Scientific Speculation - Hydrophobic skin

Recently I got the idea that my humanoid race should have hydrophobic skin, because it sounds cool, and perhaps would help to maintain hygiene.

However, on the second thought, I am not so sure. Wouldn't such skin be awkward/unpleasant in touch? Would it maintain its properties after rubbing against clothes? How would it look and feel like?
