Finger tips and toes have a thicker layer of skin. Soak too long it the tub, it absorbs water and tries to expand, but being connected to the body, it can't. This results in the wrinkles and folds (like a prune) As the excess water evaporates, the skin goes back to normal.

Hands prune within 5 minutes in the shower?

Hands prune in the shower due to a process called osmosis, where water enters the outer layer of skin, causing it to swell and wrinkle.

The effect typically occurs within minutes of exposure to water and is temporary, with hands returning to their normal state shortly after drying.
