I, myself, have been searching for more natural solution to my skin concerns, as chemicals just aren't the way forward for me. So, after coming across Bohemia Natura Cosmetics, a Czech family owned brand established in 1991, (they're such genuine people, you guys) I was dying to try some of their goodies.
I was kindly sent a few products (and a heap of extra samples) for consideration here on the blog and I'm delighted to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying my experience with them. There's a very wide variety of products available for everyone on their website; no matter what skin type you have, there's definitely something for you.
My skin is rather dry and dull at times, and I occasionally acquire dark spots that need fading; for those of you with similar skin problems, all of the following products are likely to work for you.
Peeling - £8.00
A special cosmetic product formulated to remove necrotic cells.
Starting with my favourite of the four, this 'peeling' is such a wonderful product for exfoliating the skin, leaving it baby soft and squeaky clean everytime. The miniscule grains that are actually doing the exfoliating are the perfect size, as they gently scrub away the imperfections without harming or breaking the flesh. I use this about twice per week (which is very sufficient to be honest) and no more, in order to give my face some time to calm down from the abrasion.
Depigmentation Cream - £17.00
Skin cream specially developed for skin tending to produce pigment spots. Affects pigment spots originating due to hormonal changes, impact of intense solar radiation and aging.
Now, I know what you're thinking so, don't worry, this is not a skin bleaching product. You guys know that I'm always the first person to denounce and expose brands that have the audacity to bring out creams of that nature (yes, that's you, "Whitenicious") but here, all we have is a poorly named dark spot treatment. However, despite the off putting title, the actual product works wonders, and has impressed me ten times more than I ever imagined it would.
I've been breaking out slightly lately (I'm going to pin the blame on the "changing weather", but it's most likely the chocolate) and, due to the simple equation 'breakout = dark spots', I've had a lot more pigmentation than normal. This cream after being applied to the affected areas, takes effect pretty much overnight, meaning that I don't have to feel self conscious for very long at all.
Moisturising Cream with Lavender - £5.00 (on sale)
A gentle, easily absorbable cream based on liquid crystals, containing a natural essential oil made with lavender from Provence that is perfect for relaxing and calming the mind and for soothing tired skin. This specific complex of active substances provides a high level of skin hydration.
Although this product wasn't one discussed originally, I loved this surprise and was incredibly grateful to have received it, as I'm rapidly running out of my regular moisturiser. I'm a big fan of this particular cream: it smells so delicious (Lavender is one of my favourite flowers so I was seriously chuffed!) and really hydrating. It's not overly heavy either, making it ideal for either day or night usage. I highly recommend this one!
For the final product within this brand focus, we have the two phase makeup removal emulsion. It's fabulous timing that I received a makeup remover just as we're approaching summer - this is the time period in which a majority of the parties and celebrations begin! Therefore, due to the theory 'party = caked face', I really needed this and, needless to say, it's definitely a keeper.
This makeup remover is so effective when it comes to removing stubborn wings and shadows; just give it a little shake and you're ready to rock! It, for sure, beats my regular micellar water and it could be better than yours. So, don't hesitate to give it a try.

Overall, my experience (so far) with Bohemia Natura Cosmetics has been more than pleasant: each and every product exceeded my expectations and that fact that they've made a huge effort to include natural ingredients really impresses me. They have, for sure, earned my approval. Go ahead and follow @bohemia_n_cosmetics on 'The Gram' (my attempt at being urban) for some more beautiful products on your timeline!

Your pictures are so pretty! Very nice way of showing the natural theme :) I've never tried these products but will definitely consider them in the future! It's always better to go with natural over things that are full of unnecessary chemicals.

I've never heard of the brand until seeing your post. I've definitely become more conscious of the products I'm using on skin and love trying out new natural skin care recipes or products. I'll check out their site. Lovely post.

Awesome post. Looks like you had a lot of fun testing all of these products. I'd love to try the pigmentation product. I feel it would give my face a nice even skin tone.

I'm a fan of natural products too. In every section not only skin care. Though you made me curious about these products cause they look really good, and are in a really good price. Question: The makeup remover is also for the eyes? cause I got very sensitive skin there, and i'm looking for a light and natural eye-makeup remover.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for reading Apostolla! So glad you're curious! xx The makeup remover, for me, is perfectly usable on the eyes - it's not caused me any pain at all when removing my eye makeup. Don't worry, I, too, have sensitive under eyes but this doesn't seem to irritate. xx
DeleteLots of love,
Marina Rosie xx
Natural is the way to go ins't it? I prefer the totally natural way but these looks nice!
ReplyDeleteYes, I don't think I'm ready to go completely and utterly raw but these are a good start for me!
DeleteLots of love,

with natural skin care products, you'll have the peace of mind while using because it doesn't have harmful chemicals which can cause harm to your body
ReplyDeleteThat's 100% true Arra, and there's a lot less chance that you'll get a breakout! xx

Skincare is so important, especially as we age. Here in the states we don't have many natural options, and if you can find them they are seriously EXPENSIVE. Thanks for turning me on to a new company!
ReplyDelete100% Evy, skincare is the foundation of having a good and healthy complexion - I love it! x
DeleteYes, I realise that there are, of course, a lot of rather pricey skincare brands, so I was excited to find that this one was really affordable! Thanks so much for reading! x

