‘Nerdwax’ Keeps Your Glasses From Sliding Down Your Nose

It’s a struggle most glasses-wearers can relate to: Frames can’t seem to stay put for more than 30 seconds without sliding down your nose, requiring you to channel your inner geek with a one-fingered readjustment. If this sounds like you, a helpful product may be the answer to your woes.

Nerdwax, featured on the reality show Shark Tank, is designed to keep your glasses secured to your face. A swipe of the ChapStick-like tube over your nose or glasses pads reduces the slip-factor and can keep your specs in place for hours at a time.

According to the Nerdwax website, the wax is cosmetic-grade, so it'll be gentle on your skin as it does the job. One tube will last six to eight months and can be purchased online for $10.99. Now you can stop worrying about pushing up your glasses and focus on looking fabulous.
