Foreue – Natural Skin Care (Handmade & Vegan)

One of the most important ingredients in most natural beauty products and natural beauty cosmetics is something that we use every day. Its also something that we get virtually for free.  It is often considered a natural resource. I am talking about water (H20). Even though a good portion of our bodies contain water, we still need to replenish it. Water is important to drink (at least eight glasses a day), and its also a key ingredient in a lot of natural beauty products.

Many women and men endure skincare challenges. My husband is a good example of what  many can experience when they transition from a strategically annihilating diet (S.A.D.) and unhealthy toxic lifestyle to one that is healthy and organic.

He was raised on a S.A.D. Diet and used mainstream toxic chemically laden personal care products from early childhood until early adulthood. He often felt bad physically and his skin was very vulnerable to acne breakouts and skin blemishes. He had a very rough time and he didn’t know what to use. He was often so desperate for a solution, that he’d resort to using a popular mainstream product, laden with toxic chemicals and advertised as being effective and healthy, and one of the professional skin care products.

There are some very simple, easy ways to keep your skin beautiful, healthy, and young. It’s been said that “you are what you eat” and it’s true. Eating healthy, organic, whole, plant-based foods and using only organic skincare products will go a long way to keeping you feeling good, and looking vibrant.

A healthy, green, organic diet and lifestyle will contribute.  Using natural organic skincare products and haircare products that contain plant essences is very helpful. Wrinkles, spots, blemishes, and discoloration may be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, erratic weather, and excessive sun exposure.

So you want to start making your own vegan homemade skin care products, how do you start?  Its not really that hard, just simply do your research on not only actual recipes, but the benefits of certain natural or organic plants. You cannot just take a salad and throw it in the blender and expect to make, let’s say, an exfoiliant scrub. Here are some tips and ideas to get you started in your kitchen beauty lab with homemade skin care products.

Whether your vegan, vegetarian, or thinking about becoming one,  knowledge is power. While vegetarians and vegans are more and more commonplace, it’s not a movement that has gone completely mainstream yet.

Often, it can be hard to find products or information that will help better your health and the environment.  But thanks to the world wide web, you can find a lot of information, publications, stores, and so much more. Listed here is the best of the vegetarian/vegan web of vegetarian friendly websites.

If you’re just discovering the importance of natural true beauty skin care products and cosmetics, you probably have a lot of questions. One of the most important questions to help you get started is to clear up the difference between  natural, organic, and vegan skin care products.  You can walk into a natural food or beauty shop and find an array of products that claim to be natural, organic, or vegan- it seems that people automatically assume these three things are the same thing, but that is not the case. Read on to find out the difference between these labels.

Its no secret that you should use natural beauty cosmetics and handmade skin care products simply because they are healthier for both you and the environment. And despite the fact cosmetic companies and FDA claims that these mainstream products are completely safe to use, many scientists have discovered that these products do contain harmful chemicals, and that over time, the use of such products could harm us. So it comes as no surprise that many companies try to create all natural cosmetics, some are truly natural beauty cosmetics, but others are not. So here is a list of ten chemicals to avoid, when out shopping for all natural cosmetics-

The Industrial Revolution has complicated life for many people, especially with consumable products.  The 21st Century has made it even more complicated.  In order to stay healthy and protect your loved ones from unhealthy toxicity, it is wise to ensure that everything you eat, drink, bathe in and use for beauty and self-improvement are non-toxic, organic, and healthy.

Your safest choice is to shop in an organic natural store.  Unfortunately, the majority of the products that are sold in mainstream stores are potentially toxic and laden with petro-chemicals and lung irritants.  All these toxic ingredients contain potentially harmful synthetic ingredients.

An endless selection of personal care and cosmetics on the store shelf can be very confusing.  One common confusion is understanding the difference between organic and natural and vegan.

Organic is a wonderful way of living your life in the most natural manner possible, completely free of toxic chemicals and damaging irritants. Anything that is grown and processed organically is done so without the use of harmful environmentally polluting petro-chemicals.  Petro-chemicals are derived from petroleum.  Common soothing organic natural skin care ingredients are lemongrass, peppermint, lavender, coconut oil, sandalwood, patchouli, and aloe vera.  These natural botanicals are especially safe and healing; if they are grown free of synthetic petro-chemical pesticides.

I love cosmetics and skin care products- but I really prefer to use vegan or all natural skin care products instead of the cosmetics being tested on animals. Every year, companies(including cosmetic companies that produce beauty skin care products) injure and kill animals by making them ingest harmful chemicals, inhale harmful aerosol sprays,  among other ways.  Also, cosmetics being tested on animals are not necessarily good for people as animals have different body chemistry than humans; what could harm an animal might not hurt us and vice versa. Either way, animal testing is wrong, and I won’t partake in it. Now here is how to make sure that you buy natural or vegan products and cosmetics.

Even if you are not a vegan, you should at least think about using vegan skin and organic skincare products.

If you’ve ever read behind a bottle of lotion, chances are you’ve noticed a long list of chemicals that you may not be familiar with.  And many of these chemicals and synthetic products have harmful effects after years of use.  Some of these mainstream cosmetics may also cause skin irritation and even allergic reactions. Here are a few more reasons to make the switch organic skincare products that help you achieve vegan skin.
