I know you should try on masks before you purchase them, but the problem I'm faced with is I don't have a shop around where I could go try something on. So I rely a lot on measurements, etc. when buying dive gear in general.

So that brings us to masks. Does anyone have any good tips or things they've found which work well when selecting a new mask online? I do have a smaller face, so I don't want to get something which will look gigantic and/or not fit properly.

Oddly enough, a snorkeling mask I had when I first started out has lasted me 33 dives, but I can tell it's starting to become time to change up. The mask still works, but would like to get into something different.
