Because they are farthest from the heart and because they have very little fat insulation. Also, no large blood vessels going into them. Also (usually) the most exposed to weather (hands)

They are the furthest from the main warm body..have the least blood flow and are most exposed to the elements.

It skill you're chilly. once you get chilly, your body cuts down the move to the extremities to stay away from warmth loss. even as there's a lot less move, the oxygen on your blood receives used up earlier it receives to the top, like your fingertips. So evidently blue fairly of pink. there's a condition referred to as Raynaud's phenomenon in which the hands turn white, then blue. even as they are warmed, they have a tendency to teach pink. I truly have given you a link to a piece of writing on Raynaud's.

furthest points away from heart,and it takes longer for blood to reach those points,therefore the blood is not as warm when it reaches those areas as it was when it left your heart.

less blood circulation in these areas of the body

because they are the farthest from your heart, less circulation.. the body has to work harder to get blood to the farthest places from the heart

also the ears. They are most exposed, in relation to how much blood circulation they have.
