Why does the fingers shrink after washing?
The outermost layer of the skin swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin underneath, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. However, new research is investigating the role of digital vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) of water immersion wrinkling of the skin.

Your finger does not shrink. Your skin soaks up water and gets larger. It makes it look like your fingers shrink but its just your skin that is larger.

THIS HAPPENS BECOZ OF THE PROCESS OF OSMOSIS...WEN OUR SKIN CUMS IN CONTACT WID WATER THE WATER FRM OUR HAND MOVES OUT THRU THE SEMI PERMEABLE MEMBRANE(SKIN) SO DATS Y OUR HANDS SKIN SHRINKS..... our skin of finger shrinks when we do the same, as when we wash the clothes the water around the fingers or hand behaves like hypertonic solution and water starts coming out from finger(cell) to out side region causing the fingers to shrink.

Why the fingers shrink after bath?
The skin will wrinkle because your skin is made up of two layers. The outer layer is called the epidermis and the lower level is the dermis. The outer layer (epidermis) produces an oily substance called sebum. You can see this substance when you touch a window or mirror and your "oily" fingerprint is left there. One job sebum does is it keeps water out of your skin-a job that it does very well. However, after long periods of time in a swimming pool, shower, or bathtub, much of the sebum is washed off and your outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. As it absorbs water it swells, but since the epidermis is "tied" down to your dermis in certain spots, it expands more where it is not "tied" down and this causes your skin to wrinkle. The difference between your skin and a raisin is that raisins wrinkle because they shrink, but your skin wrinkles because it is getting bigger. Once you get out of the pool or tub, the water that your skin absorbed will evaporate, your skin will return to its usual size, and you body will produce more sebum. Your fingers and toes will be back to normal in no time.
