The skin produces sweat, but this is not really an excretion. The main function of sweat is to help cool the body. However sweat also contains small amounts of urea, the main waste found in the urine. The concentration of urea in sweat is much less than that in the urine, so this is not a significant route for excretion. Sweat also contains samll amounts of salts (minerals), but again the urine is the main route for the elimination of excess salt.
