i haven’t dyed my hair or painted my nails in almost 3 years, and both have never looked and felt better.

after almost two months without makeup, i put some on and my skin felt and looked DEAD the day after.

so, i’ve been looking for natural, non-toxic alternatives to makeup, but they’re almost nonexistent!!

all of this makes me wonder how fucked up the beauty industry really is, and how many women out there are unknowingly putting poison on their bodies for beauty— er, high-time preference beauty.

Beef tallow is the base for the creams I've made for my wife. I mix in some MCT oil to soften the tallow, a little beeswax & some essential oils for smell.

She loves them & I love her face not being covered in toxic crap.

oo interesting, the tallow isn’t too heavy for her skin? how was the transitioning from “regular” skincare to tallow? i had a few breakouts when i switched to all natural skincare, but i think that’s because my skin was detoxifying

Tallow is amazing for the skin but a little goes a long way. The tallow soaks in pretty quickly but the beeswax leaves a thin barrier (she swims in chlorinated pools).

She didn't have any breakouts but she's never really been a huge wearer of makeup. She has some sunscreen & skin cream that I picked up from nostr:nprofile1qqs9w9hjtk0ltx3utuxqev5l0e5wjyqqu2ahjujxx3r29cmxywpn30spr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9udvacfv & she loves it too.

I’ve never been one to wear make up either, nor sunscreen, probably should’ve worn a hat more often though (my face is definitely older than I 🤩).

Not sure if it’s the tallow butters or my change in everything since BTC but the kids compliment my skin now (my family are not big on compliments 🤪🤣)

I have now even stopped using shampoo and conditioner, use our Tallow soap and some vinegar, my hair is now stronger and longer 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Lol I still don't put it on my face 🤣

I probably should. I think plenty of fatty red meat is good for the hair, nails & skin.

Collagen & cholesterol baby!

My main diet , 🤩, so probably mainly that and a bit of the tallow butter 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good step for women. Stopping shaving is the big step most women won't take, and it's 100% due to brainwashing of both men and women

this is something i think about almost every time i shave 😂

it’s interesting how men have been made to prefer hairless women. women without hair are just children! i mean, just like men, hair is supposed to show fertility 🫢

however, the just-shaved-legs feel is what keeps me on the bandwagon. it’s just so soft.

on the other side, i have gone months where i didn’t shave my armpits and interestingly, i felt cleaner and smelled better 😂😭

Exactly right, shaving is related to pedophilia.

Love this as I am in the same boat! If you one day crave a good eyeliner/smokey eye, burn the tip of an almond and work it like a pencil. You can make beautiful pigments from ground dried fruits and veggies to use as eye shadow / blush, then add a little coconut oil if you want to turn their colors into a lip gloss. 💜

My turning point was an allergic reaction to formaldehyde in nail polish about a decade back. 🤢

thank you for the tips! i have heard of the almond trick! if you have made a tutorial or seen one, pls send!! :)

i also read that beet juice w shea butter is a nice lip tint and blush

Organic tallow for moisturizer.
