Thats not right, and I'll tell you why. The organs that humans use to put oxygen into their blood are called "lungs." Skin does other stuff, but breathing isn't one of them.
Think about this: whats the difference between scuba diving and painting your entire body in the context of this experiment?
Cliffs: You do not need to absorb oxygen into your blood through your skin.
