Amon lying about his face would have a two-fold benefit. One, he would win the sympathy of other non-benders who could empathize with his pain, thus making them much more inclined to listen and agree with him and his ideas; and two, when he does take his mask off (to go undercover, or go get groceries), people would be expecting to look for a man with horrible burn scars, not a man with no scars at all, thus making it even easier for him to simply remove his mask and walk around freely in public should he need to.
