For all the Glasses wearers...
Someone please help me. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif I just started wearing glasses about 2 years ago. Didn't want to in the first place, but anyway. Now, I am getting little marks on my nose from my glasses. Needless to say, I am most unhappy about this whole ordeal. I don't appreciate it in the least. What can I do to get rid of these marks and to prevent them from returning? Will cocoa butter work? Has anyone heard anything about, um, certain male bodily fluids helping clear up the skin? (Not saying I would try it, that was just someone's suggestion, lol)
Please help me, it's really bothering, me, lol. |
You're glasses are not fitting properly. You would want to get them adjusted.
I guess cocoa butter would do the trick. I don't really have any suggestions. |

I have been wearing glasses for over a year. I also got those marks on my nose. The spots were red all the time and NOTHING I did got rid of them until I got contacts. They cleared up about 2weeks after I stopped wearing my glasses. |
Try cocoa butter but also go to the place you got your glasses from and get them adjusted. You may need a new pair of nose pads but not glasses.

I would probably try cocoa butter and an alpha hydroxy lotion (if you skin can take it) to speed up the turn over of the skin on your nose and encourage the marks to fade (but I would do my whole face so as not to cause my nose to shed too much faster than the rest of my face) |
Man, I love yall. All of yall. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try the cocoa butter and the alpha hydroxy lotion (maybe, what is this actually for?). I'm also gonna go get my glasses adjusted.
Thanks again!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |
one more solution...
i've been wearing glasses all my life and as long as you continue to wear glasses those little marks will forever be there and never go away. the marks are from heavy glasses and sweat. you have to constantly clean that little nose guard because it is plastic and sinks dirt and oil into your nose. if you don't have to wear glasses all the time don't because then your vision will depend on them. also switch up between contacts and glasses. i hope this helps...cocoa butter helps but as long as you keep putting your glasses back in the same spot it will never go away. |

I used to say that SAME ya ya. I'm nearsighted as well. Girl, you don't even think about it when you put the lenses in. YOu JUST DO IT! All you have to do is make like a regimen. When you brush your teeth, rinse your hands, take the lenses out of the dispenser/solution, put them in, rinse your hands AGAIN, do your hair, make-up or whatever. When you return from "out", go to the bathroom, rinse your hands, put the solution in the dispenser, take out the lenses, wash your hands....AND PRESTO, you're through. Simple as that! You don't feel 'em, unless they are OLD, something foreign is on them, have torn, or are dry. Step into the new millenniumnum...lol. Get those Contacts. You'll be glad you did! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |

And I know peeps are like, dang, is it that deep? YES! I used to pride myself on my beautiful complexion, and these dang-on marks are jacking it UP! LOL! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif Oh, Regulator, one mo' thang, no you DIDN'T tell me to step into the new millennium!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif LMAO!!! Forget you, soror, FORGET YOU!! LMAO! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |

I would echo all of the same suggestions to you as well. It is true the marks never go away as long as you wear glasses! Uugghh!
I would suggest strongly that you get contacts. I too was scared, so much so that I did not try contacts until 2 years ago, I was 28 then. I had been wearing glasses since I was in 7th grade, so my fear ran deep. I will say that putting those things in took some getting used to. But I got the hang of it in no time. I made sure I got disposables becuz I am truly lazy when it comes to that kind of stuff. After a few weeks, I would get rid of them and pop in new ones. Good luck! |
Don't be distressed Ideal08,
I have been wearing glasses all my life too and have also struggled with the nose marks. I suggest that you change your nose pads every couple of months, because like someone said previously they do trap dirt, oil and makeup. Also try the small round nose pads as opposed to the oval or pear shaped ones that glasses normally come with. They tend not to make as big of a mark as the other ones. And in addition to cocoa butter, pure vitamin E oil works wonders on all blemishes and skin discolorations, I swear by it http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif. Not wearing your glasses all the time is really a good idea. Not only because it helps with the marks that are made but your eyes aren't too dependent on them as well. Hope my little tid bit helped http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif |
