For the same reason water does, only more so. The boiling point of acetone is between room temperature and body temperature, so instead of evaporating slowly like water, acetone evaporates within minutes of touching skin. While the acetone is evaporating, heat is flowing from you to the acetone, so you feel cold where it touches you.
