Sebum is found on the outermost layer of skin. Sebum moistens, or lubricates (say: LOO-bruh-kates), and protects your skin. It also makes your skin a bit waterproof. That's why water runs off your skin when you wash your hands, instead of soaking it in like a sponge would. But staying in water for a long time washes away the sebum. Then, the water can penetrate the outer layer of your skin. This causes your skin to become waterlogged. So how does this lead to wrinkles? For a long time, people thought the water caused skin to swell up and get puffy. Now researchers believe wrinkly fingers could be a nervous system reaction. Why? Because it's easier to pick up wet objects with wrinkly fingers. What should you do if this happens to you? Nothing. It goes away quickly on its own. You'll have more sebum on your skin in no time. http://kidshealth.org/en/kids/wrinkly-fingers.html ]]> 2018-02-06 15:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/228638822 https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/228645361 2018-02-06 15:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/228645361 https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/228645976 Wrinkles are caused by blood vessels below the skin and when your hands and feet wrinkle it can get a better grip on something wet or submerged in the water like the rain treads in a car tires. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-our-fingers-and-toes-wrinkle-during-a-bath/

In general, if you spend longer than 10 minutes in the water, your skin is likely to start wrinkling.

Once the oil is gone, the water begins to adsorb its way into the outer layer of your skin. When you have wrinkly bath fingers, your fingertips are actually waterlogged, which means they are completely saturated with water. As the epidermis begins to swell, it pulls on live skin layers beneath.

In salt water the salt inside the water is greater than the salt in your body, so the salt moves out of your body and into the water not letting your fingers wrinkle. In fresh water your fingers wrinkle because the water moves in to your finger causing the wrinkles to occur.]]> 2018-02-07 14:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/229123866 https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/229124250 2018-02-07 14:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/229124250 https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/229125090 2018-02-07 14:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/229125090 https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/229125372 2018-02-07 15:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nlubarski/wwcni4uxofhr/wish/229125372
