Dumb question, does ur skin absorb extra water in the shower
I know the obvious answer is yes, but my question is more about any relative gain. Every morning, before step into the shower, I weigh myself. Then when I get out, I weigh myself again (scale addiction). It never fails that I've gone up almost 8 tenths of a pound every time. When I complained this morning, my hubby said it's bc my skin absorbs water in the shower. It makes sense, but could I really be absorbing almost a pound of water in every shower? Hmmmmmm........

Yes you do absorb water through your skin, just as you lose it. When you take baths your hands and feet become waterlogged if you stay long enough, doesn't happen as quickly in the shower but it does.
Yes, of course skin absorbs water. That's why we use moisturizer to keep our skin hydrated!
Plus, wet hair weighs a lot more than dry hair!
