A Simple Skincare Routine You’ll Actually Stick With

Can we be honest about something? Most skincare routines are too complicated. Not because you need all those steps, but because the industry benefits from selling you 8 products instead of 2.

We’re not here to tell you everything on the shelf is bad. We’re here because we believe there’s a better way — simpler, more intentional, and built around ingredients you actually recognize. For us, that starts with tallow.

Here’s how we use our own products every day. It’s not the only way, and we’re not saying it’s the right way for everyone. It’s just what works for our families.

Why We Chose Simplicity

When we started paying attention to what was in our skincare, the ingredient lists were overwhelming. Not scary — just long. We found ourselves wondering: do we really need all of this? And if we can’t understand what half these ingredients do, how do we know they’re serving us?

We started removing products one at a time. Our skin didn’t miss most of them. What it did respond to was consistent, simple moisture from ingredients that felt familiar rather than clinical. That’s when we landed on tallow.

We’re not saying you need to throw everything away. We’re saying it might be worth questioning whether you need everything you currently use.

Our Morning Routine

Step 1: Rinse with water

Unless your skin genuinely needs a morning cleanse, water alone is often enough. It sounds too simple to work, but think about it — your skin wasn’t dirty while you slept. A gentle rinse keeps your natural oils intact rather than stripping them first thing.

Step 2: RadiantC Face Cream

While skin is still slightly damp, a small amount of RadiantC goes on the face. The rosehip oil gives it a lightweight feel, and the tallow provides moisture that lasts through the morning. It absorbs in about a minute.

Step 3: Lip Rescue

A quick swipe of our tallow lip balm. This has become a habit for both of us — it keeps our lips comfortable all day, especially in Florida’s shifting weather.

Our Evening Routine

Step 1: Gentle cleanse

At night, an actual cleanse makes sense — you’re removing sunscreen, sweat, and whatever the day left behind. We use a simple, mild cleanser. Some people in our community oil cleanse with tallow or jojoba oil, which also works well.

Step 2: Hydra Eye Cream

The skin around the eyes is thinner and tends to show dryness first. Our Hydra Eye Cream has rosehip oil and vitamin E alongside the tallow. A tiny dab on each under-eye area, tapped gently with a ring finger.

Step 3: The OG Whole-Body Tallow

This is the workhorse. Face, neck, hands, anywhere that needs moisture. At night, tallow has time to really absorb without competing with sunscreen or makeup. Many people tell us their skin feels noticeably different in the morning.

That’s It

Three products in the morning. Three in the evening. One of them is the same (The OG). Your entire skincare routine fits in a small bag with room to spare.

We know this looks too simple compared to what beauty marketing tells you a routine should be. But we’ve been doing this for a while now, and our skin has never been happier. Lots of our customers say the same thing. Fewer products, fewer questions about what’s touching your skin, less decision fatigue.

Making the Transition

If you’re currently using a lot of products, we wouldn’t suggest stopping everything at once. That’s a recipe for frustration. Instead, try this approach:

• Start by replacing your moisturizer with tallow. Keep everything else the same for a week or two. See how your skin responds.

• Then start removing products one at a time. Drop one product per week and see if your skin misses it. In many cases, it won’t.

• Give yourself grace. Your skin might go through a brief adjustment period as it gets used to a simpler routine. That’s normal. It takes a couple of weeks to settle in.

A Note on What Simplicity Isn’t

We want to be clear: choosing a simpler routine isn’t a judgment on anyone who enjoys a 10-step routine. If elaborate skincare is something you love and it works for you, that’s great. We’re not the skincare police.

What we offer is an alternative for people who want less. Less complexity, fewer ingredients, more confidence in what they’re using. If that’s you, we think you’ll like what we’ve made.
