You can develop facial dermatosis

Unfortunately, many people who wear a face mask for at least eight hours a day because of their job are more likely to develop facial dermatosis than those who wear a face mask only in the supermarket or on public transportation. Medical PPE can “induce occlusion and consequently a damp and warm microenvironment” and it can lead to various skin problems. 

“Treating these dermatoses [also] may prevent COVID-19 contagion, because facial skin damage increases itchy sensation, inducing persons to scratch the face and to remove [the] mask, with a reduction of PPE effectiveness,” reported a study published in Clinical and Experimental Dermatology. “Breakouts can occur from stress and also irritation to the skin,” added Dr. Saedi.

The solution to this skin problem is to keep your face hydrated and avoid additional irritants or make up.
