Tallow is a type of animal fat that is used in organic skincare products. Listed here are reasons why beef tallow helps acne prone skin:
1. Moisturizing: Tallow is high in fatty acids, which can help to moisturize and hydrate the skin. This can help to prevent dryness and flakiness, which can contribute to the development of acne.
2. Anti-inflammatory: Tallow contains oleic acid, which has anti-inflammatory properties. This can help to reduce redness, swelling, and irritation associated with acne.
3. Antimicrobial: Tallow contains palmitoleic acid, which has antimicrobial properties. This can help to kill the bacteria that contribute to the development of acne.
4. Nutrient-rich: Tallow is a rich source of vitamins A, D, E, and K, which can help to support healthy skin function and reduce inflammation.
5. Non-comedogenic: Tallow is non-comedogenic, which means it does not clog pores. This can help to prevent the formation of acne.
If you're new to using tallow, remember to use a dime size (or less) amount of tallow for your skin, so that acne prone skin can acclimate to a new product. A little goes a long way!
