This is to do with the concentration. A washing detergent is alkaline based. This dries out the skin because your skin cells try to even out the concentration. Through the process of diffusion the water in your cells leaves in attempt to dilute the external environment. (Ever noticed how if you stay swimming for too long your fingers wrinkle... same concept). So, through the process of diffusion (movement of water from one concentrated environment in the attempt to dilute another) your hands appear dry and red.
