Ageing does not mean you have to lose your natural glow. German influencer Sue Giers shares her secret to smooth, toned and glowing legs at 56.

Ageing doesn’t have to mean dull, crepey skin or losing your natural glow - especially when it comes to your legs. With the right care, consistency and a few simple habits, smooth, toned-looking legs are possible well into your 50s and beyond. Healthy ageing is less about reversing time and more about supporting circulation, skin health and hydration in ways that work with your body. Proof of that lies in these easy, at-home tricks that show how glowing legs can be a realistic goal at any age.

Sue Giers, a 56-year-old German Instagram personality and mother of three, is admired for her remarkably smooth, toned and radiant legs that continue to turn heads. In an Instagram video shared on January 10, the fitness influencer shares five secrets that help keep her legs firm, supple and well-defined, maintaining a healthy, youthful appearance well into her 50s.

Coffee ice-cube massage

Sue uses a coffee ice-cube massage on her legs to stimulate blood circulation, help tighten the skin and reduce puffiness, leaving the area looking firmer and more toned. She recommends, “Brew strong coffee, freeze it in an ice cube tray, and massage your legs with the cubes in circular motions. The caffeine tightens the skin, while the cold boosts circulation and reduces puffiness!”

Rice flour and rose water scrub

Making a homemade scrub with rice flour and rose water works as a gentle exfoliant, helping slough off dead skin cells while promoting smoother, softer skin. The fitness influencer explains, “Mix rice flour with rose water for a gentle yet powerful exfoliator. It removes dead skin, brightens the legs, and leaves them super smooth - like an at-home microdermabrasion!”

Raw honey and cinnamon glow mask

A natural, homemade mask made with raw honey and cinnamon can help enhance skin glow while supporting a more even-looking skin tone. Sue advises, “Blend raw honey with a pinch of cinnamon and apply it to your legs for 10 minutes. This mix stimulates blood flow, evens out skin tone, and gives your legs a natural, golden glow!”

Apple cider vinegar leg wraps

According to Sue, apple cider vinegar helps detoxify and firm the skin while also reducing the appearance of visible veins. She explains, “Soak a cloth in diluted apple cider vinegar and wrap it around your legs for 15 minutes. It detoxifies, tightens the skin, and makes veins less visible over time!”

Silk pillowcase leg trick

Silk pillowcases are gentler on the skin, which is why the fitness influencer recommends placing a silk pillowcase under your legs while sleeping. She highlights, “At night, place a silk pillowcase under your legs while you sleep. It prevents friction, keeps skin hydrated, and helps avoid crepey skin. Plus, it feels like a luxury spa treatment!”
