Foreue – Natural Skin Care (Handmade & Vegan)

I believed in the myth that oil was bad for our faces, especially in areas that were already oily (e.g. the T-Zone of forehead, nose and chin). I’m happy to report that I have been proven wrong by Replenish Moisturizing Serum.

Through Replenish, I have become a convert in the use of oil on my face. My previous images of oily skin being doused with more oil until the point it can’t breathe haunted me. That old belief had to go!

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.

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 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.

For centuries, natives of India and the Pacific Islands have been noted for their beautifully thick, long hair and glowing skin. What’s their secret?It’s definitely in their diet. It’s definitely on their bodies. It’s definitely the humble coconut.Coconut meat and especially the extra virgin coconut oil are the champions of beauty products.

We take at least 3 meals a day to feed our bodies with food that is wholesome, nourishing and lovingly prepared. Why shouldn’t we do the same with our skin, and feed our skin with the best skin food, more than once a day?

Be it myth, be it limitation on time, be it simple misconception. The largest organ in our body, our skin, has the awesome job of regulating body temperature, eliminating toxins, insulating against disease, etc. For all the good that it does, doesn’t it also deserve some the best skin food, several times a day?

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.

5 Reasons Why You Should Put Lotion On Your Hands Throughout the Day

• Harsh chemicals found in commercial soap (aka work bathroom) strip away moisture, leaving hands dry and cracked. Natural, vegan herbal lotions for hands and oils can replenish the natural oils lost from skin and nails.
• Harsh chemicals in any commercial soap can irritate already broken skin (eg cuticles, hangnails, cuts, etc) Herbal lotions that contain tea tree or neem with sage or rosemary are naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial.

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.
