Beef tallow is filled with healthy fats, fats that are anti-inflammatory. Plus, it can be quite moisturizing to your skin and it has a lot of healthy vitamins for your skin. So, beef tallow isn't necessarily bad for the skin, but it's also not necessarily anything that will technically deage your skin.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
