Our skin is porous and behaves as a semi permiable membrane. When we wash clothes, our hands are exposed to water for a long time. Our hands behave as hypertonic solution and the outside of our hands behave as hypotonic solution. Hence, water flows from high concentration to low concentration. The water is not entering your hands, it actually leaves them and hence, they shrink.

It is due to adsorption. While washing clothes adsorption that is swelling up of the surface of an object due to absorption of water takes place. Since the skin is loose ot does not swell up but gets shrivelled.
