Goggle face

After I swim I get this haggardly awful look that doesn't go away until about noon. It's the goggles. They leave these huge impressions around my eyes and on my forehead. It's horrible. I look about 20 years older. My skin just isn't as elastic as it used to be..... alas age is creeping up. However I am happy to report I have found a solution!



I borrowed my friends Swedish goggles today. They are that kind that are just tiny plastic cups that cover only your eye. No foam. So suction stuff. I was dubious. Very dubious. But they work. No leaking. A bit of fog but that can be fixed with anti-fog spray. And the best part. They only cost $2.59 at SwimOutlet... okay so I'd have to shell out another $5 for a good strap but hey that is a lot cheaper than my $20 TYRs that I replace every 5 months.

i'll have to check them out. i have a huge problem with goggle eyes. After a morning swim I look like I haven't slept in a week.

Ange said...

I get goggle eyes too...and it's worse cause usually I AM low on sleep TOO!! not good.
I have never been able to use these though....they hurt me.
Glad theywork for you!! Jen H. recommended some a year ago (women's vanquishers) and I LOVE them!! No leaking but still major goggle eyes. Long enough answer...sorry:)

Those are the kind I have now I think and I will still use them for meets. The Swedish one's occassionally leak, probably cause I don't know them well enough yet. We will become friends I think. My eyes look much better today and that is even with out make-up since I forgot it!

I love my Swedes. I had the same problem with the goggle eyes, I would look awful until noon. i started using the Swedes a few years ago and the problem is solved. I don't race in them though since I think getting kicked in the face would hurt a lot with these and I really don't care if I have goggle marks after a race. Now I need to figure out how to get rid of the stupid line on my forehead from the cap!

I have been a swimmer for over 20 years and want to warn younger female swimmers to pay heed to the goggle marks. I now have big circles/bags/swelling/discoloration under my eyes and chronic puffy pads on top of my cheeks that I attribute to long term use of suction type goggles. I was always very young looking and lately I look very old and I hate to say, sometimes haggard.

I used Aquasphere Kaiman goggles (junior) this past summer which were great, as they did not leak, but left marks and in my opinion, greatly accelerated my current condition.

Recommend using a mask if you are going to swim for the long haul. Yes, some of my problem may be genetic but suction type goggles definitely did NOT help.

Swimming for ME said...

Yikes your experience scares me! Not sure I could use a mask, it would feel so big. I hope, at least, that the Swedes help somewhat. Hopefully I am starting early enough.

I swim 6 days a week for at least 2 hours every time, now I have what seems like permanent goggle marks and dark circles....i think I will try the swedes you were talking about

Unknown said...

I also have goggle eyes and look for the best solution. Anyone know how to get rid of them and what goggle in the market would work for this. They should sell non-invasive type of goggles.

I rarely leave comments, but I browsed a few responses on "Goggle face".
I do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind.
Is it simply me or do some of these responses come across like they are coming from brain dead individuals?

:-P And, if you are posting on additional online sites, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post.
Could you list of every one of your shared pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
