylist for 40 years and I support all the beauty services.. but I can’t pay 150$ 200$ or more for some foils and cut… they don’t even style your hair these days that’s extra & I understand it’s fine.. but my dad did men’s & women’s hair for years and he never would have sent any woman out of his shop without styling their hair…
I've been doing this procedure for many years. I sometimes put a hydrocollidal (lip blister) patch on afterward. I have also applied salicylic acid on the Milian for a few days or so before using a lancet, to encourage things to come to the surface.
I love your conviction. I have "popped" out milia of my own as well. Going to a doctor for something so simple is not a mindset that I hold. As far as the skin tags, I was covered with them during all my pregnancies, my husband would just pluck them off with tweezers. Ultimately, they all disappeared once the baby came. Thank you for sharing all the information that you do.
Ive gotten rid of a couple of milia myself in a similar way but was so sterile about it. Just clean about it though and I was so pleased to get rid of them. They never came back.
After I poked my skin over my milia, I use a comedone extractor to get the little ball out. Gently. I’ve never made a scar and I remove at least one every month.
@ lol. It’s a little stick thingy with a loop at the end to remove blackheads. You put your blackhead or milia in the middle of the hole and gently push it down. It applies pressure evenly around your milia or blackhead and pops it out. Prevents scarring and is more gentle on your skin. Google it! You should find some at the pharmacy or even Amazon.
Thank you for the amazing information. I have experienced milia, it is annoying, I did not even think of going to a doctor, I will use your treatment the next time I experience milia. I had skin tags and did not even realize until later, mine disappeared when I was using intermittent fasting for weight loss, I also drank 2 tablespoons of Braggs with water everyday. I love Braggs too. You skin looks amazing!
I remove milia the exact same way! I stopped getting skin tags after menopause but I will definitely try your method if one ever pops up again. Thanks!!
Your “Aquaphor as a primer” video led me to this. I’m so glad that you’re sharing your knowledge for people who can’t afford these services. Believe me, if I had the money, I’d much rather be pampered than do it myself. Thank you so much for not gate-keeping your beauty tips ❤❤❤
Just ran across your page and saw that you have a remedy for skin tags! It was so wonderful to know that apple cider vinegar can get rid of my skin tag that I hated for so long! Thank you so much for this wonderful commentary and I will be watching and subscribing😀❤️
Michelle, you are spot on telling it like it is. We've all been there living paycheck to paycheck and it is rough. I have insurance and I think the last time I had skin tags zapped that I ended up having to pay out of pocket due to not being covered. Unreal! The Milia scares me because of my vision but I'll look into the skin tag at home treatment if needed. I have only had 1 Milia and it went away on its own (thank God). Thank you for keeping it real! Hugs, KC
Great tips! Another great tip for skin tags is exactly like you described it but replace the smelly vinagre with castor oil! It's really working and you won't smell bad the next day❤
ACV also gets rid of WARTS the same way that you mentioned! It works and my son's BIG WART on his knee disappeared after about 4 days (it turned black first) then dropped off. NEVER EVER, EVER PICK AT IT ... NEVER!!! He's now 37 and he got rid of his wart in about Grade 8 ... and it's never grown back. 🙏💪👌
You go girl! I was a singe parent and made very little money and it was really rough! Good for you for pushing back to those who may not understand! Good for YOU!
⚡️First time seeing your channel. Thank you so much for sharing this info. You seem like a kind, genuine lady, not to mention beautiful! All the best ✨🙏🏽💖😎
I wish I could give this video a million likes! I'm on a disability pension after medical mistakes caused a lot of health issues and handicaps. I've suffered from milia for ages, and it is never, ever one or two. Both my cheeks, under my eyes, the edge of my lips, and even my nose can be full of them! And I currently have them on most of those places. I honestly have no idea why I keep getting them, as I have excellent skincare and don't put weird things on my face. I've managed to remove the one on the lip with a needle you use to pin clothing. Sterilised it in alcohol. That wàs painful, btw, but it was a big and deep sucker in a place with a gazillion nerve endings. I wish I could do my entire face, but I just don't dare do the ones around my eyes (here you can't buy diabetic needles otc. I have needles of my own for B12 injections, but those are most likely too thick), especially since I don't have the right equipment. Plus, some are in really hard places, and I suffer from 2 conditions that don't make my hands the steadiest or strongest, nor can I keep them upright towards my face for a relatively long time. I fear I hàve to have it done professionally now. It's getting worse, too. I spoke to an aesthetician just for info, and she told me that she hadn't seen it this bad in years (I told her I hadn't been able to afford treatment so it kept getting worse). Because it's now so bad, with many really deep as well, she said it would take 2 sittings 😢. She has also advised me to get a numbing cream from my family doctor. On that, I do disagree with Michelle. In some places, removing milia doesn’t hurt, especially when you're quick to handle them. But that isn't always the case. Sensitive places or very deep milia can be quite painful at times. At least, that's my experience. Apparently, my new aesthetician's as well. Anyway...I have no idea how I'm going to afford this. I got a bit of extra back on my tax return, but that was supposed to go towards a second-hand couch, as the entire top layer of the fabric is gone AND you can put your hand in the cushions and touch the bottom 😒🥴 - as has been the case for a few years already. I'll figure it out! I always do!
