"Celia your bum has dimples in it" "AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I ran as fast as my fairly long legs would carry me to the full length mirror to check this out, thanking my 3 year old sister along the way for the observation she had just made! And my worst nightmare came true, indeed I did no longer have that smooth, cellulite free body I had had for so long.
At only 16, and being 5'10 and a size 12, I really didnt expect to encounter this kinda problem for a fairly long time, so entirely unprepared, I weighed up the possible solutions.
-Exercise? -Toning machine from Argos?! -That orange bottle thats always advertised on telly...
The last option it is then, cheapest and effortless! So I did a little bit of research, found out its name, Garnier - BodyTonic and found out that it's supposed to help tone the body - just by spraying it on and rubbing it in, whoopee, there is a god!!
I added it to the usual list that mounts up for my next trip to Boots and off I went the following day. Scanning the isles of beauty products, bottle after bottle, cream after cream, I spotted it, standing out stark against the other bottles, with its sleek orange exterior. At £6.99 I was already beginning to have my doubts though, I already concluded that this, no doubt, would just be added to the long list of expensive beauty products that don't work and end up stuck amongst a pile of other rubbish for years to come!
When I got in, this was the first product I decided to try out. After reading the bottle, I found that results were to be expected in 7 days, the sooner I started, the sooner I could see!
Apparently the formula contains grapefruit, kiwi and green apple extracts, in a bid to stimulate and tone the skin. The back states that : "Tests prove, in just seven days, skin appeares rtansformed" Let's put it to the test!
So on it went, spraying on nice and easily and absorbing suprisingly fast. My skin felt smoother and softer already! Things were looking good, it even smelled nice, probably because of the "fruit essences" that are in with all theusual chemicals.
It needs to be applied everyday, preferably after a bath or shower so your pores are open, making it more effective. Complying with the guidlines, I applied it every night before bedtime.
THE RESULT One week on and I braved the mirror once again... Hmm......I ummed and aahed for a little while, considering whether it looked much better. I came to the conclusion that my skin looked better, felt smoother and was probably slightly more toned! The smoothness was incredible though, my skin felt so silky and soft to the touch!
At £6.99 for a 150ml bottle, I wouldn't so much reccomend it as a toning mist, but more as a very effective moisturiser! Once this bottle has run itself dry, I doubt that I will buy it again, although admittedly I did look a bit better but exercise would probably be much more effective. When I asked my boyfriend if it felt any softer he said it felt the same, and being the suck up that he is, I was suprised that he didn't humour me - so it probably wasn't as effective as I think!
