Answer 2

Answer:

• We know that our skin is porous.
• When we wash clothes, our hands behave as hypertonic and the water outside acts as hypotonic.
• As water flows from higher concentration to lower concentration, Hence water flows out of our skin to the wash tub.
• As a result our skin shrinks.