I seem to only get them if I eat cheap bread and ramen type noodles (cheap wheat!). I eliminated both from my diet and have zero Milia. My skincare is very basic. Soap, water, witch hazel, PABA free oil of Olay (store brand). Good luck!
@@minecraftbuilder3110 I have suuuuuper difficult skin. If I would use what you do I probably would have open wounds on my face, brrr. Anyway, I don't eat wheat 99% of the time. Only during a gastritis situation will I enter a half or quarter loaf per week as this tends to calm it. But then it'll be special bread from a bakery. I think it's part of my extremely dry & sensitive skin situation. I didn't have them for a couple of years, ever since I introduced a certain skincare regime. Unfortunately one of the products got discontinued, I had to look for a replacement... got severe dermatitis from one of those and at the same time my immune system had a panic attack. I couldn't use ANY acids for a year, plus I suddenly responded badly to products that had actually helped me for years. That's when those nasty milia came back with a vengeance as well. I need to use lactic acid daily and an AHA twice a month + a sh*tload of mousturising products (A hydrating essence mixed with hyaluronic acid, then a hydrating mist or ampoule*, nourishing day cream and then a Ceramide cream mist throughout thev entire day to keep up the hydration. * Ampoules in autumn and winter, the mists when warm. The day cream is also a tad thicker in winter) to keep my face decent. And then I'm not even speaking about the rest of my body 🤦♀️. Anyway, long story short: I think those milia were holding up somewhere and as soon as their general saw that the enemy (acid+ certain moisturiser) had to retreat he formed a plan of attack. And it worked. They conquered a lot of facial real estate and have really dug themselves in... Oh well. Be very lucky you seem to have such easy skin if all you need is some Olay (makes my skin burn) and soap. 😉
Amen!!! You are so right!!! I'm one who can't afford all those fancy!! And I have removed my own milia as well!! And i am loving more E.L.F due to your awesome videos! Bless your heart for all that you do!! I wish I could move out of California!!
Thank you for your honesty. I too, live paycheck to paycheck and it can be frustrating watching some influencers trying to promote high priced skin and beauty products. So glad to have found you. Thank you for helping people like me. God bless you. ❤

@@kateingram6987seriously. The overconsumption of products & completely out of touch “influencers” are such a plague on the internet. People are really REALLY struggling. I appreciated her going into those detailed “rants” *multiple* times❤❤❤
Omg the ‘How dare you” gave me chills - thank you for saying that. You are eloquent and beautiful, and thank you for all the tips 💕✨
I'm a hairstylist and esthetician, and I have zero problems with how you have done your research and emphasize the cleanliness and sanitation of the procedures. Excellent job. However, there are a LOT of do it yourself ers who do not actually do things based on research. They just do what they think is ok. That's dangerous. So, kudos to you for actually sharing researched based info.
Thanks Melodie, that means a lot. Im in the union so our hygiene standards are high! We can be fined for not being clean ❤
You are so down to earth and I appreciate that about you. Not everyone can afford to go to a stylist or whatever. Keep doing what you are doing.
I will, Judi, I am here to educate❤
@@maturemakeupmasterclass Your Welcome. You are very much appreciated 🩷
Ive been removing skin tags for years. Just tie a loop of thread around it and pull tight. Doesn't hurt. Falls of within 3 days, gone forever! You need to choke off the blood supply that feeds it. Easy peasy. Learned that from my surgeon father in law. Also as another poster commented....skin tags are the result of high insulin. Ive been low carb for 4 years now, no skin tags, no dark rashes anymore.
That method scared me 😮😂
Putting the brakes on all carbs including whole grains really makes a big difference. I can't bring myself to choke them off with string. But now I don't have to because they all went away after being on keto for a few months
True,but I find my chain causes them on my neck also.
@@maryhamill36 my bra straps near my armpits cause it.
