Tallow Balm on Your Neck and Chest

Empty Jar Guarantee — Use the whole jar. If it doesn’t help, we’ll refund you. · Handmade in the USA

The neck and chest are easy to skip. Most routines stop at the jawline, even when the skin just below feels dry or tight. A little balm and a light touch can help it feel softer and more comfortable. If you’ve already read can you use tallow balm on your face?, this picks up where it leaves off.

Why this skin needs a lighter touch

• Neck skin can be thinner and more sensitive than the skin on your face
• It has fewer oil glands, so it can feel dry
• Collars, scarves, and necklaces rub against it all day
• It sits just below your nose, so any scent stays close

How much to use

1. Start with a pea-sized amount for your neck and chest together.
2. Warm it between your fingertips until it softens and turns glossy.
3. Smooth it on gently, without rubbing or tugging.
4. Add a little more only where it still feels dry.

When to apply

• When you cleanse: use your fingertips and lukewarm water, and skip scrubbing
• After a shower: pat dry and apply while your skin is still slightly damp
• Before bed: an easy time, since collars and scarves aren’t in the way
• During the day: keep it to a thin layer
• In cold, dry weather: add a little more whenever your skin feels tight

Collars, scarves, and necklaces

• Give the balm a few minutes to soften in before you get dressed
• A thin, pressed-in layer shouldn’t leave much behind
• If you’re wearing silk or a crisp collar, apply at night instead
• Put necklaces on after the balm has settled

Essential oils on thinner skin

Essential oils can bother some people, and this area tends to be more sensitive. If you’re unsure, start with Au Naturel: just tallow and olive oil, with no essential oils or added fragrance.

If you prefer a scented jar, patch test it first. Here’s how to patch test a new skincare product.

A note on sun

Tallow balm is not a sunscreen. If your neck and chest will be out in the sun, use sunscreen as you normally would.

When to check with a dermatologist

• Dryness that doesn’t improve after a few weeks of gentle care
• Itching, redness, or a rash that lingers
• Any spot that changes or concerns you

FAQ

Can I use the same jar on my face and neck?

Yes. You can carry what’s left on your fingertips down to your neck and chest. Use a light hand on both.

Will it mark my collar?

A thin layer that’s had a few minutes to soften in shouldn’t leave much behind. If you’re worried about a favorite shirt, apply at night.

Which jar should I use?

For the rest of your routine, read the dry, cracked hands guide, or try Au Naturel.
