ONE TO WATCH
Vita Liberata Phenomenal Tones is a new self-tan that lasts for two to three weeks on skin. Available in three shades – Fair, Medium and Dark – the mousse formula is easy to blend and offers one of the fastest drying
tanning solutions on the market. One application will offer five day coverage, a second application (applied two to 24 hours after the first) will give seven to ten days coverage, and a third application will give coverage for over ten days. The formula is 70% organic, free from parabens, toxins, alcohol and perfume, and incorporates a new, patent-pending ingredient called pHeno2 that works alongside active tanning ingredient DHA to ensure the formula takes to the skin in a way that regular self tans can’t. Meanwhile, the unique moisture-lock complex, Pentavitin, hydrates the skin and helps maintain coverage, ensuring an even fade. Rsp £37.50, Vita Liberata,

Customer Q&A
Marcia Kilgore, founder, Soap & Glory and Bliss
When it comes to reducing cellulite are ingredients or massage/application more important, or both equally crucial? Most cellulite products work on two levels: on the surface to reduce puffiness, and also under the surface – mentally – to make you more aware of what you’re putting in your body because you spend time every day putting something on it. Soap & Glory has just launched Sit Tight XS which has our super- concentrated Pressocapsular-Firm- Plus – microspheres that long-release caffeine when you sit on them. Massaging, dry brushing and anything that stimulates lymphatic drainage circulation to help push out puffiness can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. You have to be dedicated and repeat a routine at least daily when it comes to dry brushing or lymph drainage, and no amount of inner thigh massage will erase a chocolate cake. I bike about 50 miles a week, do hot yoga whenever possible, massage my lab supplied 2 kilo container of Sit Tight XS on every chance I get, massage in the shower with our extreme rubber massage mitt, avoid processed food at all costs and steer clear of cheese. Behaviour modification is 100% in your mind. If you spend 20 minutes massaging an anti-cellulite cream that you forked over some good dosh for, you’re less likely to have that mid-morning donut - whatever motivates us, right?!
