Christmas 2004 I got a pair of those Jackie O Chanel Sunglasses and I still love them. However, I have noticed that in the past 6 months, I have had more sagging next to my nostrils and right below wear the sunglasses sit. I mean when I have them on, I can see it push down there. If I wear a dif pair that is smaller, and sits right on the bridge of my nose, that does not bother it.
I know it is a really weird observation but I bet it is contributing if not causing the sagging there and that stinks so I'm not so fond of these glasses anymore,lol. |

| I never thought of that! Guess I'll have to be careful with those big sunglasses from now on. |

| Yuck, that's so true, it makes you wonder about all the little things we're doing unconsciously that are sabotaging our beauty! |

I've noticed that my friend also has big red rings on her cheeks every time she removes her super sized sunglasses after wearing them for a long while.
I have my favorite big ones from Tommy Hilfiger ( very cheap price but so chic style) that never leave any mark on my cheeks or my nose. I spent hours at The Bay trying hundreds of them and just simply by luck picking these one. They are really here for me to keep for the whole Summer. |

Hi, I recently purchased some antiglare armanis (new technology)... They're really cool, I mean, they are soo light! They are made of this plastic thingie  Maybe next time you get shades, make "weight" a factor :)Thanks for sharing, it really made us aware, and made me glad I bought "light-weight" shades |

It was something like this: (I love big shades, so I can avoid squinting)
What's cool about it is that in the optical shop they showed a picture (sort of like a 3D pic) then they let you wear the shades then you can see some figured shadows that you cannot see without the shades. They said that was the antiglare. I have to admit, these shades are very cool to the eyes, I mean it's relaxing to wear! no stress! And to think I wear them with my contact lenses

| Thanks joziegrozy! The sunglasses look good too! Is it very curvy? I can't wear the very curvy ones because they would touch my cheeks. |

| I bought a pair of prada aviators and found that it indents the skin on my cheeks, so when i take them off my face looks like i have been wearing goggles. I don't think the glasses are too tight but it's just the way they sit on my face i guess. Also, i have been breaking out in places where the rims touch my cheeks and nose. Anyone having problems with that as well? |

I don't think I'm breaking out where my glasses touch my face ... although I can see how that could happen. Mine get a build up of makeup and oils on them that I have to clean. I really like the look of bigger glasses, but I can't wear them myself .... I can't stand the feeling of having them sitting so far down my cheeks. It just feels weird to me. I have some Prada sunglasses I bought last year that I LOVE ... I think they make my face look a little thinner. Here's a pic if anyone is interested.

Anyway, I'm jealous of all of you who can wear the big shades ... I think they're so cool!  |

If over-sized sunglasses DO cause sagging, can you imagine what Paris and Nicole will look like in a couple of years?!  |

When I was in my twenties I worked in a very hot environment (lots of sweating), and I had to wear heavy shades with glass lenses for eye protection. Over time it actually thinned my skin where the glasses rested.
It isn't a visible problem, but to this day the area gets painfully irritated when I wear sunglasses out in the summer heat. I can only wear lightweight sunglasses now, which helps delay the irritation.

| Yes, I bet the sagging problem has more to do with wearing heavy glasses all day rather than the style of them. I guess it's a tradeoff since big, dark glasses are good for further protecting your eyes against the sun and UV radiation. But a lightweight pair shouldn't pose a problem. |
