Method of cosmetic treatment of sagging skin comprises applying at least one polymer to the skin, where: the polymer is obtained from the polymerization reaction of a tensing agent precursor (i) having at least one aryl ring with at least two hydroxyl groups carried by two consecutive carbon atoms of the aromatic ring; and the polymerization reaction is carried out by contacting the precursor tensor agent (i), in the presence oxygen, with a catalyst system comprising e.g. first component (ii) comprising salts and oxides of manganese(II) (Mn(II)) and/or zinc(II) (Zn(II)). Method of cosmetic treatment of sagging skin comprises applying at least one polymer to the skin, where: the polymer is obtained from the polymerization reaction of a tensing agent precursor (i) having at least one aryl ring with at least two hydroxyl groups carried by two consecutive carbon atoms of the aromatic ring; the polymerization reaction is carried out by contacting the precursor tensor agent (i), in the presence oxygen, with a catalyst system comprising a first component (ii) comprising salts and oxides of manganese(II) (Mn(II)) and/or zinc(II) (Zn(II)), and a second component (iii) comprising alkali metal hydrogen carbonates and/or alkaline earth metal hydrogen carbonates; and (i), (ii) and (iii) are included in a three distinct cosmetic composition before contacting. An independent claim is included for packaging set comprising at least: (i) an extract from maritime pine bark containing 60 wt.% of procyanidins, (ii) a first component of a catalyst system comprising salts and oxides of Mn(II) and/or Zn (II), and (iii) a second component of a catalyst system comprising alkaline earth metal hydrogenocarbonates, where the packaging set is in the form of: either as a single compartment devoid of oxygen which are simultaneously at least the compounds (i), (ii) and (iii); or a kit consisting of at least two separate containers, in which the compounds (i), (ii) and (iii) are not present simultan
