I have bad facial skin. I wanted to try something more natural than putting lotion with vitamins in it. I wanted to get some vitamins and put them directly on my face.
Will they be absorbed?
Will water soluble vitamins be absorbed if I disolve them in water?
Will fat soluble vitamins be absorbed?
Will fat soluble vitamins clog my pores (since most are oils i.e. fish oils, etc)?

No fat soluble vitamins will not be absorbed through the skin, they will do you no good and may even irritate your skin (this goes for the water soluble ones too)

That is not a good idea. Vitamin pills are mostly organic salts, and are formulated to be digested. The vitamins in lotions are usually esterized to allow some chemical interactino with the skin.
The natural way to get vitamins is through you mouth through the foods that you eat.
