Sensitive Skin

Why do the advertisements on television propagate sensitive skin as were it an asset, something to strive towards?

Anyone who has ever been outdoors or engaged in any kind of physical activity knows that sensitive skin is not an asset - it's a handicap. Try jumping through hawthorns wearing a pair of khaki shorts like any self respecting explorer would, and you know what I'm talking about. Sensitive is not what you want to be.

An alternative solution is to rub your entire body with Diesel every fortnight. It'll harden you.
