The present invention concerns in particular a cosmetic skincare method comprising the simultaneous or sequential application: (i) of a composition comprising at least one agent increasing the expression of mechano-receptors in the cells of the skin; (ii) of a device intended to apply and/or maintain, controlledly, mechanical stresses to/on the skin. It also relates to a cosmetic kit comprising at least a composition comprising at least one agent increasing the expression of mechanoreceptors in the cells of the skin; and a device intended to apply and/or maintain, controlledly, mechanical stresses to/on the skin. The joint use of said composition and said device makes it possible to potentiate and/or prolong the effect of mechanical stresses induced by the application of said device on the improvement in the thickness of the skin, the improvement in the radiance of the complexion, the improvement in the density of the skin and/or the improvement in the mechanical properties of the skin (firmness, elasticity, tonicity) and/or to promote regeneration of the skin and/or its cicatrization.
