What should I use to wash my face if I have mites on it?
To remove mites from the face, you can use facial cleansers with mite-removing effects, or sulfur soaps and aged vinegar. Mites are generally related to the proliferation of facial bacteria and excessive dust, so it is important to master the correct way of face washing. Wash your face once in the morning and once in the evening. If the weather is windy and dusty, wash your face immediately after returning home. In addition, pay attention to cleaning in daily life, and regularly wash and air out clothes and beddings.
1. Begin mite removal from face cleansing. First, wet your face with warm water and use a facial cleanser with mite-removing effects (avoid squeezing with your hands). Then, use your fingertips to gently draw circles from bottom to top, stimulating the skin to remove impurities and excess oil from the surface. After rinsing with warm water, gently pat your face with a soft towel to absorb excess water. Wash your face twice a day, and if it's a windy and dusty day, wash your face immediately after returning home to prevent dust from penetrating into your pores.
2. Regularly wash and air out clothes and beddings. Mites are almost everywhere except in the sky, and they particularly like to settle on cotton and linen fabrics. Therefore, it is important to regularly clean and dust off your clothes and wash your beddings with hot water of about 50°C every two weeks. Also, simplify the arrangement of your bedroom to facilitate dust removal. Avoid laying carpets indoors and placing rugs and other items that can easily accumulate dust in your home. Maintain indoor ventilation. Mites prefer damp, high-temperature environments with cotton and linen fabrics and dust. An environment with a temperature of 20-25°C and relative humidity of 65%-80% is ideal for the development and reproduction of dust mites. Therefore, keeping the area dry and well-ventilated is the best way to eliminate them, especially when using air conditioners, pay more attention to indoor ventilation and air exchange.
3. Do not stockpile or store too much food. Mites also prefer food items such as biscuits and milk powder, which are breeding grounds for powdery mites. Foods with high sugar content, such as white sugar, malt sugar, and syrup, are favorites of sweet-eating mites. If they accidentally enter your body, they can become a hidden danger for illness. Therefore, do not store too much food at home for too long, and after taking medications containing syrup ingredients such as sugar, sugar syrup, and syrup, make sure to tighten the bottle cap.
4. A balanced diet can also reduce mite growth. In addition to using mite-removing products, pay attention to your daily diet as well. Eating too much fatty or oily food can increase sebum production and exacerbate mite growth. Foods with sugar, spicy foods, and stimulating foods such as chocolate, coffee, cigarettes, and alcohol are all unfavorable for treating mites. Therefore, for staple foods, eat more coarse grains such as brown rice and corn; for side dishes, choose more vegetables, fruits, bean products, and seafood such as seaweed and kelp. Cook with a light touch.
5. Keep away from pets and flower fertilizer. Having some plants in the house is a good way of life, but it is best not to use flower fertilizer as it contains many mites and fungi. If you must use it, apply it to the roots of the plants, which not only provides nutrients for the plants but also reduces the growth rate of mites. Additionally, pets can also become habitats for mites, so families with pets should regularly bathe and disinfect their pets.
