How to stop sunglasses from sliding down

Keys to prevent sunglasses from sliding down your nose

Our pair of sunglasses can follow us wherever we go, whatever we do, all year round.
Therefore, wearing sunglasses must provide good sun protection, but also optimum comfort.
To achieve this, it's essential to find the right solution to sunglasses that constantly slide forward on the nose when this is the case.

Opt for a sunglass frame that fits snugly

At the optician's or on an optical website, the choice of sunglasses is often motivated by aesthetic reasons.
However, it is essential that the frame is also adapted to the shape of your face so that it fits perfectly.
The pair of sunglasses must offer perfect stability so as to follow you in all your activities.
Your optician will provide you with the right size of sunglasses to suit your facial morphology.
They should fit snugly around the face, but not too tightly around the temples or nasal bridge.
Thus, a well-fitted pair of sunglasses should and will never slide forward on the nose.

Tighten your enlarged sunglasses

Whether they are made of metal or plastic, sunglasses frames can deteriorate over time.
With wear and tear, a pair of sunglasses can widen, which explains why they can slide down.
This means that sunglasses that used to fit perfectly may no longer be suitable over time.
In this case, the only solution is to tighten the frame so that it fits better again.
Depending on the case, it may be necessary to tighten the temples or just the nasal bridge.
While there are tips for carrying out this adjustment at home, it is still preferable to have it done by a professional.
Opticians have all the tools and expertise needed to tighten your pair of sunglasses as tightly as possible so that they don't slip forward.
However, in some cases, sunglasses will better be changed rather than fixed.

Prevent sweat to stop sunglasses from sliding down

One of the reasons why a pair of sunglasses can slide forward is sweat.
Excess perspiration makes the nasal area slippery, preventing the sunglasses from holding steady.
When this situation recurs, it is essential to treat this chronic excess of sweat.
Treatments and certain hygiene products can be used to limit perspiration or at least control it.
When it's a one-off case, simply take off your pair of sunglasses to dry your face and remove any excess sweat.
Next, dry the inner side of the sunglasses frame, particularly around the nasal bridge.
To avoid this kind of problem, it is advisable to remove your sunglasses before any intensive activity.
Regular cleaning of your sunglasses will also prevent them from slipping due to perspiration deposits.
