How to use
3 min read
A pea-sized amount, warmed between fingertips, covers a whole face. Using more is the single most common reason people call it heavy.
Scoop with a clean fingertip, rub it between your fingers for three or four seconds and it turns from a whip into an oil.
Press it onto the skin instead of rubbing it in. If your face still feels tacky after a minute, you used roughly twice what you needed.
Routine

Tallow goes last. Water-based serums first, then press the cream on slightly damp skin to seal everything underneath it.
Cleanse, then any water-based serum, then the cream. Nothing needs to go on top of it.
Applying it to slightly damp skin traps that water where you want it, which is why the same amount feels more hydrating at night.
Sensitive skin

If your skin reacts easily, begin with the fragrance-free jar for two weeks before trying a scented variant.
Use the unscented jar on one small area for a few nights before taking it to your whole face.
Once your skin is settled, the vanilla lavender or herb-infused jars are an easy step up.
Seasonal

A thicker layer at night, socks or cotton gloves on top. This is where a 4 oz jar earns its place.
Rough patches want occlusion more than they want a thin, even layer, so be generous here.
Cotton gloves or socks keep it on the skin instead of on your sheets, and mornings feel noticeably softer.
