#MindBuzzer: You’ve Got Tiny Tenants Living Rent-Free on Your Face! And They Are Mites!

Right now, hundreds or even thousands of tiny mites are living on your face. Called Demodex, these mites eat dead skin, mate at night, and die without ever leaving your pores. Almost every adult has them—it’s totally normal.​

Who Are These Tiny Guests?

These mites are small arachnids, just 0.3 mm long, hanging out in your nose, forehead, eyelids, and lashes. They munch on skin oil and dead cells, like little cleaners. At night, they come out to mate, and females lay eggs back in your follicles.​

Their Life Happens All on You

Picked up from mom at birth, they stay quiet in kids but grow in number as adults age. They live 1-2 weeks, fully on your skin—they can’t survive anywhere else. Your face is their forever home.​

Mostly Harmless Pals

For most people, they’re no big deal and might even help by clearing junk. Overgrowth is rare but can spark rosacea or itch. Embrace your mite buddies—they’re part of the skin team!
