definitely permeable.

∙ 11y agoWhile technically the epidermis is riddled with spaces such as the openings through which hairs pass, and sweat pores, as well as incidental cracks and cuts (usually), its hydrophobic cell membrane and waxy cuticle causes water to bead on its surface. You skin will absorb water and other substances through what's called across-membrane transport: basically microscopic gates that allow specific chemicals through based on the state of the cell's interior.

∙ 13y agoThey're better than permeable - they're SEMIpermeable! :D
This extends to ALL cells.
To start off, if a cell is not permeable, life would not exist. There would be no way to get water or oxygen or nutrients into the cell, and no way of getting waste out. So it MUST be permeable.
It's semipermeable meaning is lets some things through and some things not. because the center of the MEMBRANE is nonpolar, there are special proteins which allow polar substances to get through. The membrane of the cell also is able to regulate the amount of things going through - to a certain extent (we don't stand a chance against diffusion until it decides its done!)
