Question about oil

Oil is fat, that much I know, so I've limited my dietary use of it. But what about oil being absorbed by the skin?

I have skin issues, and to keep them at bay I use Vitamin E oil topically twice per day. It's basically Vitamin E suspended in a mixture of soybean, corn, wheat germ, and sesame oils, all of which are rich in Vitamin E themselves. I'm not drinking it, but is the oil entering my bloodstream anyway through the skin? I can't stop using it, I just want to know if I should adjust my caloric intake to make room for absorbing a tablespoon of oil every day.

Anyone know? Thanks!

Sifen

I'm no doctor or anything, but I'd really be shocked if rubbing it in your skin effected cals in any way.

Fair enough. I just want to be sure I'm not accidentally sabotaging myself!

I think you'll be okay. I think the fat particles in oil are probably too big to be absorbed through the dermis. I may be wrong though, so don't quote me on that. But I've been doing massage (not professionally) for a long time and I've never once thought that I could be making someone fatter when I use massage oils...lol!

Since it is not injected intravenously nor ingested through the digestive tract, no your body will not absorb fat inward through the skin
