Just the outside of your body

I guess so

You constantly glow with a dim yellow-green light, just bright enough to read in

Magical. You are perfectly healthy in each case

It’s like a sponge. It takes several hours to get to your maximum size.

No, only the outside of your body

You stop emitting photons while invisible. This does not have any unpleasant aide effects.
