Get ready to beef up your skincare routine with TikTok’s latest beauty trend: rubbing BEEF FAT all over your face! That’s right, you read that correctly. Beef fat isn’t just for cooking your favorite meals – it’s also being touted as an amazing moisturizer and acne cure.
Although technically it’s called “beef tallow,” it’s essentially rendered fat that has been cooked down to remove impurities. It’s just like lard, except it comes from cows instead of pigs. Believe it or not, people have been using it as a natural moisturizer for ages, and some beauty brands still sell it.
But what do the experts say about slathering beef fat all over your face? Well, a dermatologist weighed in, stating that it’s probably safe to try, but it wouldn’t be his first choice for treating acne or dry skin. In fact, it could even make your pores more clogged! Yikes!
Despite the warnings, fans of the trend swear by beef fat as their secret weapon in their battle against acne. So, while other skincare products might be scientifically proven to help with skin issues, sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error to discover what works best for your skin type.
So, why not give it a try? Who knows, your furry friend might even give you some extra face-licks once they smell the delicious scent of beef fat on your face. Just be sure to do a patch test before lathering it all over your skin, and maybe hold off on eating a burger beforehand. Here’s to beefing up our skincare routines!
