Earlier this Summer I tried the
two-step Cellulite smoothing system from St. Ives. It works better than anything I've tried before, but I've had a hard time finding the first step, the gel, around town. I've been assured that it's available at places like Drugstore.com, so I'll be checking that out.
In the meantime, I say this new combo self-tanner/cellulite smoother from Tarte today..
CelluFIGHT™ Anti-Cellulite Self-Tanner is a Weekly Special at Sephora right now. It's on sale for $15 for 5 ounces. It's usually $40. It doesn't have a huge amount of stars - only 3 out of 5, but it's a "natural" product with no glycols, gluten, dye, talc, MEA, DEA, TEA, formaldehyde donors, or fragrance. Also free from parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMOs, or triclosan.
It's supposed to give you a healthy glow while toning and smoothing your skin. I wonder if the lack of stars is due to people with super high expectations? No moisturizer is magic - a smoothing effect is pretty than nothing, in many cases.
CelluFIGHT™ is formulated with skinTIGHT™ complex, a proprietary anticellulite complex that firms and tones skin while improving elasticity. Plant and bionutrient extracts boost cellular metabolism, shedding excess fat tissue, and caffeine helps stimulate blood flow, immediately reducing "the orange-peel" effect on problem areas such as waist, hips, thighs, and buttocks. This anticellulite, natural self-tanner contains clinically proven antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that prevent the long-term buildup of fat tissue under the skin.
