With winter fast approaching, changes in the weather can wreak havoc on the skin, especially in exposed areas like the face and hands. Cold air with lower humidity cause moisture to evaporate quickly leaving it dry and flaky. Wind adds to the discomfort by striping the skin’s protective barrier, leading to redness, irritation, and sensitivity. Indoor heating and hot showers dehydrate the skin even more.
Those with chronic skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea, or are just older, can develop more serious skin issues such as cellulitis, a serious skin condition that can spread to the bloodstream. Diabetics are also at higher risk for skin issues such as fungal and bacterial infections and need to spend special attention to keeping their feet and lower legs moisturized.
If you have been waiting to try Hillview Craft Tallow Skin Cream, the wait is over. Hillview Craft Tallow Skin Cream is made with the finest ingredients in small batches. Tallow acts as a barrier to keep moisture locked in. Our tallow is grass fed, making it nutrient dense rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. These vitamins and minerals also have anti-inflammatory properties good for people who have rosacea or eczema. It is also fragrance free, so you do not have to worry about irritating your skin more. For best results, place on clean, slightly damp skin. At night, slather it on your feet and put on cotton socks.

We add another five natural ingredients to help you get the most from the tallow by adding additional nutrients to the skin cream and keeping the cream shelf stable.
Jojoba oil is a liquid wax that adds antioxidants Vitamin E and B-complex vitamins with antimicrobial and antibacterial properties and moisturizes while balancing oil production, ideal for those who have chronic skin conditions.
Rosehip oil is full of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, Vitamins A and C to help even out uneven skin tone, which is a prime issue for people with rosacea.
Honey is a critical ingredient for this wintertime hero because of its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties and cleans the pores to prevent breakouts. It also helps exfoliate away the dry flakes.
Flaxseed oil is the superstar extra ingredient because of its high alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and lignan content, supporting hydration, elasticity, and strengthens the skin barrier to help lock in moisture.
Finally, Vitamin E stabilizes the other oils so they do not go rancid. It also helps prevent oxidative stress caused by UV rays and environmental pollution which can be even stronger in the winter months due to sun reflecting off snow and road deicing chemicals in the air when the melted snow and ice evaporate.
While our grass-fed tallow cream is relatively inexpensive, you need to make other changes in your home during the winter to help avoid dry skin. Keep a humidifier in your bedroom. This will replenish the water lost when the heat runs nonstop. Try to keep showers and baths short and with lukewarm water to avoid drying out or accidentally burning your skin. While our cream does have some exfoliating properties, an exfoliating cleanser may also help speed over skin cell turnover. Gloves on your hands and a scarf over your nose and mouth when outside on super cold days will also help keep the thinner skin in these areas protected.
While staying hydrated on this inside by drinking lots of fluids is important for the internal organs, it will do nothing for your skin. Do make sure if you are drinking lots of hot tea, coffee or cocoa, that you do not burn your kips if they are cold and you are not able to judge the temperature.
While a little bit goes a long way, you might want to buy the 4 oz jar tallow so you have plenty of our light, whipped balm for your whole body. It will still last you a couple of months. If you only need it for your face, the 2 oz jar cream will last over a month.
