Firmness: our tips for maintaining it

Don’t let skin laxity set in! We’re sharing our tips for firmer skin, on your face and body.

Over the years, skin undergoes many changes. Collagen and elastin levels decline, while muscles gradually lose mass. These changes associated with skin aging lead to a loss of firmness, both on the face and body. Fortunately, there are ways to combat sagging and restore some firmness to the skin. Maeva Coutrel, Mary Cohr Training Manager, shares her tips and advice for improving firmness by every means possible. At-home skincare, treatments at the salon, targeted techniques—we’re sharing everything you need to know.

A more defined face

To prevent your skin from sagging, entrust your face to a Mary Cohr beauty professional. They can stimulate your skin and give it a little firming boost. Choose the Age Firming treatment, which, after a double dermabrasion, works the tissues with a manual massage of the face and neck. Or try the Catiovital Lifting treatment, which stimulates the muscles after manual drainage, restoring their tone and facial contours. Alongside these in-salon treatments, which you can schedule once a week, use formulas containing active ingredients that help prevent collagen breakdown, such as Alaria Esculenta Algae extract, and strengthen the skin’s structure, such as sea buckthorn extract. Both are found in the Age Firming cream. To create a mesh on the skin’s surface, you can also use the Lifting Firmness Serum, which tightens facial features and smooths wrinkles. Finally, use the right technique when applying your skincare. Knead and tap the skin, then use a rolling massage technique from the corners of your mouth to your ears.

A reshaped body

Of course, it’s impossible to maintain a toned body without regular physical activity. Support your routine with a treatment such as Body Age Firming, which boosts collagen synthesis and tightens the skin with hydroxyproline, polysaccharides, and Brown Algae extract. Apply it once or twice a day using circular motions, focusing on areas where you notice more sagging. In addition, your Mary Cohr expert can provide the Double Firming Palper-Rouler treatment, which uses TechniSPA® to drain the body and tighten the skin. It improves skin quality and restores firmness with each session. It’s never too late to start—you can take preventative measures at 25 or enjoy a boost in firmness later on.
