First try loosening the straps just a bit... if your mask is too tight you're not getting ideal therapy (cusion can't inflate properly and new tiny leaks are created). But the best thing is Pad-a-Cheek.com - a member created various 'liners' that are worn under the mask to help leaks, and padding to wear on the straps... look at the site (I'm not involved at all, but they're supposed to be excellent and lots of members use them). It's not a good idea to use lotion on your face (except maybe in the a.m.) because the silicone in your mask can deteriorate and the mask slide around on your face when asleep.

Go for home remedy it will surely work.......You should try Papaya that removes dead skin cells and excess lipids from the surface of the skin, leaving it soft and smooth.
