Eyelash mites are tiny mites, less than 0.4mm long, which live in the pores and hair follicles on your face, nose, chin, forehead and in the follicles of your eyelashes. Their scientific name is Demodex folliculorum. They are worm like creatures and they feed face down in the hair follicle. They feed on oil secretions and dead skin cells. People with oilier skin and those who wear a lot of make-up have more than those with dryer skin and those who wear less make-up.
