Skin cells capture stray extracellular water and excess byproducts in the water and expel it through sweat and oil glands. This process becomes critical if the key excretory organs are overloaded or impaired. This is why a person with kidney failure (for example) may have an odor of perfume or ketones -- the kidneys can't deal with the undesirable compounds and the skin excretes some of the material.