Yup.....works every time. Loop thread around it
I am so glad that I clicked on your video!! New here, but now am a loyal follower. This video was for ME! I barely get by paycheck to paycheck. I’m a single income household with a special needs son. I have a couple of Malia on my face and wished I knew how to get rid of them! I love how you defended us lower income people, and I thank you for that. You are not deleting business from professionals because we can’t afford to go regardless! 💕
Welcome❤
Michelle, I have watched you for almost a year now, and I love how you love your viewers. You are a true Christian and always think about the financial problems we might have. Thank you for caring.
Dermatology Medical Assistant here for 11 years. I worked side by side with over 20 different practitioners in my career. I've learned A LOT about all things derm. You are absolutely on point! If you have good eyesight (or a good magnifying mirror) and steady hands, anyone can remove their own milia this way. The only time I would caution is if the milia is on the eyelash line. Otherwise, these can definitely be safely removed at home.
As far as the ACV, as long as its applied with a q tip, like you mentioned, to the tag itself and avoid the healthy surrounding skin as much as possible, it should be fine. (Otherwise, getting it on healthy skin may cause temporary irritation.) Thank you for posting, and I absolutely love your sweet, humble personality! You're gorgeous and so is your heart ❤️
Thank you for the great tips !!
Just want to say I stayed at home with my two boys , I really get the no holidays or date nights BUT my boys were loved !! The best thing ever my eldest Rob said to me a couple of years ago…..’I loved coming home from school and you were there!! Money cannot buy that kind of feeling as a kid ❤xx
Amen! Zero regrets❤
My daughters have said the same thing. No regrets here either.
This is the first video of yours I have seen watched & I immediately subscribed. I really appreciate your attitude regarding people on a budget. I quit my high paying job when my grandson (who is now 9) was diagnosed with autism at age 3. His parents needed someone to care for him when they were working & I am honored they asked me if I could help. I’m not going to lie, the first couple years on a very reduced income was difficult, but now I can’t imagine my life any other way. That little boy brings me more joy than any luxury handbag or makeup product ever could. I can’t wait to get caught up on your older videos now! Thank you so much! ❤
Ahhh it takes a village and I love how your helping your family. Your grandson is blessed to have you care for him!
@@lisapurzak722 thank you for your kind words. It’s most definitely a blessing to be able to help our families, isn’t it? ❤️
Thank you, Michelle, for being willing to talk about living paycheck to paycheck. I did that for years and it was so hard, and often scary. Even though I am financially stable now (not rich, but able to pay my bills with some left over), I still have trouble spending money sometimes. The fear of not having enough remains.
AVERAGE PEOPLE ARE IN THIS SITUATION! THANKU THIS AWESOME CHANNEL!!
Thank you for sharing. The Dermatologist told me it was $300 to remove multiple skin tags from my neck. I wanted to cry. I don’t have the $$$ for it and was hoping for a natural way… AND BOOM 💥 here you are! 😊 I’ll give it a try, thank you.
and did it work?
Agree with you! The prices at an average hair salon make getting hair color almost unaffordable. I can buy food for my family of 3 for 4 nights with the cost of one hair color treatment in a salon.
This works!! I've gotten rid of 3 skin tags in the last 5 yrs with apple cider vinegar!! It has to be Mother's unfiltered for me too 👍 It's gone within 5 days & worked for my dad too who has them very often & it saved him a lot of $ 👍 THANK YOU Hun for sticking up for the people struggling financially & sharing a bit of your life struggles 🥰🙏 I love your tips & tricks & how straight forward & real you are!! MUCH appreciated & God bless ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you. First of all, we all spend wayyyy tooo much money on beauty products, hair care, etc. I have never even heard of Milia but I probably have one near my eye--just didn't know what it was called. Thank you for tips. I am 68 and watching my money very closely--as I got divorced after 31 years and now have to work 2 jobs to support myself. I highly recommend also studying financial videos--not to have more money to buy beauty products but to have more money to live. I realize this is a beauty channel so if you can add more videos on saving money on hair care--that would be GREAT! We women need to help each other.
You are wise and I appreciate your concern about consumerism ❤
Thank you for sharing this for those of us who are struggling 🙏
You are so welcome!
In addition to people with limited funds this is very helpful for people who live in areas with limited access to good providers (I live in a rural area with limited providers and they refuse to extract milia. I will not continue searching as more providers are HOURS away)
I'm only 5 minutes into your video, and I already love you! Thank you for sharing healing ideas that WORK, and are AFFORDABLE. Yes indeed....those who can afford "the best of the best" do not understand about those of us who exist on an extremely limited income. I truly appreciate your intelligent, generous and humble nature. Bless you! 💖🙏
I've had skin tags most of my adult life. I inherited them from my Dad's side of the family. Thank you for this video because now I'm going to use ACV to get rid of them.
