Why is salt water not good for your skin?

The inner fluids of fish are not as salty as the sea water therefore fish have a special gland in their gills that separates the salt from their inner fluids and excretes it back out to the sea. For fish - living in salt water is no big deal. Land creatures get rid of their excess salt by flushing it out with a bunch of extra water. There is a maximum concentration of salt to water that the kidneys are able to produce they can not make pure salt they have to have excess water to get rid of it. So what do you think would happen if you can get no excess water? What if the only water you could get was already saltier than what you have in your body? A land animal drinking sea water would only get saltier and saltier, get sick and eventually die.

If a mammal drinks salt water it tries to get rid of the excess salt by excreting excess water and slowly dehydrates itself to death.
