lol. It's always a good idea to read past the headline if you're going to post a link that *you think* supports your position and actually read the article. From your link:
“The contribution to total respiration is negligible.
The contribution of tcJO2 to the oxygen supply of the whole organism is therefore negligible under normal conditions...
Since in all the experiments in this study an increase of tcJO2 was observed during ischaemia, capillary oxygen removal from the skin is negligible...
Since there is no oxygen consumption in the stratum corneum with a typical thickness of 15 μm, the total thickness of the skin supplied by external oxygen can be estimated to be 266–375 μm...
Under normal conditions the upper skin layers are supplied exclusively by the diffusion of oxygen from the atmosphere. This assumption is justified by the observation of only small changes of tcJO2 during occlusion...
A further reason for the non-attainment of a steady state of the ssPO2 during the 5 min occlusion may be that the tissue oxygen saturation values did not approach a minimum value...”
IOW, your article is saying that oxygen permeates a few layers and is good for skin health, but skin does not breathe, or at best, makes a "negligible" contribution to respiration.
