Somebody suggested benzoin tincture (a liquid used in the mouth to cover sores). It is tacky and they had good success in this helping to keep a seal. I tried it but still had leaks with the Ultra Mirage FF and I didn't like the smell, but it might work for you. The Utra Mirage FF also kept the bridge of my nose very tender and at times almost break the skin down. Not good for me.
The Aura nasal pillow interface is great for me--very comfy and I have no problems with losing the seal. This is the only mask of about 5 that I can say that about. I do have to use a chin strap or tape over the mouth. But it is so worth it for me.

Just found a link you can try on body adhesives.
