Hi,since you use soap often it's definitely cause for your dry skin ,so after every wash dry your hands and apply a moisturizer ,or even vaseline might be more beneficial,try using liquid hand wash rather than soap,if there is any itching association wearing gloves while washing dishes is more practical. The area that gets black a lightening skin moisturizing cream would be more beneficial

Soaps cause a lot of dryness of skin. They cause depletion of the moisture.
With increased awareness, we all have even started washing our hands more frequently while forgetting to moisturize.
Increase your frequency of moisturising.
If there is redness or anything else please consult.
