What Happened When I Slathered Beef Tallow on My Skin for 7 Days
Dermatologists weigh in on the viral TikTok skincare trend
The viral skincare trend of applying beef tallow to the skin has sparked interest among dermatologists. The trend, which involves applying a mixture of tallow and other ingredients to the skin for an extended period, has been touted as a way to improve skin health. However, dermatologists have expressed concerns about the potential risks and benefits of this trend. In this paper, we examine the current state of knowledge on the topic and discuss the implications for skin health. The researchers investigated the effects of tallow application on skin health, including its potential impact on skin barrier function and inflammation. The study found that tallow application had a significant impact on skin barrier function, but the long-term effects are still unknown. Further research is needed to fully understand the benefits and risks of this trend. The authors conclude that while tallow may have some benefits for skin health, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
