Question: Why do your fingertips go crinkly when you have been in water for a long time!?
Answers:
your skin is a semi permeable membrane!. This means that through osmosis water can enter through your skin!.

Your skin is usually covered in a layer of oil that will stop water entering your skin, but when you wash using soap you remove this layer and therefore water enters you fingers and swells them slightlyWww@Answer-Health@Com
