      I shrivel up quickly so not long and I would be looking like a prune!

      I have absolutely no idea. That crazy American, David Blain, stayed underwater for 7 days in 2006. The doctors examining afterward said his skin was beginning to break down and his liver was damaged.

      I am not at all sure….. I guess you will go wrinkly fairly quickly, but then in terms of more severe shriveliling, I am not sure….

      Weird experiment to do. Why would you want to do this and how are you going to benefit people doing it?

      well in bath you can start to shrivel uip after 30 minutes as the oil is washed off the one layer of skin..it then absorbs water swells and feels seprate to the lower layer of skin that is fixed so cannot move.