Check your insulin levels. Skin tags are typically due to insulin resistance.
So helpful, thank you so much for this! Let me tell you, I am fortunate enough to have full coverage insurance and at my annual skin cancer screening last year, I asked my dermatologist (whom I have complete confidence in)about a milia I had and she handed me a disposable scalpel and said I can take care of it at home. Great, I thought, I’m all for taking care of minor things myself, but when I got home I realized she didn’t tell me how to do it so I turned to RUclips and got the job done. Now, not quite a year later I have another one to take care of and I think the idea of using a diabetic lancet sounds so much better than a scalpel. All this to say, thank you for sharing your knowledge, for your compassion for your audience, and to let you know my wonderful dermatologist at least approves of taking care of this at home.
Thanks for sharing that! Gosh, a scalpel with no instruction??😮
I would love to hear more about NC. I did the same as you worked less, did without, no dinners, movie, thrift store clothes, but so glad I did you can never get that time back with the kids and experience the special time with them. Must be why I like you so much.
Love that and love you!!❤
Thank you so much for helping us girls who can't afford all these products that help us , that we can afford ! You go girl !!!!🎉❤🎉
So great! I have removed a few through the years. I disinfect a regular needle with alcohol and do it just as you did. So, a needle from sewing kit works w/ disinfection before and after ❤.
Me too
Love how you meet people where they are! Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge. I’ve learned so much from you (I’m 61).
You are super brave for putting this out there among all the critical doctors and reaction videos that love to shame anything that isn't professional. People need to get real. People would be trying to figure this out anyway if it weren't for your help, and probably doing it much more un-hygienically.
I am here to serve people so I cant worry too much about the “experts”❤
I absolutely LOVE your mindset about life, priorities, and the fact that we are empowered. We don’t need to be shamed to believe that only the elites can do things for us. Whatever we can do independently, safely, and on a budget, we should do. America was built on rugged independence. Of course, see the doctor when you need to. But if you can’t afford it, there’s no need to sit around and go without when we can share knowledge and resources with each other and help one another! That’s what God calls us to do.
Thank you so much for being so real and just letting us all look our best no matter our personal budgets!
I got you! ❤
Hi Michelle, only found you today! It’s crazy, I’ve been looking on you Tube for about 6 years now and I only just find you!! 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for showing us how to get rid of Milia as I have some under my eyes. They drive me nuts! So to see a simple way to get rid of them is really helpful!!
Thank you so much. 🥰
Also, I’m so glad you called out the people who criticise you for showing us these affordable and easier ways of dealing with our skin issues. 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you’re so right, how dare they tell you what to say about anything?! Who do they think they are? 😠
It needed to be said, so ‘go you Michelle’! 🥳
I live in the UK and it’s late now so I will have to catch up on your other videos tomorrow. I have subscribed to your channel of course! 😊 xxx
Great video Michelle! Just FYI, with the exception of your bra line (places with friction) skin tags are an external physical sign of high insulin. Your glucose could still read normal but your insulin could be high. All the doctors I follow and info I’ve read share this and suggest getting a fasting insulin test when you get bloodwork. It should be 5-12 mIU/L and your hbla1c should be 5 or lower. Under 5.3 is what we want. 5.7 is pre diabetic. Glucose really isn’t the best way to test your blood sugar as it can read in the normal range for years but your insulin at the same time is rising.(trying to keep the glucose in normal range) I had a lot of baby skin tags on my neck and when I changed my diet and lowered my “sugar” intake, I kid you not, they slowly fell off!🤯 However, since menopause naturally causes insulin resistance, my last blood test showed my fasting a1c went from 5.3 to 5.6.😳( it was 5.3 pre menopause)
ThAt is so interesting. That explains why I haven’t had them in years then, I’m pretty low-carb and eat high protein since menopause
@@maturemakeupmasterclass Right?! You too! It’s amazing what cleaning up our nutrition can do. Who knew?!!! So many people have skin tags and have no idea they have high insulin and maybe even are pre diabetic. It’s such an easy sign that many think it’s normal to have skin tags when in reality we shouldn’t have them. 😉
Blood tests say 5.6 is the highest normal and 5.7 is pre diabetic. I agree that it should be below 5.1 if possible.
@leslieh3785 but are you talking a1c which is glucose level? Or are you aware that insulin level is measuring a different hormone?
@@leslieh3785 Yes. You’re right. I meant 5.6.
Thank you for explaining the eye trick with the Aquaphor. That explains so much.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for helping others. Those hacks were used in the "olden days"! You are not using chemicals.. We need to get back to nature!
