There's a phrase "to save face" (see meaning 53).

What kind of thing did the person do? There are more specific expressions, depending on what you mean.

Edit: the opposite of this expression is "to lose face" (see meaning 49 in the above link).

People usually try to avoid embarrassment.
"It was a terrible haircut and he wore a hat all day to avoid embarrassment".
"He realised he'd been rude and apologized immediately to avoid any further embarrassment".
"He said he'd been mugged, to avoid the embarrassment of admitting he'd lost the money at the races".
