Dermatologists react to new skincare trend as people rub beef fat on their faces

Beef tallow, a moisturizer derived from cow kidney fat, is gaining popularity as a skincare alternative. Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K, it hydrates and nourishes the skin. However, its heavy consistency may clog pores, especially for oily skin types. A patch test is recommended before widespread use.
