Foreue – Natural Skin Care (Handmade & Vegan)

Are you wasting money on expensive anti-wrinkle skin creams? Stop doing that and switch to vegan natural skin treatment for treating your wrinkles, as the anti-wrinkle creams maybe delivering toxic chemicals right into your body! Most such creams contain chemicals like-

Parabens- These are artificial preservatives that affect the endocrine system.

Glyceryl Stearate- It is an emulsifier linked to reproductive and developmental problems, and increased risk of cancer.

Benzyl Alcohol- It is petroleum based solvent, also used for paints and lacquers.

Despite the fact that using more natural skin treatment products and cosmetics are in general, more safe to use, that doesn’t mean you won’t have an occasional allergy to the cosmetic. Every ingredient(natural and man-made chemicals) has the possibility of someone having an adverse reaction to it. Before you begin to use any new cosmetic or skin care product(whether homemade or not, you should do a test on a small portion of your skin and wait at least 24 hours to find out if there is a reaction or not.

I will repeat: stay hydrated. Dehydration is the number one cause of headaches and migraines, sluggishness and maybe surprisingly (perhaps not) anger. What is true for what goes in your body is also true for what goes on your skin. Is your skin hydrated enough?

A flavorful and easy addition to keep hydrated: lemon cucumber water (aka Spa Water). At a resort, you can pay up to $3 a glass (included a pretty curly straw and lemon wedge sitting on glass). The lemon cucumber water can be used in a spritzer bottle to refresh parched skin for an afternoon pick me up too.

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.

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.
