The £24.99 buy is so good that her children use it too to help with acne breakouts.
Traditionally used in cooking, especially roast dinners, beef tallow is a solidified fat which surrounds the organs and internal tissues of a cow.
But away from the kitchen, it can also be found in soaps, candles and skincare.
Not only does the buy have anti-aging properties, it also helps with acne breakouts.
The Fat Cow brand, used by Lynne, promises to help customers look youthful and radiant thans to "fatty acids and antioxidants that fight aging".
It also claims to boost collagen which, in turn, firms and hydrates your face.
The natural skincare buy improves oily, combination, dry, and normal skin types.
And Lynne, who has even used it to treat sunburn, is full of praise for the wonder product.
In a recent TikTok post (@lynnelxx), she said: "Honestly, I can't rave enough about this.
"It's a strange consistency. It feels a wee bit hard [but] it just breaks away. You literally need nothing because it goes into a sort of oily consistency.

" And then I just rub it into my hands and rub it into my forehead and then a wee drop more for my neck.
"It's really good for my skin. I am 46 but I don't think I look that bad."
Lynne also shared incredible before and after pictures of daughter Sophie's skin when she used the beef tallow to help with a rash.
The stunned mum says the results could be seen in just 10 hours, with Sophie's face looking almost healed in that short time.
Speaking to Fabulous, she added: "My son used it and it cleared up his skin. He had tried all the spot products. This worked as it helps his ph balance and doesn't dry out skin.

"Then my youngest used it for contact dermatitis and my oldest daughter, only other thing that worked for her was steriod cream which you then withdraw from which is worse than the original skin condition.
"I use the body cream for my dry skin due to menopause. It's so soft, takes itchy skin away and doesn't sting. Very amazing product if I'm honest, I swear by it. All my daughters' friends are using it now."
Dr Nora Jafaar, Cosmetic Dermatology Expert, recommends using it as a night balm on clean, damp skin to lock in moisture.
Speaking to Holland and Barrett, she adds: 'Start with a pea-sized amount and warm it between your fingers.
'It's particularly good on dry and flaky skin, so if you have this skin type you might see results thanks to its barrier-supporting and soothing properties.'
