As long as you have oxygen in the air supply to breathe, you would survive a no oxygen atmosphere. For example if you made an atmosphere that replaced all of the oxygen with more carbon dioxide, argon, and helium, you could walk around in that all day long, with a scuba tank and a regulator. Your skin doesn’t need the oxygen in the atmosphere, but all the metabolic processes in your body require you to be able to breathe in oxygen.
