One example would be: When your hands are in dishwater for a long time and your skin bloats with water (not shriveling which is a common misunderstanding)

Another is: Putting salt on a slug. Water diffuses out and the slug shrivels up.

In both instances the water moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In other words, the water moves out of your fingers and the slug to try an equalize the salinity outside them both.
