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.

Why does some water cling to your skin after you take a bath?
Water clings to your skin after a bath due to a phenomenon known as surface tension. Surface tension is the cohesive force that causes water molecules to stick together and form droplets. When you emerge from a bath, some water molecules remain on your skin due to this cohesive force, creating the sensation of water clinging to your skin. Additionally, factors such as the temperature and humidity of the air can also influence the amount of water that remains on your skin after a bath.

this is because your skin is not actually completely watertight.

If you are in water that has more stuff dissolved in it you can actually have water sucked out of your body through your skin and become dehydrated. (this happens in the Dead Sea)
