By the time you are 60, you have an 80%-100% chance of having demodex living in your eyebrows or eyelashes.How do you get rid of eyebrow bugs?
Treatment
- Washing the face twice daily with a gentle cleanser. Scrubbing the eyelids with baby shampoo may also help.
- Avoiding oil-based cleansers and greasy makeup, which can provide further “food” for the mites.
- Exfoliating once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells.
