Abstract
The product improves nasal passage air flow. The product may be a strip that comprises a flexible resilient material, with at least a portion of the bottom surface comprising an adhesive surface on each end. The strip may serve to dilate a user's nasal passage when the first end of the strip is secured using the first adhesive bottom surface to be proximate to an alar facial groove of the user's nose, with the second end of the strip being puled up at a slight angle and laterally to achieve desired nasal passage expansion and thereafter being secured to the user's face. The size of the strip may be larger for additional benefits and have anti-glare and/or anti-reflective features.
