🌿 Listening to Your Skin: What It's Telling You & How to Respond Naturally

Your skin is talking. Are you listening?

Visible skin issues—like breakouts, dryness, eczema, or redness—aren’t random. They’re often signs that something deeper is going on internally.

At Tallowcoco, we approach skin health the same way we approach nutrition: from the root up. We believe that healthy skin is a reflection of healthy cells, and healthy cells are supported by nourishment that the body recognizes.

Let’s break down what common skin signals may mean—and how to care for them naturally:

1. Cystic Acne Along the Chin & Jawline

➡️ Likely Cause: Hormonal fluctuations

This type of breakout is often tied to your endocrine system. For many women, it worsens during certain phases of the menstrual cycle or with stress.

Your Skinfood Solution:

• Reassess your entire skincare routine. Overloading your skin with too many hormone disrupting ingredients can backfire.
  

• Simplify with gentle, bioavailable, nutrient-dense products that calm inflammation and support your skin barrier. All of our products include no hormone disrupting ingredient with just natural and bioavailable ingredients.
  

• Limit the amount of ingredients and products you use, when your skin is crying for help, less is better.
  

2. Eczema, Psoriasis, Red Bumps (Especially Behind Arms or Knees)

➡️ Likely Cause: Gut inflammation, diet triggers, or immune imbalance

These are clear signs that your body is reacting from the inside out—often due to foods or environmental stressors that inflame your gut and immune system.

Your Skinfood Solution:

• Do not use generic lotions or harsh actives on flared areas. Instead, apply My Skin’s Best Friend, formulated with the help if a Holistic Pediatrician calm and restore without irritating the most sensitive skin.
  
  Support your gut with curcumin (turmeric extract) and targeted probiotics—especially those that help rebalance gut flora and reduce bad bacteria. Try having bone broth on an empty stomach each morning to support the regrowth and strengthening of your gut lining.
  

• Consider removing common inflammatory foods (like gluten, dairy, seed oils) and watch for triggers.
  

3. Dry, Aging, or Dull Skin

➡️ Likely Cause: Nutrient depletion & lack of hydration

As we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen, fewer oils, and even fewer essential nutrients like vitamins A, E, and D. That’s why bioavailable topical nourishment becomes even more important.

Your Skinfood Solution:

• Feed your skin both inside and out.
  

• Use our Hydrated & Supple serum and Nourish & Rewind balm, loaded with bioavailable fats and antioxidants to deeply moisturize and promote elasticity.
  

• Internally, supplement with omega-3s and nutrient-dense whole foods to support skin structure and hydration from within.
  

The takeaway?
Your skin is a mirror. When you approach it through the lens of functional nutrition and bioavailable support, it begins to thrive—naturally.
