During the ascent do you let the air in your mask leak out or re-inhale it?

Title basically.
I have always re-inhaled the mask air as it expands during ascent to keep the mask snug and tight on my face. It also feels wrong to me letting it leak out (wasting bouyancy/oxygen however small the effect might be) but watching some freediving videos it looks like people often let the expanding air escape.
Is there a best practice for this or is it up to the individual? I'm not a deep diver, mostly just recreational 10-20m freediving.
