After a relatively mild October, a harsh winter chill seems to have set in and it's wreaking havoc with our skin! With sales of skincare specifically designed for delicate skin types on the rise, is it possible that we have become a nation who are now overly obsessed with having sensitive skin?

According to Beauty4Media, a report published earlier this year estimated that sales of sensitive/gentle skincare products is worth more than $202 million, with the majority of sales coming from the facial cleanser and facial moisturizer segments.

"Women are very committed to caring for their skin, but they're often diagnosing themselves with new issues and use so many new products to solve them that they develop irritation."

"Cleansing religiously, exfoliating too often, and topping it all off with a generous layers of topical products are just a few of the things that can send our complexions into overdrive."
