One of the questions I get asked most is:

"How do I actually use tallow in my skincare routine?"

The good news is that you don't need a complicated 10-step routine. In fact, we believe healthy skin comes from using fewer products—but choosing the right ones.

Here's the simple routine I recommend.

 

Morning Routine 

 

Step 1: Cleanse

Start with a gentle cleanser to remove sweat, oil, and overnight buildup without stripping your skin.

A healthy skin barrier begins with gentle cleansing.

Step 2: Hydrate

Mist your skin with a hydrosol while it's still slightly damp.

Hydrosols provide lightweight hydration and prepare your skin to receive your moisturizer.

Whether you choose rose, lavender, or green tea, this simple step can make a noticeable difference.

Step 3: Apply Tallow

While your skin is still damp, massage a pea-sized amount of tallow into your face and neck.

Because our tallow is rich and concentrated, a little truly goes a long way.

 

Evening Routine

 

Step 1: Cleanse

Remove sunscreen, makeup, and the day's buildup with a gentle cleanser.

Nighttime is when your skincare routine does most of its work.

Step 2: Hydrosol

Rehydrate your skin after cleansing.

Think of this as giving your skin a drink of water before sealing that hydration in.

Step 3: Tallow

Massage your tallow cream into slightly damp skin.

As you sleep, it helps support your skin barrier and leaves your skin feeling soft and nourished by morning.

Step 4: Face Oil (Optional)

If your skin feels especially dry—during winter, after spending time outdoors, or in arid climates—you can finish with a few drops of botanical face oil.

This extra step provides an additional layer of nourishment for skin that needs it.

 

Weekly Rituals

 

Healthy skin isn't just about what you do every day.

A few weekly rituals can help your tallow work even better.

Clay Mask

Use once a week to help lift excess oil and impurities before replenishing your skin with hydration and tallow.

Gentle Exfoliation

Exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and help your moisturizer absorb more evenly.

Be gentle, your skin shouldn't feel tight or irritated afterward.
