Your Face GURU

Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are microscopic mites commonly found on human skin, especially around hair follicles, eyelashes, and oil-rich areas like the face. Many studies suggest most adults carry them, often without knowing it.
Living on your face” is a little dramatic. They’re more in follicles than marching around like a mite metropolis. Tiny subterranean tenants. 😄
Your skin is an ecosystem. You are, in a very real sense, a walking nature preserve. A national park with pores. They tend to be more common with age. Babies often have few or none, and adults accumulate them over time.
