Water can, and does, move through the pores of human skin. Sweat (mostly water) is excreted (out) through skin pores. Additionally, some water is absorbed (in) through the skin pores. However, most water that is absorbed through the skin, enters through the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. This is what makes skin pruney, when a long time is spent in the water. Human skin can absorb a wide variety of other chemicals, as well. This is why the delivery of some medications is accomplished using a patch.
