Gentle exfoliation with mild products can help remove the excess buildup. The specialists advise using <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AHAs (glycolic\/lactic acid) or BHAs (salicylic acid)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1-2 times weekly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Lightweight_%E2%80%93_Non-comedogenic_skincare_products\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lightweight &#8211; Non-comedogenic skincare products<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy skincare products can also clog pores and can lead to the formation of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">milia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
