Tallow Skincare Tips | How to Use Tallow for Healthy, Glowing Skin

Tallow balms and butters are incredibly concentrated. Start with a tiny, pea-sized amount. You'll be surprised how far it spreads and how deeply it nourishes. You can always add more if needed.

Tallow is a natural product and will soften or melt with warmth. Store your tallow products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If it melts, simply stir and place it in the refrigerator for a short time to re-solidify. Its effectiveness won't be compromised.

To apply, scoop a small amount and gently warm it between your fingertips. This will help it melt into a smooth, easily spreadable oil, allowing for better absorption.

For some individuals, especially when transitioning from synthetic products, a "purging" phase may occur. This is a temporary increase in breakouts as your skin adjusts and detoxifies. If this happens, reduce frequency of use and slowly reintroduce as your skin becomes accustomed to the natural ingredients. This typically resolves within a few weeks as your skin rebalances.

For best results and to truly experience the restorative benefits of tallow, incorporate your chosen products into your daily or regular routine.

As with any new product, especially if you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of your skin before applying widely.

Apply a small amount to clean, damp skin after cleansing and toning. Gently massage in upward strokes. Ideal for soothing dry patches, calming irritation, and promoting a healthy glow.

Massage into dry areas like elbows, knees, heels, and any rough patches for intense hydration and restoration, but don’t forget everywhere else!

Dab a tiny bit onto lips for deep hydration and protection. Rub into cuticles to soften and nourish.

Use a small amount to condition, tame, and add a healthy sheen to beards and eyebrows.

For a deeply conditioning treatment, apply Nourish (or your chosen tallow balm) to dry hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends, and gently massaging into the scalp. Leave on for a minimum of 4 hours, or even overnight, before shampooing as normal. The longer it stays, the more beneficial.

For daily use, take a tiny, almost imperceptible amount, warm it thoroughly between your palms, and lightly smooth over flyaways, frizzy areas, or split ends for natural shine and control without greasiness.

Apply tallow products to slightly damp skin or hair after showering or washing. This helps to lock in moisture effectively.
