Summary |
Fit To Be Tight (FTBT) is a body lotion marketed by Suzanne Somers, who was a TV actress and co-manufacturer of various diet products. FTBT is marketed as a body firming product, which reduces the appearance of cellulite and tightens skin. It’s advertised to create long term results even after use of the product discontinues.
FTBT contains a variety of plant and herbs, some of which may moisturize the skin. We will examine the entire mixture closely to determine if the marketed benefits are likely to occur through regular use of this product.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
|
FTBT includes the following supplements in its formula: Boldo Leaves, Walnut Shell Extract, Sunflower Plant Extract, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E.
According to the manufacturer, Boldo leaves prevent the storage of fat and encourages its elimination, along with increasing the density of the top layer of skin to smooth it out. However, there are no current studies to support this claim, though there is belief that when ingested Boldo extract may enhance food digestion.
Walnut Shell Extract is included in this formula to create a tint to the lotion. This could darken skin to look similar to a tan when used regularly.
Sunflower Plant Extract is full of antioxidants. It’s said to protect hair and skin from “weather damage,” although it is not indicated how this extract performs this task and research is not available to support this claim.
Aloe Vera is traditionally a “medicinal” plant. It’s commonly used on skin to treat rashes, burns and wounds. It also may improve the appearance of the skin by providing moisture.
Vitamin E is also used to enhance the appearance of skin. It is commonly applied to scars, because it is thought to enhance the skins regeneration process. This too could supply additional moisture for the skin.

| Ingredients In Focus |
|
In general, FTBT may improve the overall topical appearance of skin. The additional moisture the skin would receive could be beneficial, and the bronzing component may cover skin irregularities. However, based on the ingredients it is unlikely the skin will actually be tightened or cellulite will be reduced.

| Website |
|
However, this site does lack testimonials from past customers, which can be a good tool for potential users to see how the product works. It also fails to cite any research for the included ingredients and the product as a whole. The products ingredients are similar to other discount products in drugstores. As a basic lotion, moisture may by seen; but actual weight loss is not to be expected with this particular product. Look for topical products that contain Organic Caffeine.

| Final Thoughts |
|
This product most likely will do no more then moisturize and bronze the skin. Currently, there has been nothing clinically proven to reduce cellulite other then actual weight loss. For those who would like to try to decrease the appearance of cellulite using a supplement in an easy-to-use capsule form may prove beneficial. Trying a product with an appetite suppressant, like Hoodia Gordonii, and a patented fat burner may show significant results. The additional use of a topical cream that contains Organic Caffeine is preferred.
