Don't just wear a mask, wear a scarf/hat. Cover your neck and arms.
It might be a little hotter under there, but its better than skin cancer. Drink extra water.

Personally I've found a shemagh works really well.

How to wear a shemagh - Airsoft Canada

You can buy or make one, they're just 46x46 inch pieces of cloth.
Yay fellow airsofter! But seriously, drink water, just don't over do it. I personally experienced a team member who sucked on a camel pack all day during a mid-july airsoft game, overhydrated and upchucked all over my shoes. Not fun. Especially since we were 40 min from civilization.
