An interview with Miriam Gubovicova: natural cosmetics, balance and Curetik in the care of eczema-prone skin

Choosing natural cosmetics is a conscious decision. It means wanting to take care of yourself, your skin and the environment with the purest and most natural approach possible.

MaiWistik believes that skincare does not have to be complicated or artificial. It is important to us that plants, simple ingredients and the body's natural rhythm are prioritised in our products. Our  Natural Beauty Ambassadors – people for whom a natural lifestyle, conscious choices and inner balance are part of everyday life – help to spread the same message.

This time, we chatted with Miriam Gubovicova, a certified holistic nutritionist and women's health specialist. When talking to Miriam, her warm, honest and positive energy shines through even in writing. We talked about morning and evening routines, being connected with nature, choosing beauty products and which MaiWistik products have been used the most in her family.

In the interview, Miriam also shares her personal experience with Curetik ointment, which was used to care for eczema-prone skin and rashes.

1. Do you have a routine that kick-starts your day or slows down its pace?

I have both a morning and an evening routine. Honestly, mornings are a little easier to keep. In the evening, I often don't know and it's 11:30 p.m...

The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth – I also use a tongue scraper – and then meditate for 20-30 minutes. Right after that, I have to walk the dog. Most days, Andr and I do it together.

Then I come home and make my caffeine-free coffee with raw egg yolk, maple syrup, collagen and fat. This fills my stomach well. I take a shower and make the bed.

I really can't have a good day if I don't make the bed. It's weird, I know.

In the evening, we usually go for a longer walk with the dog in the neighbourhood. Either before or after that, I try to use red light therapy. I have to take a shower in the evening, otherwise I don't sleep well.

2. What makes you happy?

My partner, our dog, family - well, most of them - being in nature, good food and my work.

3. How do you maintain balance in your daily routine?

I work from home most of the time. I realised that working in an office is very stressful for me and doesn't work.

First of all, I don't like sitting in front of the computer for too long. I have to move every 20 minutes. I don't know exactly, I never pay attention, but I get up quite often.

For some reason, there's just no time to get up in the office. When I work from home, I get all my housework done between emails and calls, and I don't stress about it.

If I'm in the office all day and come back, all the cleaning, laundry and cooking are still waiting for me. It's like coming to another job.

4. What do you value most about maintaining your health?

Eating a balanced diet that is as clean and chemical-free as possible.

5. What do you consider when choosing beauty products?

I always read the ingredient labels. They must be clean, but also smell good.

I love the smell of herbs, but I can't stand synthetic sweet fruity or floral aromas.

6. What is your favourite MaiWistik product?

Unfortunately, I don't have just one. I love my Happik, lip balm and Female Force. Now I also really like Freshik!

7. Do you have a nice story to share with a product?

Cupik proved to be super effective against insect bites this summer!

But for example, my sister's baby and my boyfriend both had eczema or some kind of rash, and Curetik was literally the only thing that helped them.

This experience clearly shows why Curetik is a beloved product among many MaiWistik customers for the care of dry, sensitive, itchy or eczema-prone skin.

Curetik is a natural ointment used on dry, rough and problem skin areas. It is suitable when the skin needs extra nourishment, softening and protection. It is particularly valued during periods when the skin is dry, irritated or needs more support than usual.

Important: Curetik is not a medicine and does not replace treatment prescribed by a doctor, but it is suitable for the daily care of dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin.

8. What is your relationship with nature like?

I wish I could spend more time in nature, but I'm still doing pretty well.

I really love the energy of the forest and go every time I have the opportunity. I always feel very connected, but I'm immediately out of balance if I don't have access to nature for a longer period of time - for me, that can mean a week.

9. What is your favourite season? Why?

Hmm... I love them all. It's hard to choose.

Winter is the best for its snow and calmness. Spring is the best for its blossoming and cool mornings and evenings. Summer is the best for its sunshine, although I really don't like it when it's too hot. Autumn is the best for its golden colours.

10. What is your favourite herbal tea?

I love lemon balm and red raspberry leaf. But also nettle and peppermint. My house is like a tea shop!

Natural beauty starts with conscious choices

Miriam's answers reveal a simple but important idea: well-being begins with small daily choices. Morning meditation, movement in nature, clean food, reading ingredients and preferring natural products create a whole that supports both body and mind.

Even in skincare, you don't always have to look for complicated solutions. Sometimes the best choice is a simple, clean and plant-inspired product that supports the skin's natural balance.

If your skin is dry, rough, itchy or eczema-prone, Curetik can be a good addition to your daily skincare routine.
