A content creator known as Candice revealed that she was able to get rid of her acne by using beef fat as a moisturizer.
In a video she posted on TikTok that has been viewed 6 million times, Candace's struggle began, like many of us, in adolescence, and continued for years.
She tried everything, and discovered after a few years that the "fancy products" and the "elaborate" skincare routine not only don't help, but actually worsen the skin problems she suffers from.

Although it is known that different skin types require different products for maintenance, in recent years the care routine has become simpler again, with a focus on moisture and gentler substances that do not damage the epidermal barrier.
It has already been understood that excessive washing can also cause dryness and a damaged skin barrier, as well as lead to outbreaks of various skin lesions.
Candice decided to keep things simple, and instead of using traditional cleansers to wash her face, she does something different - Candice brushes her face with a dry natural brush to exfoliate dead skin cells and get rid of them, then just rinses with lukewarm water, and applies a rich moisturizer made from beef fat.
Yes, yes, exactly like that.
