The feeling of your mask sucking to your face is probably because you are leaving the air-passage between your nose and your mouth open (im not a doctor so I dont know the scientific name for this ). You need to try to learn to keep this closed untill you need to equalize your mask (let air into your mask through your nose) during dives.

The only way I can think of demonstrating the passage im talking about is... well... kind of like the area you feel when you are hocking a loogie
