How Often Should You Use Tallow On Your Face?

Applying organic grass-fed tallow on face – Hayes Meadow skincare

You can use tallow skin balm on your face every day, in the morning, evening or both. How often you apply it depends on how your skin feels, the weather and your daily routine.

There is no need to follow a rigid schedule. The aim is to keep your skin feeling comfortably moisturised, adjusting the amount and frequency to suit you.

How much tallow balm should you use?

Apply a little Hayes Meadow Day & Night Tallow Skin Balm and gently massage it into your face, paying particular attention to areas that feel dry or tight.

Warm the balm between your fingertips if needed. Use enough for your skin to feel comfortably moisturised, adding more where necessary.

Should you apply tallow balm morning and night?

You can use it at either time, or both.

In the morning, apply balm after gently cleansing your face, according to how your skin feels. Allow it to settle before applying other products.


In the evening, apply balm after cleansing, particularly if your face feels dry or tight after a day outdoors, in cold weather or in a heated indoor environment.


You can also adjust your routine throughout the year. Your skin may need more attention during colder weather or after prolonged exposure to wind.

Which tallow balm should you choose for your face?

Our Day & Night Tallow Skin Balm combines tallow with rosehip seed oil. Tallow provides the rich base, while rosehip seed oil contributes to the formulation’s softer, more spreadable texture.

If you know your skin reacts to fragrance or essential oils, unscented is the simplest place to start. Individual sensitivities vary, so no product can be guaranteed to suit everyone.

If you prefer a scented balm, choose according to your preferences and the ingredients you know suit your skin.

What about our SPF Face Sticks?

Our SPF Face Sticks are designed for convenient application throughout the day. Keep one with you so you can maintain your sun protection as you go, particularly when spending time outdoors.

Apply generously and evenly to exposed skin, and reapply regularly throughout the day.

Unlike our Day & Night Tallow Skin Balm, which you can apply according to how moisturised and comfortable your skin feels, an SPF product needs sufficient coverage to provide its stated protection.

Why does Hayes Meadow use tallow in its face balm?

Tallow provides the rich, lipid-based foundation of our balm. Combined with supporting ingredients such as rosehip seed oil, it creates an emollient formulation that helps dry-feeling skin feel softer and more comfortable.

We prepare and purify our own tallow in Devon from identified food-chain suet. This gives us direct oversight of the ingredient before it enters our skincare.

How often should you apply it?

Use your Day & Night Balm whenever your skin needs additional moisture. Morning and evening application can form a useful everyday routine, but the amount and frequency are yours to adjust.
