Beat the beauty-baddie with Soap & Glory Sit Tight!

If there was one ‘beauty baddie’ in a beauty superhero cartoon, it would most likely be cellulite. Stubborn, no idea how it arrived, unsightly and exceptionally irritating, cellulite ticks very box on the ultimate beauty-baddie list. Soap & Glory have been targeting this beauty-baddie for years, and they are back at it again, with two new products in their Sit Tight range.

Two years ago we blogged on here about a second incarnation of their cellulite fighter, Sit Tight. Now, they’re back battling again with two new product – Sit Tight Super-Intense 4-D and Sit Tight Saddlebags+ Stubborn Area Serum.

Sit Tight Super Intense 4-D is trying its very hardest in its quest to beat the beauty-baddie that is cellulite. It’s hotter, stronger and more intense than ever. It contains Pinkpepperslim-lipo-fb. This amazing new oil derived from pinkpepper berries works with Pressocapsular – Firm Plus, which has microspheres that deliver slow-release ingredients when you sit on them, and Soap & Glory’s mix of Firmigen Caffeine Complex with Xymenynic Acid (from sandalwood seeds), to firm the skin.

Sweet Orange Peel essential oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Glycerin and Olive Oil smooth the skin. To stimulate, the Soap & Glory Sit Tight comes with a Circu-360 Massage Roller, ergonomically engineered with special tri-ball application technlogy, and there’s also something called Puffdrain 82 in there, a peptide combination.

So, you apply this serum to your buttockbackside and thighs, and then you sit, and let it work. It does have a warming/tingling sensation once you apply, which is completely normal. My favourite bit on the packaging is this: “Reality Check: Lay off the junk foods, sat-fats and fizzy drinks while religiously rolling your bottom and thighs twuce a day with Sit Tight Super Intense 4D and you’re more likely to feel sufficiently svelte.”

This is a clever way of saying that this is no miracle cure. It won’t shift cellulite if you are overweight and do nothing about it.

Soap & Glory have also recently launched Sit Tight Saddlebags + which has been created to hone in on stubborn-areas using polyphenol-loaded smartspheres to target tough-to-shift problem spots. But what does that actually mean? Well, it means that the Microcellu-roller delivers this serum where you want it, instantly. It’s a weird one.

It sort of pinches the skin as you roll – it’s meant to do that, apparently, and it does have a sort of heating and then cooling sensation. You can use this once or twice a day, targeted to where you need it. Ingredients include Antioxidant-rich Coccoloba Fruit Polyphenols, natural Sweet Almond, Sweet Orange Peel and Olive Oils, and that  roller.

Again, your diet can have an effect on cellulite. Some cellulite is just there to stay unfortunately, and all of these type of products don’t come with some magic guarantee. Unfortunately this is a beauty-baddie that even the strongest superhero product will have problems with.

But if you are bothered by cellulite there is no harm in giving them a go – plenty of regular users will recommend them.

Soap & Glory Sit Tight Super Intense 4D serum, £18, and Sit Tight Saddlebags +, £16.50, are both available from Boots and boots.com. Visit soapandglory.com for more info
