Demodex mites
Yes… those tiny roommates living rent-free on your face.
•They are found in your hair follicles or in skin oil glands
• They come out at night
• They nibble on dead skin
• Too many = redness, bumps, irritation
• They multiply when you’re stressed or if skin is too oily
•They multiply in humidity or if you’re too stressed
•worse in rosacea patients
How to Manage the Mites
• Tea tree–based cleansers
• Don’t overwash
• Keep your lashes clean
•Avoid heavy oily skincare
•Change pillowcases regularly
• See your aesthetician if things get real… because sometimes you need backup ❤️