Love❤
Girl! I love YOUR ATTITUDE! I'm right there too. paycheck to paycheck when we were raising our kids. We are better off now that we are retired but I'm still a penny pincher. :)
Thank you so much after pregnancy I got so many skin tags & cannot afford a dermatologist to remove them 🙌
I’ve had a millia just outside my tear duct and it was irritating to close my eye to blink. It had been there at least a month when I found your video and I just extracted it! Thank you so much. I was dreading all the money to save up for the extraction and it took me 10 minutes what had bothered me for a month. 🎉
Thank you!! From a hard working, frugal woman, I appreciate you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much Michelle. I've had a milia on the tip of my nose forever. I haven't been able to get rid of it. I can't afford a dermatologist. I'll give this a try.
Ohhhh yaasssssss!!!! I have been doing this treatment for my skin tags as well! Mine came from pregnancy too! So far, I have removed two. 1 of them developed on my face, right by my mouth....It was so ANNOYING! Lol. I was soooo HAPPY to have removed that one by my mouth. I had thanked the Lord over and over again for it! I had first seen this method from a young man that I follow on here. I forget his name, but I am so thankful that I watched his video. He did it on his own body to test it. It worked for him, so I did it too. I found out that I am allergic to latex that is inside some band-aid brands. That healed, but I was scared badly from using those bandages. I have 5 more to remove from my neck. I use the Bragg's brand with the mother as well. That's the only brand of ACV that I use. Lol, you're right about smelling like a salad, but it's worth it for me. I also use ACV for controlling the eczema on my face. I won't use it staright out of the bottle though, I will dilute it with water first. Then dip my cotton pad in it and apply it on my face twice a day. Once in the morning and once at bedtime. It's worked. The eczema is gone! Praise God! I'm glad that I came across your video. God bless you & thank you for being transparent about being a budget friendly YT influencer! 😘😁💯💖💖
I thought I was allergic to latex and bandages, but it turned out to be a sensitivity to adhesive. If I left a bandaid on for 48 hours, I would blister under the sticky part of bandage. Gauze and paper tape work better. Give that a try.
I've been having milia for most of my adult life. Thru a friend, I learned to use a skintag removal pen ,which basically burns it and do not leave a scar!!❤❤❤
Thank you, Brave Woman! I love your honesty and knowledge!
You are so welcome and thanks for being here
I just ran across your channel I didn't know what this bump was on the upper side inside of my nose now I know it's Milia thank you Ive had to cut & color my hair at home for a few years now Im a senior living on a low fixed income thank you for your honesty❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much. I had 3 milia on face and removed them using this method. It turned out great.
Wonderful!
You are amazing! I'm going to school right now for esthetician, and I couldn't agree with you more! People can't afford things, those are luxuries!! We need more beautiful souls in this world unless greedy mean people!
You are so generous and yes!!! You dont need to stop your amazing personality and giving your time and care. How and who dare they?
People are shallow and not very emotionally intelligent to ra ra over your videos.
Plenty of people look forward to your videos,sharing and honesty
Bravo! I have easily congested skin and have removed Millia like this for years! But probably haven’t been as hygienic as you describe so thank you. Will def try this on annoying skin tags. I love you, your heart, your content and your approach to mature beauty. Wish you all the success in the world.
Thank you! I receive that! Thank you for being here today❤
GREAT & MUCH NEEDED video!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
I have been treating Mila for years and I am over the moon excited about your tip about the lancet. I had a kitty cat with diabetes 15 years ago and had leftover needles. I was on my last one seriously now I can get lancets to deal with these rascals *thank you for all you do to help us out.
You are truly an awesome lady with realistic vibes! I understand not being able to afford things, but also why not try and educate yourself with things like this if you’re comfortable doing them, why not save some cash?! There’s nothing wrong with that! Beauty services are very expensive! Save your money where you can. As far as negative comments…. Those are coming from trolls! When you go to watch someone’s video, it’s because you have an interest in it, if it’s just to trash people, then you need a different hobby!
I am a woman of a certain age, post- menopausal, (due to working full-time, yet unknowingly classified as a "per diem" by my employer of close to 40 years, I found out at age of retirement...) with several skin concerns which meed help; I now live with a much smaller income, the hand to mouth style you spoke of, so it seems I must take the high road but, only on the poorman's program of DYI!
