How can I reduce my risk of demodicosis?

You can’t wash or scrub all Demodex mites away. But you may be able to help prevent infestation by keeping your skin clean. This removes the extra oil and dead skin cells the mites eat. For example:

• Avoid thick, greasy skin products that can clog pores with skin cells and oil.
• Gently exfoliate your skin once a week.
• Wash your face twice a day.
