Because you're using your own body energy, which creates heat, to keep yourself cool, therefore counteracting the effects of fanning yourself.

Your skin determines how hot it is by comparing it to past events (like getting out of a pool into the hot sun). When you fan yourself, it dries up moisture on your skin that takes away heat and makes you feel cool. When you stop, your skin compares the still air to the cool sensation that you felt before and makes you feel hot.
It is the same as walking out of your hot house in the summer. Before you leave, you are adjusted to the temperature in your house (your are not hot nor cold). You then leave your house to the cooler air and get adjusted to that. When you return to your house, it then feels hot because your skin is comparing it to the conditions it was in prior.

because you're not creating any cool air, you are just blowing warm air on , and you are using energy to do it
