Foreue – Natural Skin Care (Handmade & Vegan)

After finishing my shower, I wanted to try the Foreue Hydrate product.  I’m highly sensitive to scents, even natural scents, so I was very cautious at first.  I’m asthmatic and chemically sensitive so I am always very careful with what I expose my nose and lungs to. I opened the container of foreue Hydrate and I reviewed the list of ingredients on the foreue website.  I was pleasantly surprised to see and smell all the lovely pleasant plant essences that the product contains.

You take care of your hair by using hair products, your face by using natural skin products, and your body by using natural body lotion, but what about your feet? Because of shoes, we often neglect the care of our feet, and that can lead to foot issues such as dry, cracked heels. One way to solve this is by wearing shoes less often, which are often suffocated in your shoes and socks all day long. And while your at it, take a day off to pamper your feet naturally. Here is a few tips to help smooth your feet.

Maintaining soft, moist, clean, shaven skin can be very challenging, especially when you’re not sure which products are safest and most effective.  It’s best to look to an organic natural living health magazine and Vegan websites for helpful information.

The biggest problem with today’s manufactured shavers is that most of them have built-in lubricants and moisturizers.  These lubricants and moisturizers are mainstream and contain potentially toxic petro-chemicals and irritants. When shaving your legs, the gentlest easiest way to shave comfortably is to use a regular non-lubricated shaver and your favorite gentle organic and/or vegan soap with plenty of lather. I personally use a non-lubricated shaver and I shave very slowly, carefully, and gently under warm water.

The day I was introduced to natural hair products helped me to become organic and aware.   A haircut became quite the educational eye opener.  As the aesthetician massaged my neck, she filled the room with healing soothing aromatherapy.  I relaxed and began to feel alive, energized, and at ease.

She and the salon owner talked to me while she cut my hair and educated me about the wonderful products.  I learned something upsetting, but it opened my eyes.  For years, I had followed my Mom’s strange ritual of applying baby oil to my face after washing it with a supposed skin-softening soap bar, and washing my hair with not natural hair care products.

Who doesn’t deserve a spa day at home? You know, taking a day off , like a Saturday or even part of the day to indulge in manicures, massages, and facials. Unfortunately most of us do not have the time and money to splurge on a indulgent day at the spa, but who says you cannot bring the spa to you at home? Not only will you save money,  the best part is that it is quite easy to find (or even make) vegan skin care products to use for your spa day. Many natural homemade soaps and products contain young living essential oils and other natural ingredients that alleviate stress and improve your skin and even recipes, like those that teach you how to make essential oils lotions. Here is a checklist of what to stock in your natural at-home spa.

Perhaps you heard stories that began with “in my day” or “when I was young” we made our own soap, clothes and food the old fashion way.  Well, life was not so modern or delightfully convenient, lightening fast or informative back then, you knew that your products had no harmful chemicals or preservatives, and that your ingredients came from nature, just like the ingredients that make up your own body.

The traditional cold pressed soap making process creates a highly effective and very efficient skin moisturizer called glycerin.  At foreue, we incorporate this process into all our soaps to produce a soft, mild soap that is both fabulously moisturizing and incredibly gentle.
