We all have a clean face and we wash our face every now and then. But what we have no idea about is that our face has a lot of parasites. These parasites live on your skin and live off your skin and skin oil. These parasites are called face mites or skin mites. They can also be called Demodex mites. These mites that live on our skin are not visible to the naked eye and do not cause any trouble at all. A healthy balance of mites on your skin helps keep your skin clear and healthy, but when there is an imbalance in the number of mites it can lead to skin problems. There is no way to completely rid your skin of the mites but an imbalance can lead to skin conditions or infections. Home remedies are the best way to improve your skin and find the balance it needs but more importantly, you need to consult a doctor. See a dermatologist and consult him before you start any home remedies to treat skin mites. You cannot treat anything without getting diagnosed.
