Does your body hydrate at all when you take a shower?

Does your body absorb any H2O whilst in the shower?

Nope. You should be thankful for that too. A lot of water is really gross. 

>Can we absorb water in ways other than drinking?
In short, no. In a more detailed answer, kind of but not really.
There are a lot of curious people on the internet asking if water can be absorbed via the skin, like if you take a long shower or bath.
While you can absorb things like minerals, nutrients and chemicals through the skin, your epidermis is literally made to be water resistant. This means that no matter how long you stay submerged in water, you’re not really pulling in the water into your system.
But what about when you get all wrinkly in the bath? Well that has to do with the most outer layers of skin cells, the stratum corneum, which is essentially dead cells. These dead cells soak up the water, causing them to bloat and wrinkle the skin, but the water really doesn’t get anywhere past them. So your 1 hour baths can still make you thirsty.
