I'm in love with tallow . it exceeded my expectations because originally I bought it for my face but ended up putting it all over my body and my skin has never felt so comfortable, especially my legs. There was dryness on my lower legs and I have fixed that completely by applying on damp skin twice a day. Also, it's helping my crepey thighs. I'm not seeing the crepe so much now.
I tried two tubes of that crepe cream and it looked fine for twenty minutes. This balm melts in and the forearms stay soft into the next day. Crepey is still crepey if you look close, but from across the kitchen it looks like skin again. Woody smell, not perfume, fades. I am too young for long sleeves all summer and I skipped the cardigan at church last Sunday.
The backs of my hands looked ten years older than my face. Veins, crepey, dry no matter what I put on. Two months of this at night and they are still old hands, I am 74, but they are soft and the tissue paper look is less. My daughter noticed at lunch before I said a word. Jar is little for hands and arms both, so I am on the buy two get one.
Gardening did a number on my forearms. Thin skin, crepey, and I have been in three quarter sleeves since I turned 65. After five weeks the dryness is gone and the paper lines look smoother. It will not stop a mark if I bump the dryer, I already know that. What it did is make the skin feel like skin. My sister wants a jar now.
Paid for groceries and the cashier looked at my hands, not my face. That is the part that gets me. Balm on the backs of the hands every night for a month and they are less dry, less crepey in the morning light. Not young hands. Softer hands. Scent is green and gone quick. I wish the jar was bigger.
My mother had these arms and I have them now. Tissue paper from elbow to wrist. Lotions, the arnica, nothing stuck. The tallow balm is rich and the crepey texture looks calmer when it is not flaking. Husband said my arms look better, which he never says. Small jar, I am careful with it. Smell faded and I do not mind it.
I never show my arms anymore, that was me in June. Upper arms and forearms both crepey and thin. This is thick, you warm it in your palms, and a little goes on the worst spots. Eight weeks and I wore a sleeveless top at the pool with a light cover, not because the marks stopped, they did not, but because the skin did not look dried out. First thing that stayed put.
Holding my grandson and he patted the back of my hand and said grandma your hand is scratchy. Broke my heart a little. Three weeks of this and he did not say it again. Still thin skin, still a vein or two, but not dry and crepey to the touch. I use it on my forearms too. Worth the thirty dollars to me.
I asked the dermatologist and she said thin skin, aging, keep using lotion. So I did, for years, and it was right back to crepe by lunch. This has no water in it and that is the difference I can feel. Forearms softer, the papery look less obvious in photos. Purple marks still show up if I bump something. I am not mad about that, nobody promised me otherwise on the page I read.
Wedding last month and I had the cardigan ready. Used the balm every night for six weeks before and my forearms looked moisturized enough that I left the cardigan on the chair. Crepey if you stand close. From the photos, just arms. Mild woody smell, my husband did not notice. I will keep it.
Skin on my forearms is thin and crepey and I live in long sleeves. This balm makes them softer and less flaky, I will give it that. It does not change the loose look and the purple marks come and go like always. Jar is small once you do both arms. Four stars because it helped the dryness and did not help the thing people stare at.
I got it as a gift...whipped tallow, smells like vanilla. And it’s actually extremely moisturizing. I put it on as a last step over my retinol moisturizer and in the morning my skin looks supple and clear. I was skeptical at first, but it’s proven to be effective
