When you hold a mug of hot cocoa, you feel a change in temperature. How does the skin detect this change?

I think the skin has receptors that feel a change in the temperature from there it sends a message to the processing center of the brain called the hypothalamus, this center of the brain also has temperature receptors to detect a temperature change in the blood.
