Almost Barefaced Beauty

Viking Secret’s Glow Facial Oil + Ästhetik’s Tinted Organic Mineral Sunscreen = Radiant Coverage, & SPF 50 Sun Protection

The secret to barefaced beauty is right here in this post. Use these two organic skincare products together to create glowing, natural-looking color with 50+ sun protection.

Glow Facial Oil, manufactured by Viking Beauty Secrets, is a time-saver that simplifies my skincare routine. A little goes a long way, and it’s a great way to start the day with a radiant glow. Thankfully, Viking Beauty Secrets left out the harsh chemicals and preservatives found in many skincare products. This quickly-absorbing organic facial oil is chockfull of antioxidant-rich ingredients such as cloudberry extract and blueberry extract and moisturizing Sea Buckthorn oil.

Sunscreen is the most important product in my skincare routine, so I always keep a plentiful supply on hand. I often use La Roche-Posay’s sunscreen, but when I desire more coverage, I reach for Ästhetik’s tinted Organic Mineral Sunscreen. The thicker texture of this sunscreen (available in three shades) might not be to everyone’s liking, but I’ve discovered that using Glow Facial Oil to prime my skin before applying it resulted in smoother application and a radiant, natural-looking hint of color.

Bonus points! Ästhetik’s Organic Mineral  Sunscreen’s 3.9 oz bottle lasts a lot longer than the 1.7 ounce size of many sunscreens, so I need not replace it as often.
