Does your skin soak up smells?

Whenever i chop an onion, my hands smell, i wash them and they still smell, i wash them further and still it remains. The following day i wake up and it still remains. This can sometimes last up to 3 days. Same goes with smoking, if i smoke i stink of it no matter how much i shower.

I noticed that other people can do the same and it's not bad at all. Is it to do with different people.... different paws?

    Your skin can soak up all kinds of things!!

    I can get a caffeine buzz from putting coffee on my head. (Lol, it was a hair treatment.)

    Also, fetuses absorb tons of environmental chemicals that their mom comes into contact with before they are even born.
