What first got you into tallow?

For me, it was my skin issues --- for 15+ years I had oily skin in my T-zone and dry, flaky patches everywhere else (chin, around nose, ears). Tried countless products, even prescription steroids from a dermatologist. They helped temporarily, but I felt like my skin became more sensitive over time.

​

My spouse convinced me to try tallow. I thought it sounded ridiculous, but within a few weeks my skin started feeling more balanced. Less oil, less dryness, fewer flakes.

Now I mostly just use a little tallow cream and a little MCT oil on stubborn spots. Simplest routine I've ever had, and my skin's been happier than ever
