Supporting Your Skin During The Winter

In the winter, we often focus on the freezing temperatures outside, but the air inside our home is frequently the true culprit behind "winter skin"—that tight, itchy, and inflamed feeling.

When we seal our windows and crank up the heat, we create a stagnant environment where moisturize vanishes and pollutants pile up. Forced-air heating systems drop indoor humidity levels significantly. Plus, with less ventilation, gases from cleaning products, air fresheners, and even new furniture linger. 

These can irritate the skin surface and trigger inflammatory responses.

One way to support your skin during the winter months is by switching to tallow-based skincare products.

While most commercial lotions are water-based and evaporate quickly in dry air,

tallow-based moisturizers provide a "bio-identical" shield.

Tallow has a fatty acid profile almost identical to human sebum. Because your skin "recognizes" it, tallow absorbs deeply into the lipid barrier rather than just sitting on top.

Grass-fed tallow is naturally rich in fat-soluble vitamins that are essential for winter skin repair:

• Vitamin E: A potent antioxidant that fights the oxidative stress caused by indoor pollutants.

• Vitamin A (Retinol): Encourages cellular turnover to heal the "cracks" in your skin barrier.

• CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid): Provides powerful anti-inflammatory benefits to soothe winter redness and irritation.

Birch and Elm Naturals Tallow Balm is made in small batches using hand-rendered tallow from a local farm just up the road.

Real ingredients. Proven results.
