Can fat be absorbed through the skin?

[leilei88]

Can lipids/triglycerides/fats be absorbed through the skin? I know the skin is waterproof but is it fatproof? Can fat be absorbed through the skin and increase the subcutaneous fat layer? Specifically butter, olive oil, is there a difference between saturated and unsaturated fats? I'm just curious... Since facial fat loss = ageing... so putting fat on your face might reverse the process.

Thanks!

Nope.
