The accepted scientific consensus is that while the skin contains aquaporins, which are channels that facilitate water transport, it does not significantly absorb water under normal or fasting conditions. The skin's primary function is to act as a barrier, protecting against water loss and external substances. This barrier is highly effective, and while minor water absorption can occur, it is not substantial enough to contribute meaningfully to overall hydration. The body's hydration needs are primarily met through oral intake of fluids. However, we're now going to dig into aquaporins and their relation to hydration in the body. In fact, they may be one of the keys to explaining the phenomenon of water absorption through the skin during prolonged dry fasting.
