Usually our skin is water resistant with the help of keratin which is part of a cell to resist water and bacteria. After a long bath or a dip in the pool this resistance lessens, and the cells soak up the water and expand. causing the wrinkles. Eventually the water evaporates, and when it does the skin on your fingertips turn back to normal.

What causes fingers to look wrinkly?

Fingers appear wrinkly when exposed to water for extended periods due to the skin's outer layer absorbing moisture and swelling. This is a natural response, as the body may constrict blood vessels in the fingertips to improve grip and traction in wet conditions. The effect is temporary, and the skin returns to its normal state once it dries out.
