With long summer days come endless hours in the sun. Additional to vitamin D, the sun provides us with so many health benefits, but too many hours unprotected outdoors can lead to sun-damaged skin, including dryness, wrinkles, discoloration, and premature aging.
While many skincare products aim to address these skin concerns, tallow is a natural alternative to treating sun-damaged skin and can greatly assist in repairing and rehydrating the skin.
Here's how tallow can treat sun damaged skin:
Moisture Restoration
Sun exposure can deplete the skin's moisture levels, leading to dryness and flakiness. Tallow's emollient properties deeply penetrate the skin, restoring moisture and aiding in skin hydration.
Rich Nutrient Content
Vitamins A, D, and E present in tallow offers antioxidant protection against free radicals generated by UV exposure. These antioxidants assist in neutralising oxidative stress, thereby supporting the skin's natural repair process.
Skin Barrier Repair
Sun damage can compromise the skin's protective barrier. Tallow contains fatty acids that support the skin's barrier function, aiding in repairing and strengthening the skin's natural defenses.
Reducing Inflammation
Tallow's anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe sun-damaged skin, reducing redness and inflammation caused by UV exposure.
Promoting Skin Regeneration
The nutrients in tallow can assist in promoting cell turnover and collagen production, contributing to skin regeneration and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles caused by sun-damage.