Thank you for keeping it real
Same here. 🩷
I recently found your channel and I'm SO glad I did. I relate to you so much and I stay home with my children as well. Thank you for all these tips and all of the videos you film for us. I'm grateful to have found you because you're such a breath of fresh air to listen to. I have been catching up on your videos while I'm cooking dinner 💖☺✝
Thank you so much for your input and helpful information. I get skin tags and I know a lot of women who do and many of them can not afford goring to a dermatologist and getting expensive procedures. So helpful. People who criticize don’t think sometimes what did people do before dermatologists and all these fancy doctors when much of America was rural.
organic castor oil, hexane free,,, is a nature= natural miracle for especially topical treatment!!! You are wise all of your suggestions are awesome!!!
Good job. I have taken the Millie out using a needle and tweezers. Disinfecting is a must. Home remedies, inventions or something grandmother did is great. Independence not for the sake of being independent but because it works. Thank you.😊
Thank you so much for this video. This is me right now - deciding between doctor's appointments and gas/food. I really needed this ❤
Appreciate you reaching out to those who are living paycheck to paycheck.
Love this! Also, Dr. Scholl's now has an at home skin tag freeze removal kit -- I used it on a larger, flatter one on my arm and it worked wonders!
Thank you!!!! I have flatter mole style ones around my bra line❤
I absolutely LOVE YA! Same here with living on little and doing my best to research. You explained it perfectly about enjoying your time with your daughter and never regretting any of it even tho no vacations or baby sitter date nights. I GET IT! YES I DO. This is the time to invest in our children and let the rest go because our plans are to LOVE our children and no amount of money would change that. Thank you!
Michelle, I can’t thank you enough for being honest about people struggling each month because of low income. I am about to be 72 and I can barely make it now. I have a dog, Daisy, who is a diabetic and has an enlarged heart. And she’s blind! Her meds are so expensive and as long as I make sure she takes it each day, she is fine. In other words she is in no pain. All this to say, I have two milia and now I can get rid of them myself! Makes me very happy! Love your channel and will be watching from now on. God bless✝️
You are absolutely wonderful I got rid of one milia one on my cheek because you showed me how to do it I love you so much I feel there might be two more which have not really have come out yet but I can feel them I will just wait until they come up God bless you 🙏 love Maria from Cyprus ❤❤❤
Thank you Michelle! I suffer from both, but I particularly dislike the milia on my face. It makes the skin texture so unsightly! I have removed them before, but the lancet is far better than using a pin. Great tips!
I have little bumps under my eyes, Milla I guess, and have had them for so many years and no matter what I do I can't get rid of them. I stopped using eye cream a while back because it made them worse. Whenever I use something with alot of moisture under my eyes I just get more of them. I would LOVE to finally get rid of them after having them for over 30 years.
I had those taken out by my dermatologist. She has a device that literally absorbs them out. I don’t want to squeeze anything close to my eye because I’ll put pressure in my eyeball.
I think if we can do something well ourselves, we should-money or no money. Frugality is wise and how i choose to spend my money is nobody’s business but my own. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this informative video! I will give it a try! (changing subject) My son played football and had horrible plantar warts on his feet. We spent so much money on dermatology visits freezing them, burning them and they would come back worse! After relying on crutches for weeks after the last visit I decided to do something myself. I used Neem Cure by Just Neem after I used the Amope Pedi electric foot file, and covered with band aids every night for about a week and a half. They completely went away and haven't returned !!! Its been years since I treated his feet! Why suffer? It makes me upset that dermatologists do not know about these easy remedies. Plantar warts are debilitating and so painful!
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you for this!! I had those in high school cheerleading and they cut and froze it and it HURT😮
@@maturemakeupmasterclass Your welcome! It really works!!! I'm sorry you had to go through it too. Its so so painful.
Was the neem an oil? I'm going to try it! I had some in my early 20s they froze off and then still had to cut out....and now I have a small one that won't go away and I don't want the treatment.
Michelle, keep doing what you do! It is so refreshing to see budget-conscious tips like the ones you present. And thank you for being authentic and transparent about your own experiences! It resonates with a community that loves and appreciates you!!!🥰
Thank you for the information on both skin problems!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Michelle.. I’ve got one under my eye I hate I’ve tried to mash it but I have lancets .. I’m a diabetic I have insurance but I can’t get to the dermatologist.. we’re in a small rural area.. I get my hair done once a year now it’s gotten to expensive and listen my dad was a barber stylist for 40 years and I support all the beauty services.. but I can’t pay 150$ 200$ or more for some foils and cut… they don’t even style your hair these days that’s extra & I understand it’s fine.. but my dad did men’s & women’s hair for years and he never would have sent any woman out of his shop without styling their hair…
Thanks so much-my 1st time here, I really appreciate your down-home advice!❤
Love this! So many people don’t have the $ to fix this. Thank you!
I was broke as a joke for so long!!! Happy to help!!!
