How do you determine what is the correct mask size for your face?

Put the mask on your face breath in through your nose and the mask should stick to your face. Also look here for mask advice.

Fit & Comfort Without Strap, Place Mask On Your Face And Breathe In Through Your Nose. If Air Gets In, So Will Water. Make Sure No Hair Is Under Skirt Of Mask.

The joker in the pack is a moustache or Andy Rooney eyebrows: no mask is going to seal 100% over that. The only fix I've come upon is silicone gel in the facial hair, but that was more trouble that it's worth, at least for me.

I've gotten in the habit of breathing out some through my nose, kind of like a mini-purge. I don't know how guys with thick moustaches do it, and I try not to look at women with the same problem. At least above the neck.

Yeah.. I've just gotten to the point where I shave mine off when I dive. I'm Air Force Reserve, so I have to shave when I have drill weekends anyway, but now, instead of shaving only once a month, I also do it when I'm diving.

I put the mask on in front of a mirror and look at the skirt inside the mask. I make sure it is sealed around my face. Also if you have laugh lines and smile you may break the seal. I have a friend with this problem and I also say don't smile just before I jump in. Guaranteed to promote a nasty look every time we are underwater.
