Why does the skin of your fingers shrinks when you was clothes for a long time?
Share
Clothes are washed with soap or detergent solution. This solution is hypertonic as compared to osmotic concentration of our skin cells. The washing solution, therefore, results in exosmosis in the skin cells that come in contact with it for some time. Due to this reason, the skin over the fingers shrinks while washing
clothes for a long time.