I have been using chemical free products for some years now but have struggled to find a pigmentation cream that works. So wow, I'm impressed with your review of Ryor. It sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt is honestly amazing Tania - I do get a lot of dark spots from acne and it had cleared the majority right up! xx
DeleteLots of love,
Marina Rosie xx
I do love to use natural products on my skin where possible. This brand is new to me but they sound interesting and I'm pleased to hear they were better than you expected them to be.
ReplyDeleteThat's really positive Mel - fit in as many natural products as you can! This is a great brand to try out! xx
DeleteLots of love,

The two phase make up emulsion sounds amazing especially since my skin is in serious need of some TLC. I am having break out problems right now x
ReplyDeleteIt's really good Ana, I'd go for it if I were you! Don't worry girl, my skin is a little manky at the moment too to be honest! x
DeleteLots of love,
Marina Rosie xx
I am glad I am not the only one lol. Luckily my skin has cleared up but it is a little patchy. Is it cruelty free by the way? x
DeleteDon't worry Ana, you'll never be alone when it comes to skin issues - I have plenty! x So glad it's cleared up - come to think of it, mine had cleared up and I was so happy for the past 3-4 days but I woke up this morning with 3 craters on my face! x and yes, it is cruelty free hun x

Never heard of this brand before, but I love the bottle packaging. Lovely flowers! I prefer natural products because my skin is sensitive. http://www.clairebearblogs.com
ReplyDeleteYess, the flowers are stunning! Originally, I wanted to photograph these next to a flower that looked pretty similar but it wilted before I got the chance. Smh. xx I imagine these would be good for sensitive skin due to the lack of excessive ingredients!

I admit skin care is something I took for granted, but lately I've been into it. And this brand intrigues me since it's all natural product. I wonder if it's available in Asia?
ReplyDeleteSo glad you've gotten into it - the only way is forward from now, no matter how much you ignored skincare in the past! x I don't think they do sell this product in Asia, unfortunately, but I do reckon they'll be other stockist or boutiques that ship worldwide selling these!
DeleteLots of love,
Marina Rosie xx
I never heard about this brand and I really like the thing that these are all natural and I love natural products. Thanks for reviewing the product am surely gonna check them out
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for reading lovely, so glad you're super into natural products! This would fit in nicely with your collection then! x

I haven't heard of these products before. Although generally this isn't something I would wear but I like knowing about these kinds of things for my daughter. I do believe in natural products though. Much better for you.
ReplyDeleteAwe, I bet your daughter is very much into skincare and makeup like me! Teenagers eh!? All jokes aside, natural is always the best way to go! x

ooo it is interesting to see a cosmetics firm from my country to be expanding over the boarders ;). Ryor was one of the first cosmetics brands I have been using when I started to care about my face, I really like it and even now, like 15 years later I still buy some of their products.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to find a Czech person is reading my blog! How wonderful! xx They are a wonderful brand, aren't they!? I wish I'd have known about them sooner! x
DeleteLots of love,

I always prefer natural products. Especially when it comes to food. I don't use many cosmetics.
ReplyDeleteAh, you're right! Natural is lovely outside of the body but it's also great to go natural inside too! I only ever eat natural, raw and organic honey and peanut butter for that reason! x

I have been in the market for trying out a new makeup remover. I am geared to trying a natural product in order to stay away from toxins.
ReplyDeleteYess Kathryn - give the micellar water a miss and go for this! You won't regret it - it literally dissolves my makeup! xx
DeleteLots of love,

I always look forward to learning more about products that are natural, organic, or free from chemicals. It's so much better for our skin! This sounds like a lovely brand!
ReplyDeleteThis is, for sure, a wonderful brand for any natural products Carol - I highly recommend them! xx
DeleteLots of love,

Natural cosmetics is the ones i love to used nowadays. They are so much better for our skins than too many chemicals. People easily say that natural and organic products are so expensive but not always - like these ones you introduced.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for reading Tiina! It's fab that you're into natural cosmetics too - the benefits are endless! x Yes, these ones are incredibly affordable compared to some others on the market! x

I've been reading about products like Peeling and would love to give them a try. I'm awful about exfoliating and after I turned 40, everything seems to show a lot more. Thanks for letting us know about this great brand .. I'll be keeping an eye out for more of their products!
ReplyDeleteHey Alison, thanks so much for reading again! x Just to let you know, you still look wonderful, so I wouldn't worry about 'turning 40'! x Exfoliating is always good though - I love how smooth it makes my skin. x

Thanks for sharing your first hand experience with theses natural products Marina. I would be interested to know whether these products are tested on animals. I also like the smell of lavender for the relaxing and calming effect it has. Is it just the scent that's used or is the oil in the moisturiser also derived from lavender?
ReplyDeleteBridget.
Hey there, thanks for reading and leaving your questions - I'm always happy to answer them! xx This brand is cruelty free, which is, of course, a huge positive. And yes, the moisturiser does contain lavender for moisturising as well as adding scent! x

We live in times that chemicals are everywhere - in our food, water, air and cosmetics. That's why I am always on the lookout for natural products. I don't want to poison my body more than it is necessary.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with Korean brands like Missha, Mizon, Nature Republic, Skin79. They produce great creams, lotions and serums.
I've never heard of the brand You mention in the post. I will definitely try some of their cosmetics if I can get my hands on them. Great review by the way!

I love everything you've said here Kate - you're 100% spot on about the fact that there are chemically all around us! Yes, I've started to get into more natural K beauty brands too but Ryor will always have a specially place in my heart - their products are stunning and definitely worth checking out! x
