Description : Why do my hands burn after putting lotion on them when they've been really dry?
Last Answer : When your hands get extremely dry, tiny cracks form on the surface of your skin. That's why it hurts when you have dry hands, and you move them, you're stretching out the little cuts. When you put ... on them, then it's basically like you're rubbing the lotion into a bunch of teeny tiny cuts. Ouch.
