The Beauty Hacks a 50-Plus Model Uses to Age Well Without Botox, Toxic Skincare, or Going Under the Knife with Juliana Spaven | EP221
REPLAY! We are bringing this one back because getting older does not have to mean giving up on how you look and feel, and this conversation is proof.
Juliana Spaven is a 50-plus model, content creator, and the founder of Silver Highlights 1971, a platform built around helping women age well without surgery, Botox, or toxic products. On Wellness Junkies, host Amy Sherman and Juliana dig into the real conversation most women are having privately but rarely hear out loud, and why your 50s might be the most powerful decade yet.
Juliana shares the wellness tips and beauty routines that changed everything for her, from ditching Botox after a decade to building a skincare practice rooted in clean ingredients and consistency. She breaks down her approach to face yoga and how targeted facial exercises helped lift and define her features without a single procedure. She also walks through her skincare product recommendations, including the brands she trusts and the at-home tools that have made the biggest difference in her skin.
Aging naturally is a full-body practice, and Juliana breaks down how nutrition, movement, and mindset all show up on your face and in your energy. She also shares the beauty hacks she swears by and why looking good starts long before you ever open a skincare product.
If you have ever wondered whether it is too late to age well and make a real change, this episode will change your mind.
