Alicia Silverstone tells Byrdie that she’s never had Botox and is embracing her face “lines”
In the cover story, the actress says she’s aging naturally and “curious to see what happens”
Silverstone also credits her plant-based diet for her youthful glow
Alicia Silverstone has an all-natural approach to beauty.
In a cover story for Byrdie published on Tuesday, Aug. 5, the actress, 48, opens up about resisting the cosmetic procedures that have become so commonplace in Hollywood. Instead, she tells the outlet that she’s interested in aging naturally.
“I have lines,” she shares. “I don’t know. I’m curious to see what happens. I’d like to be an example [of what that would look like].”
Silverstone says she’s never gotten Botox and doesn’t get fillers, claiming her plant-based diet is “critical” to her youthful glow.
“My health, I did not plan for,” she says. “I could think clearly, feel more, [and] be present. All of a sudden, my nails got really thick and strong. My hair got really thick. My eyes got all white.”
The Clueless actress continues, “This is the one thing in life that I feel so certain about. There’s so much to not be certain about, but I am so absolutely certain about this… I feel like it really works with aging well.”

Of the pressures of Hollywood, Silverstone acknowledges that looking a certain way is “in the fabric of this job, and just being a woman and being alive; it’s part of our society and culture.”
“As I age, I’m aware that I don’t look like everybody else,” she adds. “But I don’t lose sleep over it. I don’t prioritize it that much… I’m having too much fun.”

As for her beauty routine, Silverstone keeps it simple with a lineup of products that are free of animal ingredients and animal testing.
“I only have so much time,” she says. “I want to look my best, but I don’t care enough. And I don’t think anything that you put on is going to do what the inside does — that radiance, that glow, that joy.”
Silverstone, who has been vegan since the 1990s, has previously opened up about feeding her 13-year-old son Bear a plant-based diet.
“[Bear] loves the food I give him,” she told PEOPLE in 2014. “He’s not being deprived of anything. For him, having amazing fruit is like candy!”
In a 2017 video for the nonprofit Farm Sanctuary’s Compassionate Meals program, the actress said, “The amazing thing about it is that it’s turned me into a health nut, because you feel so good, you feel so different. So being able to do something that is good for the Earth, good for the animals and good for you all at the same time seems like such a no-brainer. It’s like the biggest ‘Duh!’ “
