toning

Toning means increasing the tone of the skin, meaning its strength and firmness. In fact it goes on to say "um die Spannkraft der Haut zu steigern", which is a kind of repetition. I think the whole sentence needs rewriting, not least because it uses the word "Haut" three times.

agree Lancashireman : ... and also with your comment regarding the repetition of Haut. German copywriters seem far less sensitive to this sort of thing.