I just love your generosity of spirit. Beauty should be available to all…not just the wealthy!
Amen❤
Hi, first time viewer here. I live in Canada and a single mom of 2. I really appreciate this video. 🥰
I've been doing this procedure for many years. I sometimes put a hydrocollidal (lip blister) patch on afterward. I have also applied salicylic acid on the Milian for a few days or so before using a lancet, to encourage things to come to the surface.
Love the patch idea❤
I love your conviction. I have "popped" out milia of my own as well. Going to a doctor for something so simple is not a mindset that I hold. As far as the skin tags, I was covered with them during all my pregnancies, my husband would just pluck them off with tweezers. Ultimately, they all disappeared once the baby came. Thank you for sharing all the information that you do.
Thanks for sharing!!
iodine with fresh garlic juice does the work too for skin tags and warts...but your way is easyer, I' ll try it for sure. Thanks
Retinol eye products help with milia too. Of course takes longer, but helps bring them to surface so easier to remove.
Great point! It does help with consistent use❤
THANKU FOR INTEGITY AND KEEPING IT REAL
My son has had his skin tag on his neck for ever super excited to try this. I will comment and let everyone know how it worked.
Thank You Michelle, you have helped me immensely and don't listen to negative people!
You are so welcome!
Michele, I'm new to your Chanel and I appreciate your realness! Thank you for your down to earth style. We appreciate you!!
You are so welcome
Ive gotten rid of a couple of milia myself in a similar way but was so sterile about it. Just clean about it though and I was so pleased to get rid of them. They never came back.
After I poked my skin over my milia, I use a comedone extractor to get the little ball out. Gently. I’ve never made a scar and I remove at least one every month.
Smart! Great tool and great advice ❤
If you are getting that many milia, consider backing off on your moisturizer, if you are using one.
What is a comedone extractor? I need one! Where can I get one?
@ lol. It’s a little stick thingy with a loop at the end to remove blackheads. You put your blackhead or milia in the middle of the hole and gently push it down. It applies pressure evenly around your milia or blackhead and pops it out. Prevents scarring and is more gentle on your skin. Google it! You should find some at the pharmacy or even Amazon.
I just found you today and I absolutely adore you. I feel like I'm listening to a trusted friend. Thanks and I just subscribed. ♡
That is my hope that it feels like we are sitting together in person ❤
Thank you for the amazing information. I have experienced milia, it is annoying, I did not even think of going to a doctor, I will use your treatment the next time I experience milia. I had skin tags and did not even realize until later, mine disappeared when I was using intermittent fasting for weight loss, I also drank 2 tablespoons of Braggs with water everyday. I love Braggs too. You skin looks amazing!
I just happened to have lancets at home and tried it. Happy to say my milla is gone. Took me two pokes and a bit of squeezing but milla no more 😊
Did it hurt?
I remove milia the exact same way! I stopped getting skin tags after menopause but I will definitely try your method if one ever pops up again. Thanks!!
What a sweetheart. Not everyone makes videos for people without means. ❤
Your “Aquaphor as a primer” video led me to this. I’m so glad that you’re sharing your knowledge for people who can’t afford these services. Believe me, if I had the money, I’d much rather be pampered than do it myself. Thank you so much for not gate-keeping your beauty tips ❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for really caring about others!! God Bless you.
You are so welcome
Just ran across your page and saw that you have a remedy for skin tags! It was so wonderful to know that apple cider vinegar can get rid of my skin tag that I hated for so long! Thank you so much for this wonderful commentary and I will be watching and subscribing😀❤️
Thank you so much for sharing these things with those of us that do not have the extra money to go to the professionals. You really understand.❤
Thank you for your video ❤❤ I have been suffering with milia for some years now . Being able to do this from home is amazing 👏 ❤
Michelle, you are spot on telling it like it is. We've all been there living paycheck to paycheck and it is rough. I have insurance and I think the last time I had skin tags zapped that I ended up having to pay out of pocket due to not being covered. Unreal! The Milia scares me because of my vision but I'll look into the skin tag at home treatment if needed. I have only had 1 Milia and it went away on its own (thank God). Thank you for keeping it real! Hugs, KC
Great tips! Another great tip for skin tags is exactly like you described it but replace the smelly vinagre with castor oil! It's really working and you won't smell bad the next day❤
ACV also gets rid of WARTS the same way that you mentioned! It works and my son's BIG WART on his knee disappeared after about 4 days (it turned black first) then dropped off. NEVER EVER, EVER PICK AT IT ... NEVER!!! He's now 37 and he got rid of his wart in about Grade 8 ... and it's never grown back. 🙏💪👌
You go girl! I was a singe parent and made very little money and it was really rough! Good for you for pushing back to those who may not understand! Good for YOU!
