Tallow is a natural, nourishing cream that cares for and protects your skin in a unique way. It can be used both during the day and at night and provides countless benefits thanks to its richness in vitamins and essential fatty acids. In this blog, you’ll learn how to incorporate Tallow into your skincare routine and how to care for it properly.
Day and Night: A Versatile Skincare Hero
You can use Tallow as both a day cream and a night cream. During the day, it hydrates your skin and forms a natural barrier against external influences like pollution and cold weather. At night, it deeply nourishes your skin and supports its natural repair process while you sleep.
Pro Tip: Always start with a small amount and gently massage it into your skin. Tallow naturally has the perfect consistency at room temperature, making it easy to spread and quickly absorbed.
Give Your Skin Time to Adjust
If your skin is accustomed to conventional skincare products, it may take some time to fully adjust to Tallow. This is because Tallow nourishes and hydrates your skin without stripping it of its natural oils, unlike many synthetic products.
During the first few weeks, your skin might go through a "transition" period as it adapts to this natural care. This is completely normal and a sign that your skin is adjusting. Over time, you’ll learn exactly how much cream your skin needs to stay healthy and hydrated.
How to Use Tallow With Other Products
Tallow integrates seamlessly into any skincare routine, whether you prefer a minimalist approach or a multi-step regimen.
1. Pairing With Serums:
Apply your favorite serum to freshly cleansed skin, let it absorb, and then layer a thin coat of Tallow over it. Tallow acts as a natural occlusive layer, locking in the active ingredients of the serum and enhancing its effectiveness.
2. Going All-Natural:
For a simple routine, cleanse your skin and apply Tallow directly. Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with essential fatty acids, Tallow nourishes your skin naturally. At Nana Latta, we enrich our Tallow with premium botanical extracts for added benefits.
3. Sunscreen:
After applying Tallow in the morning, follow up with your favorite sunscreen. This will protect your skin from harmful UV rays while Tallow keeps it hydrated.
4. As a Makeup Primer:
Thanks to its lightweight texture, Tallow also works wonderfully as a makeup primer. It creates a smooth, hydrated base for your makeup, helping it apply evenly and stay fresh all day
Tallow as an Eye Cream
Our unscented Tallow cream is gentle enough for the delicate skin around your eyes. Use your fingertips to dab a small amount around your eye area, and gently pat it in. It hydrates, softens fine lines, and helps reduce puffiness – all while being kind to sensitive skin.
Product Suggestions: Try our Tallow Butter Family Daisy or Tallow + Jojoba Minimalist Butter for the perfect multi-purpose cream.
For Your Body: Tallow as a Body Butter
Our Tallow body butters are ideal for nourishing your entire body. The best time to apply is right after a shower, while your skin is still damp. This locks in moisture and leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, and deeply hydrated.
How to Care for Tallow
To keep your Tallow fresh and effective, here are a few simple tips:
1. Store at Room Temperature:
Tallow has its ideal consistency at room temperature. In summer, it may become slightly softer, while in winter, it can firm up. This is completely normal and does not affect its quality or effectiveness.
2. Avoid Contact With Water:
Keep your Tallow free from water to maintain its shelf life. Always use clean, dry hands or a spatula to scoop out the product. Water can introduce bacteria and shorten the product’s lifespan.
3. Store in a Cool, Dark Place:
Keep your Tallow jar tightly closed and store it away from direct sunlight. Exposure to sunlight or heat can degrade the natural ingredients and reduce its effectiveness.
4. Keep It Sealed:
Make sure to close the lid tightly after each use to protect the product from air and moisture, helping it last longer.
