Why exactly does this occur? It's always perplexed me.

Actually, this is because the oil on your skin known as sebum washes away, and your skin absorbs water. Sebum is a waterproof oil that makes water bead off our skin, but if you are in water for a long time the sebum is washed off. Your skin absorbs a little water and swells in some areas, especially the fingers and toes, making you appear wrinkly!