⚡️First time seeing your channel. Thank you so much for sharing this info. You seem like a kind, genuine lady, not to mention beautiful! All the best ✨🙏🏽💖😎
Castor oil also zaps skin tags - a drop on it each night for about a week will do the trick!
I think you are absolutely so wonderful kind and true and wonderful teacher love you millions love you millions Maria from Cyprus
Thanks Maria! Enjoy your beautiful weekend ❤
I wish I could give this video a million likes! I'm on a disability pension after medical mistakes caused a lot of health issues and handicaps. I've suffered from milia for ages, and it is never, ever one or two. Both my cheeks, under my eyes, the edge of my lips, and even my nose can be full of them! And I currently have them on most of those places. I honestly have no idea why I keep getting them, as I have excellent skincare and don't put weird things on my face.
I've managed to remove the one on the lip with a needle you use to pin clothing. Sterilised it in alcohol. That wàs painful, btw, but it was a big and deep sucker in a place with a gazillion nerve endings.
I wish I could do my entire face, but I just don't dare do the ones around my eyes (here you can't buy diabetic needles otc. I have needles of my own for B12 injections, but those are most likely too thick), especially since I don't have the right equipment. Plus, some are in really hard places, and I suffer from 2 conditions that don't make my hands the steadiest or strongest, nor can I keep them upright towards my face for a relatively long time. I fear I hàve to have it done professionally now. It's getting worse, too.
I spoke to an aesthetician just for info, and she told me that she hadn't seen it this bad in years (I told her I hadn't been able to afford treatment so it kept getting worse). Because it's now so bad, with many really deep as well, she said it would take 2 sittings 😢. She has also advised me to get a numbing cream from my family doctor. On that, I do disagree with Michelle. In some places, removing milia doesn’t hurt, especially when you're quick to handle them. But that isn't always the case. Sensitive places or very deep milia can be quite painful at times. At least, that's my experience. Apparently, my new aesthetician's as well.
Anyway...I have no idea how I'm going to afford this. I got a bit of extra back on my tax return, but that was supposed to go towards a second-hand couch, as the entire top layer of the fabric is gone AND you can put your hand in the cushions and touch the bottom 😒🥴 - as has been the case for a few years already. I'll figure it out! I always do!
I seem to only get them if I eat cheap bread and ramen type noodles (cheap wheat!). I eliminated both from my diet and have zero Milia. My skincare is very basic. Soap, water, witch hazel, PABA free oil of Olay (store brand). Good luck!
@@minecraftbuilder3110 I have suuuuuper difficult skin. If I would use what you do I probably would have open wounds on my face, brrr.
Anyway, I don't eat wheat 99% of the time. Only during a gastritis situation will I enter a half or quarter loaf per week as this tends to calm it. But then it'll be special bread from a bakery.
I think it's part of my extremely dry & sensitive skin situation. I didn't have them for a couple of years, ever since I introduced a certain skincare regime. Unfortunately one of the products got discontinued, I had to look for a replacement... got severe dermatitis from one of those and at the same time my immune system had a panic attack. I couldn't use ANY acids for a year, plus I suddenly responded badly to products that had actually helped me for years. That's when those nasty milia came back with a vengeance as well. I need to use lactic acid daily and an AHA twice a month + a sh*tload of mousturising products (A hydrating essence mixed with hyaluronic acid, then a hydrating mist or ampoule*, nourishing day cream and then a Ceramide cream mist throughout thev entire day to keep up the hydration. * Ampoules in autumn and winter, the mists when warm. The day cream is also a tad thicker in winter) to keep my face decent.
And then I'm not even speaking about the rest of my body 🤦♀️.
Anyway, long story short: I think those milia were holding up somewhere and as soon as their general saw that the enemy (acid+ certain moisturiser) had to retreat he formed a plan of attack. And it worked. They conquered a lot of facial real estate and have really dug themselves in...
Oh well. Be very lucky you seem to have such easy skin if all you need is some Olay (makes my skin burn) and soap. 😉
Amen!!! You are so right!!! I'm one who can't afford all those fancy!! And I have removed my own milia as well!! And i am loving more E.L.F due to your awesome videos! Bless your heart for all that you do!! I wish I could move out of California!!
Thank you for your honesty. I too, live paycheck to paycheck and it can be frustrating watching some influencers trying to promote high priced skin and beauty products. So glad to have found you. Thank you for helping people like me. God bless you. ❤
You can also use white vinegar for this which is a kot cheaper. The mother is actually not necessary.
