Beef Tallow Skin Care & TikTok, GQ Asks Dr. Green

If you are wondering about the recent wave of Beef Tallow skin care recommendations on TikTok, that’s because it’s been in the news a fair few times recently. GQ joined the trend and asked Dr. Michele Green “Is Beef Tallow Actually Any Good for You?”

It turns out that beef tallow has emollient properties that soften and smooth the skin somewhat, since “its fatty acids closely resemble the natural oils of the skin, allowing it to effectively replenish moisture,” she says in the article. Those with sensitive skin should also exercise caution, adds Dr. Green, as irritation, inflammation, and allergic reactions are all possible if you do use beef tallow. So you are better off using some more well vetted alternatives such as ceramides, plus hyaluronic acid and glycerin to boost your hydration.
