Want to look glossy and hydrated with minimal effort? Barefaced is the local skincare brand you need on your radar if you’re on the lookout for quality products while on a budget
Skincare doesn’t need to be an overly long process. Yes, it feels great to start your days with your trusty face mask, gua sha, and exfoliating wash, but some days simply call for minimal effort. The latter case is especially true for all students and young professionals who are concerned with finding time to squeeze in self-care on top of a busy workload and social calendar. The money it takes to maintain a lengthy skincare routine is no small matter either. Enter: Barefaced.
Barefaced is a local brand that’s Korean-inspired but designed for Philippine weather and diverse Filipino skin types. This brand is also committed to making self-care accessible and affordable to moms, teens, and professionals.
A morning essential
The glazed donut skin trend is all about looking dewy and youthful with little to no product, and is best attained with healthy, hydrated skin. If you’re on a tight budget and schedule, we recommend you check out Barefaced’s Sunkissed Illuminating Sunscreen—a viral product with over 3.5 million views on TikTok. Beyond its virality and fan following, you can trust this broad-spectrum sunscreen to both protect your skin and give it a nice radiant glow.

Notably, the Sunkissed Illuminating Sunscreen’s formula is lightweight, fragrance-free, and non-greasy with an SPF of 30 PA+++. It’s also fast absorbing and leaves zero white cast over your face, making it the perfect make-up base for all skin types and tones. And if you’re conscious about the products you put on your skin, know that this sunscreen was made using vitamin E, aloe vera extracts, hyaluronic acid, green tea extracts, Centella Asiatica, licorice extracts, niacinamide, and cucumber extracts.
A nighttime must
If you’re going for that glazed donut look as a daily aesthetic, we can’t underscore enough the importance of healthy skin. One good way to achieve that is through Barefaced’s Glazed Ultra Hydrating Sleeping Mask. This is a dermatologically-tested product safe for a wide demographic, from breastfeeding moms to teens.
The best thing about this sleeping mask is that it has a 12-hour moisture retention feature. This long-lasting moisture nourishes your skin overnight so you can wake up the next morning with firm and plump skin with minimal effort on your end. All this is made possible with its amazing formula, consisting of aloe vera leaf juice, sodium hyaluronate, squalene, hydrolyzed collagen, seaweed extract, milk protein, allantoin, licorice extract, alpha arbutin, niacinamide, betaine, azelaic acid, centella asiatica, and tranexamic acid.
The glazed effect
With a daily and nightly self-care ritual using Barefaced’s products, you can achieve a glazed donut glow just like that! But even if that look isn’t your goal, the sunscreen and sleeping mask duo still comes highly recommended for radiant-looking skin you can flex without filters.
