Were your previous masks frameless? Those might work better. Well, that has been my experience.

Perhaps a new mask which will have softer silicone that hardens and yellows over time in salt water?

Last couple of years both my masks started leaking at the same time after years of not doing so. Someone suggested that maybe it's because I lost weight. Could be the wrinkes like with you, since I'm 69. So far I haven't bought another new mask. Seems I can do OK with it by making sure it's very tight on my face and giving a GOOD inhale suck before the dive. Also, if I get a little water in there I leave it, since it seems to really leak after a clear it. If my dives were deeper than my usual 30 feet I'd get a new one and not mess with it.

I have loved my TUSA VISIO TRI-EX MASK. It has a great seal. I got it from Divers Direct years ago but I don't think they offer it anymore. You may want to go through Tusa. Search Google for "M-31-CBL Tusa"

You will need to go mask shopping. I like Atomic Frameless and Scubapro Frameless, they have a very universal fit but for you, based on your Avatar, go to a stocking Mares dealer and try some of them on. Mares seem to have a particularly wide and soft seal. I bet one like the X-Vision Liquid Skin might work. Or a Scubapro Frameless Gorilla.
