Face Cream or Balm? Which Tallow Moisturizer Is Right for You

By


If your beauty bag is filled with tallow-based products, like a mineral SPF lip balm, natural deodorant, and more, you may be interested in adding a tallow face cream or balm. But what does each product do, and how do you choose which to use and when? Spoiler alert, you don’t have to choose between one or the other!

So, What’s the Difference?

There are two key differences between a face cream and a balm: their base composition and application method. 

  • Face Creams: Typically water-based. Their lighter, lotion-like consistency makes them ideal for everyday use because they absorb quickly. Others can be oil-based and still be lighter weight. Think of creams as your daily go-to, helping maintain skin elasticity and moisturize skin throughout the day.
  • Face Balms: Formulated with an oil base (like ethically sourced tallow from grass-fed cows) sans water. They’re typically thicker in consistency, creating a long-lasting protective layer that locks in moisture. Some are even thickened with beeswax for an even richer texture. This makes them ideal for nourishing dry or compromised skin or for skin slugging at night.

Quick tip: Use face creams for daily, lightweight hydration and balms for deep, restorative, or overnight treatment.

 Where Do They Fit Into Your Skincare Routine?

Both face creams and balms are essential hydration heroes in your skincare toolkit, but how you apply them matters. Here’s a breakdown of when and where to use them: 

  • Morning Routine: Designed as a daily moisturizer, face creams fit into your morning routine, delivering hydration without heaviness. A light touch of cream on the face and neck to start your day can help restore moisture throughout the day while protecting your skin barrier.
  • Night Routine: Balms, on the other hand, are typically part of your p.m. routine. Thanks to their rich, reparative, and barrier-supporting ingredients, they work in harmony with your body’s natural rejuvenation process while you sleep, making them the last step in your evening routine or as an extra layer of TLC over creams. Additionally, balms made from beef tallow for sensitive skin can be applied daily to both face and body.
