Our skin absorbs some water and becomes a little bigger and baggy.
The absorption is mostly due to osmosis.
The tissues under the skin do not absorb as much water.

Your skin has natural oils in it to keep it moist. Hot water draws it out, washes it all away, causing the skin to dehydrate and wrinkle.

i'd say do it as long as you experience gentle - with the intention to maintain your son's pores and skin toddler gentle, be beneficial to moisturize him with a good toddler moisturizer after the tub. Sitting in water has a tendency to dry us out, relatively the toddlers. Blot your son dry with a gentle towel, and moisturize him throughout, particular, throughout. this would help lots and as an extra bonus, it feels great for the toddler and is a very good thank you to bond! rejoice with your baths. My husband and that i had a small tub, so we took turns bathing with our son. Then he have been given too playful whilst he began fairly taking area in his baths, so now he's in there on my own, and we attempt to stay dry as he splashes around!

The water washes away the natural oils that keeps the skin plump. I had this conversation with my daughter this morning(5.3.07) and according to her your skin goes chimpley not wrinkley!!!!

this is because your skin has a chemical in and when you stay in the bath for ages the chemical dries up and courses the skin to go wrinkly

Osmosis. Your skin is a semi-permeable membrane and absorbs the water.

you only normally go wrinkly on the palms of your hands, fingertips, feet etc. this is because the waterproof layer of keratin on our skin as worn off in these area allowing osmosis to take place, therefore they go wrinkly!

It's because the water is warm. Cold water will not do that.

I'll tell you what I told my 5 year olds: "Your skin was very thirsty and it drunk too much!!!"

You soak away all the essential oils in your skin that make it supple.
