WE all want to stay looking young and fresh for as long as possible, but splurging on pricey creams or anti-ageing treatments isn’t always within reach for everyone.
The good news is, it’s not just about what you slather on your skin – what you put into your body matters just as much – and it doesn’t have to be costly either.
Jacquie, who is known as ‘jacquiescolostrumtips’ on TikTok, has revealed a one ingredient anti-ageing drink that is said to be better than any of the expensive creams and serums.
She explained that her father is one of the “highest paid nutritionist in California,” and that no one ever “believes him” when he says his recommendations due to how simple it is.
Talking to camera whilst cutting a kiwi up, Jacquie says: “If you drink coconut water daily, it’ll get rid of your face fat due to its high potassium content.
“Get rid of all your expensive creams, just start using beef tallow as your moisturiser.”
Experts say that beef tallow is great for skin because it’s packed with fatty acids that deeply moisturise, soothe inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier, making it helpful for dry skin and conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
It also has vitamins A, D, E, and K, which support healthy, glowing skin.
Jacquie continues: “It’s five times more effective at getting rid of acne scars than retinol.
“If you drink watermelon juice in the morning, it’ll give you more energy than actual coffee does.
“And ladies, start eating those pomegranate seeds because it’ll make your tattas less saggy and actually perkier.
“Balm tea is amazing for snatching your waste. But my favourite hack that my dad has got me on is definitely taking colostrum powder.
“Take it every single morning in my water. It doesn’t taste like anything and it keeps me deep bloated the entire day.
“Because it helps with your gut biome. It’ll clear up your skin, make your hair grow longer, your nails grow longer.
“And it’s amazing for immunity too.”
Colostrum powder, which can be bought from Amazon for £10.49 for 120 capsules, is a supplement made from the first milk produced by mammals after giving birth, usually from cows.
A study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that turmeric and curcumin may help prevent DNA damage and aid in DNA repair.
This is promising news for disease prevention and slowing the ageing process. It also:
Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is a protein that maintains the skin’s elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Turmeric helps stimulate collagen synthesis, thereby promoting firmer and more youthful skin.
Improves Skin Health: Turmeric has been shown to improve various skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and promote a clearer complexion.
It’s rich in nutrients, antibodies, and proteins to promote overall wellness including boosting the immune system and supporting gut health.
Her video gained over 3.8million views, with many people rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “Beef tallow has changed my life.”
Another commented: “The pomegranate seeds. She’s right.”
However, some beauty fans were against the beef tallow recommendation as it gave them “break outs.”
CHRISTMAS specials are always guaranteed to put us in the holiday spirit.
But with a smashing line-up of epic TV over the festive period, it can be hard to choose which show to sit down and curl up on the sofa and watch.
Fret not, TV addicts! Ahead of this year’s selection, a list of the most popular TV Christmas specials of all time has been revealed – and the choices are surprising.
With fans eagerly awaiting the return of the Gavin and Stacey finale this Christmas, you would be forgiven for assuming the fan-favourite would be number one.
In fact, taking the top spot for the most popular TV special ever is Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol.
Starring Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, this top-ranking episode sees The Doctor and Amy Pond having only one hour to save a crashing spaceship before it’s too late.
The episode aired on Christmas Day in 2010 and had over 12 million tuning in.
The US Office’s Christmas special, Christmas Party, follows closely behind in second place.
The episode, which aired back in 2005, shows Office boss Michael Scott on a mission to save the Christmas party from heading to boredom.
The special was hugely successful and had over nine million viewers and almost 160,000 searches, the third highest number of searches overall.
Taking the trophy for third place is both Christmas at Downton Abbey and Gavin and Stacey’s 2019 Christmas special, A Special Christmas.
Meanwhile Gavin and Stacey’s 2008 Christmas special was the most searched for special, with over 308,000 searches followed by Black Mirror’s White Christmas with over 208,500 searches.
Surprisingly, the Christmas special with the lowest number of worldwide searches was Friends: The One with the Girl from Poughkeepsie, despite a whopping 23 million viewers.
The research, carried out by Betway, measured each episode’s popularity by a unique index score, based on ratings on IMDb, Amazon, number of viewers (per million) and number of searches worldwide – with the lower the overall index score the higher the ranking.
If you’re after something new to watch over the upcoming Christmas period, there’s also a raft of Christmas specials being aired, such as The Good Ship Murder, Bargain Hunt and For The Love of Dogs.
Doctor Who fans are also in for another treat as BBC Two are airing a special from the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall on Christmas Eve.

TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk are all set to face off TONIGHT in what is expected to be a spine-tingling heavyweight bout – so it’s only right that each commentary team has a panel full of experts!
The Gypsy King will do everything he possibly can to get revenge in this super Saudi showdown.
Fury vs Usyk 2: Ring walk time, TV channels and undercard – all you need to know for big rematch
Usyk handed Fury his first-ever professional defeat earlier this year with a stunning split-decision win despite being taken to hospital immediately after with a suspected broken jaw.
Ukrainian powerhouse Usyk also became the first heavyweight undisputed champion this CENTURY for his troubles.
However, unlike last time, only three belts will be up for grabs as Usyk was forced to vacate the IBF title to allow mandatories to get their shot at winning it.
But one thing that hasn’t changed from the previous contest is that THREE major broadcasters will be covering the fight, and SunSport can reveal who represents each platform.
Tyson Fury‘s huge rematch against TONIGHT Oleksandr Usyk will be shown live on DAZN, TNT Sports Box Office AND Sky Sports Box Office

Darren Fletcher and Richie Woodall have been left in charge of commentary.
Ever-present Anna Woolhouse is presenting for Sky Sports.
She’ll have Johnny Nelson, Matt Christie and Dave Caldwell in the studio alongside her.
