WHY*=======================
*Why does our skin go wrinkly in water?*
When a person stays in a water bath for a prolonged time, osmosis occurs and the water flows into the upper skin cells, which then take up the water. Shrinking and expanding effects take place simultaneously in these skin cells, causing wrinkles. The wrinkling effect mostly pops up on the thickest layer of the skin.
