: In the cold weather because of heating the humidity could be quite low in your house so your hands may be dry with the soap you use and mouth can be dry with mouth breathing. There is nothing serious, you should use a humidifier next to your bed, keep humidity above 35% all the time and using gloves if you do dish washing with soap.
