Soap and water.
Experience from cooking Indian, Korean, and Mexican cuisine (all with spices). It is a good idea to try chopping pungent vegtables, especially onions, under water, but I think this is mainly to prevent your eyes from watering.
You say your hands are sore from chopping chillies. The best solution, Rubber Duckie, is to use rubber gloves!

My husband id a chef and he often uses chillies, he said the best thing to do is to slice half a fresh lemon and use it to wash your hands before soap and water.

cleansing soap and water--various cleansing soap and water! Tip: - whilst dealing with clean chilies be careful to no longer touch gentle components mutually with your eyes. Even washing your palms afterwards isn't any assure to removing each and every of the chili oil. i'd advise rubbing a splash olive or vegetable oil into your palms earlier you start to supply a protective barrier to the chili oil, yet be careful with knives once you have oily palms!

Chillies never make my hands sore. I didn't know they did that. Something acidic though I think. And don't scratch your eyes of your delicate places.
