Why do my hands sting?

I work at a fast food restaurant and lately when I use hand sanitizer the backs of my hands have been stinging and burning really bad. It continues to sting for 10-15 minutes. The cold winter weather has made my hands get a little dry, is that why? Or is there some other reason it could be?

    You need to put some Vaseline on them hands! Dry skin and alcohol don't mix.
