Why does skin become less toned with age?
From the age of 30, the skin begins to change and skin functions are altered. Over the years, the appearance of the skin changes: it becomes finer, less toned and it loses its elasticity. The reason ? The cells responsible for the production of pigments and collagen die or stop renewing themselves.
In women, at menopause, it is the drop in estrogen levels that leads to a slowdown in the production of collagen and elastin fibers .
But the skin is also very sensitive to its environment. External oxidative factors such as tobacco, stress, sun and pollution cause a decrease in its tone and the thinning of its dermis.
To keep the skin toned, the action plan to be put in place must therefore take place in two stages: you will not only have to protect it from these external factors, but also adapt your care routine to your skin, according to its needs!
Facial scrubs
scrubs are ideal for firming up skin that has become less toned. Thanks to their exfoliating actions, they eliminate dead cells which accumulate on the surface of the epidermis. The exfoliation helps you get new skin and stimulates cellular renewal by leaving room for new, young skin cells!
The Grangettes Switzerland Purifying Face Gel allows you to achieve a gentle peel daily. Indeed, it is papain (papaya), which offers delicate but effective exfoliation . It eliminates dead cells to reveal your luminous, toned and revitalized complexion.
Most ? To boost skin tone, clean your face every day with cool water!

Choose targeted care
By targeted care, we mean care that is adapted to your skin type and your needs. In the case of skin that is losing firmness, it is strongly recommended to turn to treatments rich in peptides. These are chains of amino acids which stimulate natural mechanisms and restart the production of collagen and elastin, these proteins which disappear with age.
Also use daily face creams that contain hyaluronic acid. This firming ally works to make your skin more toned. It has hygroscopic properties, which means that it acts like a molecular sponge and has the capacity to retain almost 1000 times its weight in water: this allows it to offer a highly hydrating and smoothing action.
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in our body. When used in cosmetics, it fills the gaps present between cells and activates the synthesis of collagen, renowned for its function on the tone of skin tissues.
To benefit from the combined action of peptides and hyaluronic acid, try the anti-aging cream Grangettes Switzerland. Niacinamide (vitamin B3), palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl dipeptide-5, madecassoside, asiaticoside and hyaluronic acid act to firm and tone the skin.

- The caress on the jaw: apply cream to your hand then place the tops of the fingers under the chin, keeping the joints facing the skin. Maintain firm pressure, and quickly slide your fingers up to your ears. Go from the center of the face outwards, and repeat this movement 5 times;
- tapping on the eye contour: firmly tap the underside of the eyes with your ring finger, starting at the bridge of the nose, then move the finger outwards (from the center outwards), and repeat 10 times. You can do this by applying your eye contour gel ;
-
cheekbone firming: puff out your cheeks and close your mouth with one hand. With your other hand, pat your cheeks, one after the other, then make light pinches at your cheeks.

A balanced diet
Having a toned face also requires diet! For toned skin, opt for foods rich in vitamin C: peppers, kiwis, citrus fruits, broccoli. Foods rich in vitamin A are also your allies. You can find it in carrots, green cabbage, spinach...
Vitamin B1 is also interesting because it fights against skin aging: you find it in wholemeal bread, sesame and dried vegetables.
antioxidants help fight against free radicals, and limit aging of the dermis. They are ideal for maintaining the natural collagen in your skin.
For toned skin, daily, make sure to drink at least 1.5 liters of water!
Protect your skin from the sun every day
To keep your skin toned, be sure to protect it from UV rays every day with sun protection! Indeed, prolonged exposure dries the skin and destroys the natural production of collagen. And it is this lack of collagen that leads to a loss of firmness!
