Replying to the #NaturalSkincare tag (and not the Beef tallow tag), the best and most natural skincare (and haircare) is what your own body produces. It's a mix of oils, waxes and esthers and is produced by your own body with all the benefits of biofeedback. It goes by the (slightly unfortunate) name of *sebum*.

So best skincare is to not strip away the sebum that your body is producing to naturally protect and nourish it. Not stripping it away means not using soaps and detergents on your skin (and hair). Basically what's called 'water only'. In addition, try to keep the water cooler, because hot water also strips away the sebum more. (Cold) water only will give you naturally glowing, elastic and not dried out skin, i e youthful skin.
