You finally made the leap — out with the synthetic lotions and mystery creams, and in with nature's ancient skincare secret: beef tallow. But wait... instead of glowing like a dew-kissed spring morning, your skin throws a mini rebellion. Redness? Tiny bumps? Maybe even a breakout? Don't panic. This might just be your skin purging — and it's actually a good sign.
What Is Skin Purging? Skin purging is your body's way of clearing out built-up gunk from your pores. It's often triggered when you start using products that accelerate cell turnover or support deep detoxification — like our 100% grass-fed tallow. Think of it as your skin doing some overdue spring cleaning. Old residues, toxins, and blockages start surfacing so your new, healthier skin can shine through.
Why Does Tallow Trigger Purging for Some? If you've been using conventional skincare full of synthetic emollients, preservatives, or comedogenic ingredients, your skin has probably been compensating for that chemical overload. When you switch to tallow — a bioavailable, nutrient-dense fat loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K — your skin finally starts to normalize. That can mean a short-lived adjustment phase.
How Long Does It Last? For most, skin purging resolves within 2-4 weeks. It varies depending on your skin type, your previous routine, and how "clogged up" things were before. The key is consistency and patience.
How to Support Your Skin During This Time
-
Stick with it: Switching products too frequently confuses your skin. Let tallow work its magic.
-
Hydrate & nourish: Drink plenty of water and support your skin from within with whole foods.
-
Avoid harsh exfoliants: Let your skin exfoliate naturally as it purges.
-
Simplify: Don't layer on other products. Tallow alone is often enough.
