Yes. Makes getting decent sunscreen and other cosmetics a pain. Sol ban a good option but is drying and expensive if you need to use it over the whole body.

Make sure to watch out even a lot of "natural" and "healthy" cosmetics are full of pufa. A lot of the scented oils such as lavender oil are pufas.

Yes. There are studies done showing PUFA oils massaged into skin show up raised in blood tests shortly after.

I think the same would happen with saturated fats too, so if you use tallow, cocoa butter and/or coconut oil-based potions on skin, some of that might absorb into the system too - especially the shorter chain coconut oil.
