How to deal with facial mites and acne

Mite acne is a type of acne caused by mites. Mites are human parasites and can cause serious damage to the skin, often leading to skin allergies. When mites appear, they should be eliminated in time. Attention should be paid to indoor cleanliness, especially bedding. Mite elimination activities should be carried out regularly on clothes that are worn daily. In addition, skin cleaning is also very important.

1. Scientific cleansing

Washing your face scientifically is an important step. Washing your face is not simply about rinsing it with tap water. Instead, you should follow a scientific method: first wet your face with warm water and use a mild facial cleanser with good cleansing ability; then use your fingertips to lightly draw circles from bottom to top to stimulate the skin to remove impurities and excess oil on the surface; after rinsing with warm water, gently pat your face with a soft towel to absorb excess water. Wash twice a day, morning and evening. If it is windy and sandy, wash it immediately after returning home to prevent dust from penetrating into the pores.

2. Exfoliate regularly

If the stratum corneum is too thick and accumulates on the surface of the skin, it can easily cause pores to become clogged and allow mites to breed. Cleaning the dead skin once a week can reduce the blockage of pores and help remove mites. In addition, you should also pay attention to hydrating your skin, because this can provide the skin's stratum corneum cells with the necessary moisture. While moisturizing the skin, it can also improve microcirculation, resist external stimulation, control the occurrence of acne, and enhance skin moisture.

3. Keep indoor ventilation

Dust mites like humid, high temperature, cotton and linen fabrics, and dusty environments. An environment with a temperature of 20-25℃ and a relative humidity of 65%-80% is extremely suitable for the development and reproduction of dust mites. Therefore, dryness and frequent ventilation are the best weapons to eliminate them. Especially when using air conditioning, you should pay more attention to indoor ventilation and air exchange.

4. Healthy diet

Because mites feed on human sebum, oily skin can easily breed mites, so you should eat less greasy and irritating foods to avoid excessive oil production on your skin. You should eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein, such as kelp, beans, and vegetables, to effectively balance skin oil.

5. Use skin care products with natural ingredients

When the face secretes too much oil and the metabolic products of mites increase, causing a mild inflammatory reaction on the skin, you may consider using cleaning and maintenance products with mite removal function. However, not all mite-removing skin care products can remove all mites. When choosing, in addition to the brand, it is important to pay attention to the ingredients. Natural ingredients extracted from pure plants will not cause skin allergies or discomfort and can provide long-term protection.
