What are the ways to remove mites from the face?
If mites parasitize on the face, they can cause mild skin roughness, itchiness, and aging, or severe skin bumps, pustules, and acne. Therefore, to maintain beauty, it is essential to remove facial mites. Today, I will introduce several methods to remove facial mites.
Cleansing Face with Warm Water
To eliminate facial mites, thorough facial cleansing and disrupting their parasitic environment are crucial. Since mites are afraid of high temperatures, wash your face with water at 45 degrees Celsius. Additionally, adding a facial cleanser containing sulfur to the water or using sulfur soap can effectively kill mites. Note that sulfur soap is alkaline, so sensitive skin should use it with caution.
Lily Mite-Removing Mask
Method: Grind 100 grams of lily bulbs and 100 grams of raw rhubarb into a powder and store it in a sealed bottle for later use. Each time, take an appropriate amount and mix it with honey to form a paste before use. Apply the paste to the affected area with a sterile cotton ball. Apply it every night and wash it off in the morning. Consistency for a month can effectively remove mites.
Benefits: Calms the nerves, nourishes the skin, removes freckles, clears heat and detoxifies, cools the blood, and kills insects. The rhubarb in the formula can cool and invigorate the blood, inhibit various germs, and have a certain killing effect on mites and follicular mites. This paste is particularly effective for treating rosacea caused by mites when used externally.
Balanced Diet
Mites feed on human sebum, and oily skin is prone to mite infestation. Therefore, avoid greasy and stimulating foods to prevent the skin from producing too much oil. Instead, consume foods rich in vitamins and proteins, such as kelp, beans, and vegetables, to effectively balance skin oil.
Rice Rinse Water for Face Washing
Rice rinse water is rich in B vitamins, proteins, antioxidants, starch, and other nutrients. It can not only effectively remove oil and dirt accumulated on the face, prevent the breeding of facial mites, but also nourish the skin. Rice rinse water is slightly alkaline, with antibacterial properties.
Cleaning and Replacing Bedding
Pillowcases and quilts are items that frequently come into close contact with the facial skin for a long time. Therefore, to remove mites from the face, removing mites from bedding is necessary. It is best to wash them every two weeks and vacuum clean them daily. When vacuuming, carefully clean the folds of beds and sofas, and do not miss the tassels on the curtains in the bedroom.
Reducing Indoor Humidity
Reducing indoor humidity to below 45% relative humidity is one of the most effective ways to eliminate dust mites. A dehumidifier can also reduce indoor humidity, and the filter of the air conditioner should be cleaned or replaced in a timely manner.
Seeking Medical Attention
According to surveys, over 90% of people have different numbers of mites on their faces. If severe symptoms such as recurrent acne caused by mites or mite dermatitis occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and visit a dermatologist.
1. Local foreign body reactions, causing local inflammatory lesions. This includes obstruction of hair and sebaceous glands, stimulation of stratum corneum hyperplasia, follicular dilation, follicular malnutrition, hair loss, and other lesions. At the same time, due to the obstruction of sebum secretion, the skin lacks fat and dries out, making the epidermis rough, and the hair and sebaceous glands are physiologically obstructed first.
The parasitic reproduction, secretion, and excretion substances of mites, as well as the metabolic products and stratum corneum hyperplasia within the hair and sebaceous glands, also affect normal physiological functions.
2. Mites invading the lash follicles and sebaceous glands can cause inflammation of the eyelid margin and lash shedding.
3. The harm of mites to hair: Demodex folliculorum scrapes and eats the hair root wall of the hair root, thereby absorbing nutrients supplied to the hair root, making the root of the hair thinner, the root unstable, and hair begins to fall out. This is the cause of dandruff, head itchiness, scalp diseases, rough hair, and hair loss.
4. The harm of mites to the skin: Mites absorb nutrients in the skin, stimulate capillaries and cellular tissue, leading to skin deterioration. Skin mites accelerate the production of fine wrinkles, accelerate pigmentation such as chloasma, freckles, and dark spots, and can also cause acne, rough skin, thickened corneum, and凹凸不平 skin. Skin mites can also cause pruritus and rosacea.
5. Mites are vectors of skin infectious diseases: Mites in the skin enter and leave the skin at any time day and night. When mites crawl to the skin surface, they stick cosmetics residue, various pollutants, bacteria, and other foreign bodies on their bodies and bring them into the skin. If the skin's resistance is weak, it can cause skin inflammation.
6. Allergic reactions to mites: Dozens to thousands of mites, up to 20-40 species, are found in every gram of indoor air where we live. Test results to find the cause of adult atopic dermatitis found that more than 50% of people have a positive reaction to mites.
