The Complete Cherish Skincare Routine: A Holistic RN's Guide to Grass-Fed Tallow

The Complete Cherish Skincare Routine: A Holistic RN's Guide to Grass-Fed Tallow

Let me tell you why I created the Cherish collection — and why it works when so many other products don't.

As a holistic RN with over 30 years in healthcare, I've spent decades watching people cycle through expensive treatments, harsh prescriptions, and synthetic skincare that promised results but delivered frustration. I saw it professionally, and I lived it personally when my husband John and our daughter both struggled with severe cystic acne and deep scarring that nothing — not dermatologists, not prescriptions, not high-end products — could fix.

That's when I went back to the fundamentals of skin barrier science and created something different. Something that would actually work. The Cherish collection is built around grass-fed tallow because your skin recognizes and uses these bioidentical nutrients in ways synthetic ingredients simply can't replicate.

The result? John's skin cleared. Our daughter's active breakouts resolved, and the scarring — the kind that prescriptions never touched — began to fade. That's not marketing. That's what happened in my own home, and it's why I'm so selective about what goes into every Cherish formula.

Why Grass-Fed Tallow Works: The Science Behind Cherish

Grass-fed tallow isn't a trend — it's a return to what skin has always needed. It's packed with fat-soluble vitamins and fatty acids that are bioidentical to your skin's natural sebum:

• Vitamin A (Retinol): Supports natural cell turnover and skin repair without the irritation of synthetic retinoids
• Vitamin D: Essential for barrier function and healing
• Vitamin E: Antioxidant protection that calms inflammation
• Vitamin K: Supports healing and reduces the appearance of scarring
• CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid): Anti-inflammatory properties that address reactive, sensitized skin

Your skin doesn't have to "figure out" what to do with these nutrients. It already knows. That's the Cherish difference.

Who Cherish Is For

I created this line for anyone who's been let down by conventional skincare — especially if you're dealing with:

• Cystic acne and acne scarring
• Sensitive skin that reacts to everything
• Eczema and rosacea
• Postpartum skin changes
• Any skin that needs real healing, not just temporary fixes

If you've tried everything else without success, this is where you start.

The Complete Cherish Routine: Step by Step

Step 1: Cleanse (Evening Only)

Start your evening routine with the right cleanser for your skin:

• Cherish Acne Cleanser — Formulated for active breakouts and congested skin. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, effective enough to make a difference.
• Cherish Normal Cleanser — For normal to mature skin seeking nourishment without stripping.

Pro tip from your holistic RN: In the morning, just rinse with water. Over-cleansing disrupts your skin barrier and can trigger more reactivity.

Step 2: Balance with a Cherish Toner

Toners prep your skin to absorb the active ingredients that follow. Choose based on your primary concern:

• Cherish Calming Toner — For reactive, sensitized, or acne-prone skin
• Cherish Vit C Toner — For brightening, evening tone, and supporting collagen over time

Step 3: Target with Cherish Serum

The Cherish Anti-Aging Serum delivers concentrated antioxidants — Vitamins C, E, A, B3, and CoQ10 — plus a plant-derived AHA complex and Hyaluronic Acid. This isn't just for aging skin. It's for anyone who wants smoother texture, more even tone, and support for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Apply a pea-sized amount to damp skin after your toner. Let it absorb for about a minute before moving to the next step.

Step 4: Nourish with Cherish Beauty Oil

The Cherish Beauty Oil is where the real transformation happens. This lightweight blend penetrates deeply to support healing from within — it's what helped fade the scarring that nothing else could touch.

Press 2-3 drops into your skin while it's still slightly damp from your serum. Your skin will drink it in.

Step 5: Seal with a Cherish Moisturizer

Lock in all that nourishment with the right moisturizer for your skin type:

• Cherish Acne Moisturizer — Lightweight, non-comedogenic, formulated specifically for breakout-prone skin
• Cherish Day Time Moisturizer — Rich, nourishing, perfect for normal to dry or mature skin

Step 6: Don't Forget Your Eyes

A small dab of Cherish Beauty Oil around the eye area works beautifully. The arnica oil helps with puffiness and dark circles, and the lightweight texture won't migrate into your eyes.

Step 7: Protect During the Day

Always finish your morning routine with a clean, mineral-based SPF. Your healing skin needs protection, especially if you're using active ingredients like Vitamin C or natural retinol.

What You Won't Find in Cherish Products

After watching my family struggle with harsh treatments, I made sure every Cherish formula is free from:

• Synthetic fragrances that trigger reactions
• Harsh preservatives like parabens
• Petroleum-derived ingredients that clog pores
• Aggressive acids that compromise your skin barrier
• Endocrine disruptors

What to Expect

Give your skin 2-4 weeks to adjust and respond. Meaningful change takes time — your skin is rebuilding, not just reacting. You're nourishing it with bioidentical nutrients it recognizes and can actually use, not masking symptoms with synthetic quick fixes.

If my family's skin transformed with Cherish after years of frustration, yours deserves the same chance.
