INSIGHT

Daily Chemical Overload On Skin

  • The average woman applies about 114 chemicals to her skin before breakfast, increasing toxic load and hormone disruption.
  • Bethany McDaniel warns these exposures can affect estrogen, cortisol, and thyroid function and accelerate aging.
ADVICE

Use Tallow For Deep Nourishment

  • Use grass-fed tallow-based moisturizers because tallow's fatty acid profile closely matches human sebum.
  • Pair tallow with low-comedogenic carrier oils and essential oils for better absorption and healing.
