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.

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?

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.

Each day as my pre-teen daughter looks into the mirror, she winces at the sight of the acne populating around the tip of her nose. It’s a passage of life, I tell her calmly and sincerely. She winces even more and curses the hormones erupting through her tender skin. As the memories of my teenage years flood to me, I knowingly smile that my daughter is armed with more knowledge and insight about how to better care for her skin than I at her age.

One of the healthiest things you can do to keep yourself well is to keep your lifestyle as organic and green as possible. Your skin, the largest organ in your body, is delicate, vulnerable, and hungry and thirsty for healthy nourishment.  Therefore, it is important that you feed your vegan skin the healthiest highest quality nourishment Nature has to offer.

Olive oil. Strawberries. Sage. Lemon grass. Coconut oil. Mmmm….what taste bud doesn’t enjoy the tantalizing flavors? We can savor them in our mouths. And in our skin.

Yes, we can and are eating our soap. The epidermis (outer layer of skin) is the largest sensory organ of our body. It has the special task of communicating with our environment. It breathes, perspires, drinks and eats what we put on and in it.

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.
