Question Mask leaks ,smile lines ?
I have a problem with my TUSA Splendive 2 mask leaking via the smile lines on my face .Visited my LDS yesterday tried some masks but with the same result .LDS suggested trying Vaseline as people with moustaches use it to help get a seal ,so duelly tried it in the pool last night with no joy .
So does anybody have any other (sensible ) ideas before I end up buying a full face mask & end up like Finless !

When you put your mask on make a silly face that flattens out the smile lines. You will have to look like an idiot in front of the mirror, but if you practice enough you should find a way that works!

Lots of anti wrinkle product and a kick in the nuts every time you think about smiling should cure the problem.

I can recommend getting a mantabite, it tends to push your top lip out and helps to seal against the bottom of the mask, great bit of kit
