“If you can’t eat your skincare, why are you putting it on your face?” Tikkok Beauty Influencer Lauren says that before she sticks her finger into a beef jar and rubs it on her cheek.
Beef Tall – A Form provided of cow fat – the latest beauty of the Internet is hack. It is usually used in cooking to get deep frying, roasting, and your potatoes to get ultra-crapping, but now, women are also using it as an acne remedy.
“Trade-wife” affected slogan Smith helped inspire the craze when he used beef tong as the base of his homemade moisturizer, claiming that it was a miracle for his skin. Soon after, his followers were running to try the smooth base for themselves, slathing it on his skin and gaving on a clear shine.
Some have claimed that beef avoids protects the skin obstruction and can also help with acne (as an anti -inflammatory), while other products are promoting the product as a natural option for chemical serum.
However, experts are less confident about its potential benefits.
Is beef good for your skin?
Dubbed as a “miraculous skin product” by Beautytok, beef talo has become a DIY moisturizer for the continuous growing niche of organic skincare enthusiasts.
The fat provided contains some antioxidants, vitamins A, D, and K, as well as some essential fatty acids. It can help with the skin that has never been exposed to traditional skincare before or has severely impaired barrier in the skin.
“Beef Tallo contains fatty acids that help hydrate the skin, while also protecting the main obstruction of the skin,” Dr. Ross Perry Cosmedics Skin Clinic at Dr. Ross Perry said. “As a skincare product, it can actually help with the skin that is highly dry, and those who suffer from dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.”
However, talking to NBCTribaca Skin Center Dermatologist Sophie Greenberg said that beef avoids, in some cases, could cause breakouts.
“It will be smooth on your skin, but whatever is down, it will be locked in,” Greenberg said. “The best-case landscape, if you really have dry skin and need something to do something to your skin obstruction, it will be helpful.”
“This is not something I am recommending in my practice,” he said.
What is more, the National Library of Medicine’s 2024 review “Tallo, Randrade Animal Fat, and its biocomatability with skin” did not confirm the benefits of the skin and face cooking component.
Which skin type is best suited for beef legs?
Beef Tolto is very rich in amolients, which means that it is definitely best suited for very dry skin, but not for acne-prone complexes.
“When you are looking for a moisturizer, there are three categories to see,” said Dermal Therapist Jona Fleming. “These are humectants, emollients and occlusives.
“Hymetants such as hyaluronic acid attract moisture in the skin.
“Beef towel is actually heavy on amolients, as it is very rich in triglycerides (fatty lipids that are found in blood flow),” Fleming continued.
“This will be therefore some skin moisturizing benefits – perhaps even repetition benefits if you have a impaired barrier – but if you have a impaired barrier then I will be concerned about introducing foreign bacteria on the skin.”
Risk of using beef
While the chemical-based skincare is currently being displayed in favor of more “natural products”-it is important to remember that there are risk in applying cooking content directly on your skin.
After not being prepared in a sterile environment for use on the skin, beef trolows can carry bacteria, and there is a high risk of closing very quickly.
If you are going to use beef tong, Perry advised to buy it from a pharmacy instead of supermarkets. He said, “Beef Tong) can be used in small quantities on the face, but when you buy ‘beef towel’ skin products, the possibility is that it has been mixed with other skin-bursting benefits,” he said.
As a food product, the beef postpon will not be placed under appropriate conditions (eg on bathroom shelves), as it is not finalized like Bispok Skincare products.
“Keep in mind that the skin of all reacts differently to products,” Dr. Akis Natonos, the founder of Aon aesthetics and of course the health partner explained. “It can cause excess irritation or acne in others may deteriorate.
Fleming stated that dermatologically is not being tested in a controlled environment, “the beef does not either smell very well,” Flaming said.
“So I don’t think it is worth trying in my opinion.
