Loss of tone

Loss of tone manifests as skin that is less elastic, less compact, and more relaxed. The areas of the body most affected are often the inner arms, inner thighs, abdomen, buttocks, breasts, and décolleté. The skin may appear less supported, less turgid, and with a reduced ability to “snap back into position” when stretched.

Loss of tone is a natural phenomenon that can be accelerated by several factors: skin aging, reduction of collagen and elastin, weight variations, pregnancy, sedentary lifestyle, menopause, and UV ray exposure. Oxidative stress and an unbalanced lifestyle can also contribute to tissue sagging.

Cellulite is an imperfection related to adipose tissue and microcirculation, manifesting with the typical orange peel appearance. Loss of tone, however, concerns the reduction of skin elasticity and compactness. The two conditions can coexist and mutually accentuate each other.

To improve skin tonicity, it is important to associate regular physical activity with specific skincare and consistency in treatment application. A complete routine can include:

- An effective but gentle body exfoliant, such as ExfoGel or HappyScrub. 

- Toning body treatments, also to be applied in layering according to the Rhea philosophy, such as 2Tone, CloudTone, or ToneTrainer, for daily firming action.

- A night toning wrap like SleepTone, to act on tone during night rest.

It depends on needs and texture preferences. Choose 2Tone if you love light, “featherweight” textures that absorb instantly: it helps to improve skin elasticity and compactness. CloudTone is a toning body mousse perfect for those who want a soft and enveloping texture with targeted action against skin sagging. You can use them alone or in layering: first the bi-phase treatment and then the mousse, on the whole body or focusing on the most critical or treatment-needing areas.

Applied before physical activity, ToneTrainer also performs a firming action on the body, amplified by exercise, whether low or high intensity: it reduces fluid stagnation and speeds up muscle recovery capacity, lowering the perception of fatigue after every effort.

The most effective active ingredients for loss of tone are those that support the skin's structure and collagen production. Among these are:

- Peptides and biomimetic actives

- Hyaluronic Acid

- Antioxidants like Vitamin C and E

- Biotechnological extracts with tensor action

- Redensifying and firming actives

In the case of 2Tone, the formula also contains an active ingredient called “Fillering®”: a biotechnological extract derived from the microalga Nannochloropsis Oculata with a fraction of polysaccharides, which has an instant and long-term firming effect.

Yes: physical exercise contributes to maintaining muscle tone and supporting tissue compactness. To enhance the benefits of movement, Rhea has developed ToneTrainer, the toning body gel that amplifies the effects of physical activity, even at low intensity, favoring tonicity, elasticity, and muscle recovery.

Yes: after weight loss or slimming, the skin may appear less compact and need specific treatments. The constant use of toning and redensifying products, associated with physical activity and targeted massages, can contribute to progressively improving the skin's appearance and quality.

Yes: the neck and décolleté are among the first areas to show loss of elasticity and skin sagging. MorphoShapes 1 is the Rhea serum specifically formulated to remodel, tone, and nourish the skin of the neck and décolleté, helping to improve its elasticity and compactness. MorphoShapes 2 is, instead, the specific shock treatment for firming the breasts.

The skin can appear firmer and more compact after the first few weeks of using Rhea products. For more evident improvements on elasticity, tonicity, and tissue definition, it is advisable to follow a consistent routine for at least 6-8 weeks.

Prevention comes from a combination of good habits and targeted skincare: regular physical activity, protection from UV rays, constant hydration, and the use of Rhea firming products. Early intervention helps to preserve skin elasticity, compactness, and quality over time.
