It took 3 seasons to reveal Ozai's entire face, need I remind all you TRUE Avatar fans of those moments in ATLA where episode after episode we were left clawing our televisions in a frenzy after being only allowed a glimpse at a patch of skin on his forehead or perhaps his chin? Or, if we were REALLY lucky, we might have been teased enough to see a nose! I imagine we won't be seeing whats under Amon's mask anytime soon, in fact, the creators may never reveal his true face for all we know, unless theres some signifcance to doing so... I mean, they've already dabbled in angry jerks with facial scars before.

The mask is a symbol, it's meant to project an menacing appearance that makes Amon seem somewhat unhuman, rather than a pissed off, albeit exceptionally agile, nonbender. Amongst other things, the anti-bender movement is out to prove that benders are only human, and can be brought to their knees and outmatched, especially with the advances in technology in the Avatar world. Amon's face is his mask, and his mask is the face of the movement.
