Homemade Beauty Products

Homemade Beauty Products for fresh feeling: You don't have to spend big bucks on expensive beauty products. Just make them yourself, with stuff from the kitchen.

"There are some crazy things that you read in magazines and there are some things that really work," PrettyCity.com CEO Carolyn Brundage said.

Like using Vaseline to shape your brows or applying it to the ends of your lashes to keep them from breaking.

Brundage also recommends diaper rash cream for acne breakouts.

"You've already got this at home. A lot of moms do," she said. "This is actually really effective for treating blemishes or pimples because its chock full of zinc oxide."

Brundage also said if your elbows, knees and feet are dry, head to the kitchen, slice a lemon and then sweeten it up.

"You just apply a little bit of brown sugar to the top of the lemon and then apply it to your elbows," she said.

And find new life for your old bits of lipstick by melting them together in a microwave-safe container for 15 seconds. Mix and voila, a brand-new color.

But if you want to make your own, Brundage said beware of bad beauty ideas like Preparation H for eyes or Monistat 7 and Pepto Bismol for your face.

And if you get tired of doing it all by yourself at home alone and you want to splurge at the spa and have someone do it for you, there are plenty of places in Chicago that will do it for you.

Bonne Foi Beauty declares addition to anti-aging product line-up: Nourishing Face Cream

Bonne Foi Beauty Products, an anti-aging skin care line, today, releases its Nourishing Face Cream which will further enhance the Bonne Foi line. Created primarily for night time use, the Nourishing Face Cream will nourish, rejuvenate and moisturize your face, firming your skin and improving its overall appearance. Those with particularly dry skin or those who live in very cold climates may wish to use it as a day cream as well.

Its main ingredients include white shea butter, beeswax and seaweed extract. In clinical trials, shea butter was found to moisturize the outer layer of skin, protect against climate and UV aggressions, and prevent wrinkle formations. The seaweed extract, found in many of our products, is what helps firm skin, restore elasticity, and improves the complexion providing a more youthful skin tone.

Bonne Foi's Nourishing Face Cream does not contain any petroleum by-products or mineral oil as these ingredients can clog pores, suffocate skin, and cause premature aging.

The chemist that formulated the Nourishing Face Cream had been developing anti-aging products for more than a decade when he began developing the Bonne Foi line of products. The formula is based on the theory developed by Dr. Peter Agre, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2003 for his ground-breaking discovery of aquaporins which is used in the Bonne Foi product line. Aquaporins allow anti-aging and nourishing ingredients to penetrate skin down to the cell level.

Bonne Foi anti-aging skin care products are specially formulated to work for people of all ethnicities and on a wide variety of skin types and tones. This Nourishing Face Cream completes our night-time skin care regimen.
