A simple experiment can help here. Get two dishes and rub some butter on them. Then try to clean them with soap and water. On one dish use cold water and on the other use hot water. The hot water dish should be significantly easier to clean than the cold water dish.

As the other commentators have stated your skin is moisturized by the oils that you produce. The hot water will wash significantly more away leaving your skin drier.
