A Simple Approach to Maintaining Youthful Appearing Skin

Becky Hume • May 25, 2021

Maintaining Youthful Appearing Skin may not be the mystery it's made out to be. You “Mite” want to try this.

Over the years it has been very common for individuals to admit to me that they are “just too tired to wash their face at night”. So they do not remove their makeup, renew their mascara regularly, or wash their face daily. And yet the seemingly elusive question remains about how to maintain youthful appearing skin.

My reaction is always

and here is why…

Hello, my name is demodex folliculorum and I live in the pores on your skin. That is why it is important to wash your face regularly, removing makeup and the aggressive particles our skin encounters throughout the day.

The only way you can see me is with a microscope because I measure .03 to .04 mm. And like a spider, I have eight (8) legs.

I like living in hair follicles that you have on your eyelashes, cheeks, and nose. These are places where there is more fat to feed me.

I feed on your secretions and your dead skin laying up to 25 eggs in every hair follicle.

My digestion system is not able to eliminate my waste, so I accumulate them in my body until I explode and die. My remains can cause hypersensitivity reactions.

According to some studies I can cause infections on eyelids and rosacea.

I am a mite that is present on almost every adult on this planet.

Now, what do you think about washing your face to maintain youthful appearing skin? Maybe it's time to book a consultation with me!
