Beef Tallow for Acne: NewBeauty Asks Dr. Green

Trends come and go fast in these days of social media, especially TikTok.  Dr. Green was asked about one of the recent trends out there in “What Is Beef Tallow and Why Are People Slathering It on Acne?”  The concern however is the oil present in this.  “For acne-prone individuals, this could exacerbate their condition,” warns Dr. Green.

She also notes that using this could actually make things worse with the ingredients clogging your pores.  “While beef tallow can create a protective barrier on the skin, that same barrier can trap oils and bacteria, leading to clogged pores and worsening acne.”

The article does recommend some alternate products instead and in all cases, patch test first and consult with your dermatologist when using/changing to a new product.
