The Beginnings

Growing up in the European spa city of Karlovy Vary, known for its holistic approach to healing, I was surrounded with culture where wellness was viewed as a full-body experience. This philosophy shaped the early beginnings of Natura Culina, which began with nourishing body oils, exfoliating sugar scrubs, and gentle soaps infused with herbs. As the company evolved, my focus remained on treating the whole body until many of my loyal customers began asking for products specifically for face. I was hesitant at first but eventually expanded into facial care as you know it now. 

Debunking Skincare Myths: What Really Matters

In today's social media-driven world, where everyone shares advice on what to do and how to do it, it can feel overwhelming and confusing. It's important to remember that we're all beautifully different, and what works for one person might not work for another. Unfortunately, I see a lot of skin damage happening because of that. I always say "Trust your gut when trying new products. If your skin doesn't feel happy in the morning, it's likely because the products you are using doesn't match your skin's needs." But keep in mind that the health of your skin isn't just about products - it's also deeply connected to your lifestyle choices and habits. 

Myth 1: The more steps, the Better the Results

Many believe that a multi-step routine with endless products is the secret to healthy skin. While layering can benefit some, overloading your skin can actually disrupt skin's natural barrier, leading to various irritations. Especially in today's world, where skincare products are loaded mostly with synthetics and harmful chemicals that can eventually lead to health issues.

Truth: A simple, targeted routine focusing on hydration, nourishment, and protection is often more effective. Using minimal, high-quality products that address your skin's unique needs can make a world of difference.

Myth 2: Natural Products Aren't as Powerful as Synthetic Ones

Some think that "natural" means "gentle but ineffective" and yet, natural ingredients like rosehip see oil and chamomile have been used for centuries for their healing and protective properties.

Truth: Many natural ingredients are powerhouses of antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids that can rejuvenate and restore the skin just as well - if not better - than synthetic alternatives. It's all about sourcing and formulation, not just the label "natural".

Myth 3: You Must Have Perfect Skin to Glow

The beauty industry often pushes the idea that flawless skin equals healthy skin. But in reality, healthy is resilient, hydrated and balanced, not necessarily poreless and blemish free. 

Truth: Skincare is about supporting your skin's natural function, not chasing an impossible standard. By focusing on internal hydration, nourishing your body with balanced nutrition and maintaining consistent movement, you are laying the foundation for healthy, radiant skin. Accompany this with products that are packed with wholesome ingredients found in nature, and you have a powerful, holistic approach to achieving a lasting glow.
