No it won't. The specular effect occurs at the air-surface boundary. If the skin is completely 100% covered by water, then the skin does not meet the air at all.
Of course, that never really happens. There are droplets, and dry areas. So what you really want to do is have a droplet mask. You drive the Blinn parameters with that mask. Where there is water, use the sharp settings. Where there is no water, use the rough settings.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
