Humans are designed to use lungs for efficient oxygen transfer. The body surface (called skin or the epidermis) is designed more to keep harmful things out than to let oxygen in.

Where does the exchange of oxygenfood nutrients and waste materials take place?

You don't specify which organism you are asking about, but I assume you mean in humans. These processes happen all over the body between the blood capillaries and the cells. If you mean exchange with the outside world, then oxygen is exchanged in the lungs, food nutrients in the small intestine, and nitrogenous waste in the kidneys. However, waste carbon dioxide is exchanged through the lungs and other wastes through the skin.
