The 3-Step Ancestral Skincare Flow

The 3-Step Ancestral Skincare Flow

Returning to Simplicity, Nature, and Yourself

In a world that moves fast, that asks more and gives less, we believe in slowing down.
At Tallow Essence, skincare isn’t just another step on your to-do list, it’s a moment of return.

A return to simplicity.
A return to nature.
A return to yourself.

Whether you’re massaging our Lavender Body Butter into tired legs before bed or dabbing our Frankincense, Myrrh & Lemongrass blend onto your chest in the morning sun, we see you. You’re choosing ritual over routine. And we’re honored to be part of it.

Skincare as Sacred Ground

Our ancestors didn’t have 12-step routines. They had the land. The elements. The plants. The animal fats. Skincare was intuitive. Intentional. Healing.

That’s the energy we bring to every jar.

We craft each butter by hand using time-honored ingredients like grass-fed suet tallow, jojoba oil, and pure essential oils not just because they work, but because they’ve always worked. You’re not just moisturizing, you’re connecting with something ancient.

 



The 3-Step Ancestral Skincare Flow

Ritual Rooted in Simplicity, Intuition & Nourishment

In ancient times, skincare wasn’t about trends. It was about survival, restoration, and connection to the earth. Our 3-step flow brings you back to that wisdom, no fluff, no chemicals, just deeply nourishing steps designed to support your skin and your nervous system.

Step 1: Cleanse with Intention

Use a gentle, oil-based cleanser or warm water with a soft cloth. Instead of scrubbing away the day, think of it as wiping away what no longer serves you.

  • Tip: Breathe deeply while cleansing. Feel your hands on your face. You’re grounding, not just cleaning.

Step 2: Nourish with Tallow

Warm a small amount of our Tallow Face + Body Butter between your fingers and massage it into your skin slowly. Choose the blend that speaks to you—Lavender for calm, Frankincense & Myrrh for hormonal support, or Manuka Honey for deep healing.

  • Tip: Apply in upward strokes, especially around your chest, neck, and face. This invites circulation, lymphatic flow, and a moment of self-love.

Step 3: Seal It With Stillness

Let your skin soak it in. Sit still. Place your hands on your heart or stomach. Take 3 deep, slow breaths. This final step helps your body absorb not just the nutrients but the moment.

  • Tip: Say a quiet affirmation like, “I return to myself.”
    This step is just as important as the product.

This flow is meant to feel like home.

Use it morning or night. Every day, or just when you need to come back to your body.

Because skincare isn’t just about looking good, it’s about feeling safe in your own skin.
