prolonged sea water penetrate into skin ( salt into the skin ) or dehydrate the skin ? Any experience or literature ?
You don't need any experience or literature. It's dehydration through a very well known and fully understood process called osmosis. End of story.
I am familiar with osmosis, But what is the answer when a body that drowns in water or at sea it swells , why does not dehydrate . I can see wen you have swollen feet and you soak them in Epsom salt you reduce swelling , because osmotic pressure.
Because it rots, producing gas. That's why dead bodies rise up again after initially sinking. Look, you can google all this perfectly easily, you know.
Before rotting takes place the body sinks for several days , then rotting takes place and gas evolves and the density of the body decreases and the body floats
