As they are amphibians, salamanders have soft, moist skinas a body covering. Salamanders and other water amphibians are usually covered in a thin mucous membrane, or a somewhat slimy or sticky residue.
The alpine salamander, for example, can excrete toxic milky substance which makes its skin moist and which acts as a defence against predators.
