Benefits of Beef Suet Hide
Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in Boston Dr. Jaimie DeRosa told HuffPost about the various anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits of beef suet.
Its anti-inflammatory properties can provide relief from redness, irritation and acne.
“As you age, your skin produces less of certain lipids, which can lead to loss of volume, dullness and sagging, accentuating the signs of aging,” she added Dr. Deanne Mraz Robinsona board certified dermatologist and co-founder of Modern Dermatology.
“Topical lipids (or fats) can support the deeper skin structures, because they hydrate the skin and improve the skin’s barrier function.”
Beef suet contains vitamins A, D, E and K which support the anti-aging process. Antioxidants, such as omega-3 fatty acids, can fight free radicals.
Influencer Hannah Bronfman was also very enthusiastic about the benefits of this remedy against dry skin.
“My skin loves it and absorbs it right away. It’s super hydrating and seems a little greasy, but my skin literally glows in the morning,” she said Glamour.
“I also find myself using less active serums because the beef is so rich in nutrients.”
“It has replaced a lot of my skin care over the last few years. This product is so amazing, it always leaves my skin feeling hydrated and healthy,” she said.
She added that it was a “fantastic” scent with a “perfect” texture.
“My skin got SO dry after having my son and nothing seemed to penetrate and hydrate the skin until I started using this!” she said.
She added that one small jar lasted her about four months when she used it on her face twice a day.
You can also apply it as a base under your makeup without having to worry about irritation.
