I am Tami, the founder of Taddos Tallow, and I used to suffer from hormonal skin changes like itchy and painful eczema that kept me from doing the things I wanted to do and living life to the fullest.
In my search for a clean yet effective solution for my eczema and sensitized skin from cancer treatments, I stumbled upon the miraculous benefits of Tallow.
(I am getting a little personal today). Tallow is truly a miracle ingredient, with natural antimicrobial and ultra-nourishing benefits that helped me greatly with my skin health during menopause, cancer, and eczema.
Shortly after discovering tallow for my eczema, I started to see some hormonal skin shifts, also my body and mind were changing. ‘They’ - professional people who study for years- call it perimenopause…ugh. I feel like no one tells you how hard managing menopause skin symptoms can be.
During this time I brought on to my brand a skincare expert, licensed esthetician, and beauty entrepreneur of 18 years, and she started bringing up how perfect tallow is for navigating menopause skin transformation.
I still remember with joy how grateful I was to have one less worry during this time of figuring out my new skin and menopause connection. Here is a simple list of facts and tips from Jen, my in-house beauty expert, on how your skin is aging during menopause and how Tallow is will be your go-to for years and years to come:
We Love Estrogen In the skin, estrogen plays a critical role in maintaining hydration and elasticity- which means it helps us not look like alligators. Unfortunately, those estrogen levels go up and down throughout the years and cause big changes in our skin. Peri-menopause and menopause phrases cause large drops in estrogen levels, which makes our sebaceous glands (our oil producers) become less active and TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss) increases, making our skin less capable of retaining moisture. Menopause Skin Dryness is One of the Main Problems to Prevent.
Because of these factors, our skin is more susceptible to irritation and you may have menopause-related acne as redness, breakouts, and skin sagging. But, let’s be positive here! Because nature knows best, it has given us the tools to keep our body and skin happy, we just need to do the research and use the right natural ingredients to keep us peppy! Here is where Tallow comes in, this amazing natural ingredient that is loaded with fatty acids, vitamins A, D, K, and E, and trace minerals your skin craves (especially when facing all these new menopause skin symptoms).
How can Tallow help you navigate the menopause skin transformation?
It’s Bio-Identical to Skin
Tallow is bio-identical to our skin, meaning our skin recognizes its composition, allowing for optimal absorption. The essential fatty acids in tallow, such as oleic acid and stearic acid, act as a natural protective barrier, preventing moisture loss. Oleic acid, comprising over 40% of tallow's fatty acid composition, aids in repairing, calming, and balancing the skin's sebum production. All this is great for looking after our skin health during menopause.
Antioxidant Power
Vitamins A, D, K, and E in tallow are potent antioxidants, empowering our cells to regain strength and protecting them from weakening due to a loss in our naturally protective barrier (sebum). The result? Less redness, fewer breakouts, less irritation, and less menopause skin dryness.
Navigating your menopause skin symptoms requires a skincare ally that understands and supports your skin's unique needs. Tallow, with its bio-identical composition and nutrient-rich profile, emerges as the go-to solution for maintaining radiant and resilient skin throughout the years. Understanding the new skin and menopause connection during this time is what you need to glow. Embrace the menopause skin transformation with confidence and let Taddo's Tallow be your trusted companion on this transformative journey. Check out our whole 100% tallow-based skincare line here.
