What is osmosis and its affects on skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Membrane passage: It is the passage of fluid from an area more concentrated through a membrane to a place less concentrated to acheive a balance. If you are trying to get your skin to absorb a cream or a lotion it is not due to osmosis.
