A Deliciously Hydrated, Fabulous Face Introducing: Frøya Organics

Who is Frøya?

Frøya is another way to spell Freyja and Freja. Most people commonly know the Norse pantheon's goddess of love, fertility, beauty, sex, war, death, gold, and magic as Freya. Semantics, of course, but how fun to learn new things! When using her moniker Valfreyja she is the Lady of the Slain, Goddess of War and Death, choosing which brave Norse warriors go to her own Fólkvangr or Odin's Valhalla. Fun fact, it is also the name of my sourdough starter whose official title is extensively and formally, Valfreyja: Fierce Mother, Creator of All Breads. She was an offshoot of the very first starter I created on my own, John Lennon. I remember the day I knew he'd be strong and endure, elevated upon the lofty dais of the fireplace mantle, upon his unwanted timber throne, surrounded by stone.

So, What Is Frøya's Saga?

It is whispered amongst the storytellers of our day and age that Frøya Organics is a magical skincare line born of the Viking women of long ago come to fruition and application in our highly toxic modern chemical kingdom. Some of their special areas of focus include balms for maturing skin, dark circles under the eyes, wrinkles, eczema, acne, rosacea and redness. They are also a 100% natural skincare line who wild harvest potent arctic plants that survive in the rugged Norwegian mountainside environment with all their powerful intensity. Their products are handmade as well. You will find no water, fillers, compromised oils, parabens, paraffines, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, GMO's or hormone disrupters and are guaranteed your money back after 60 days if your skin isn't better.

Frøya Organic's Complete System for Mature Women’s Skin

These are the only things I have been using on my face for the last eleven days. The ingredients they use are said to reduce wrinkles and fine lines as well as prevent them with claims to activate collagen and elastin production. It boasts doing all of the other things one would expect that go with it such as reduce dark circles under the eyes, boost your natural glow (or bring it back!) as well as moisturize your skin and even out your skin tone. These blessed balms included in the Complete System for Mature Women's Skin are the Ultra Cleanse & Revive Face Scrub, Anti-Age & Insane Glow Day Balm, Ultra Potent Dark Circles & Eye Bag Remover, and Magic Wrinkle Eraser Night Balm which one can read more about on their site and exploring, if interested, the comprehensive list of exact ingredients.

The Routine

The Routine is quite simple and minimal. Truthfully, it's one I actually look forward to twice a day because it feels so great on my skin and has proven itself by way of results even in this short amount of time. It's six months later as I update this post. It's something I still look forward to even if I don't do it religiously. Sometimes I skip the overnight creams because it's hot and humid in this part of the world in the summer. However, it's still working as promised. My precious time invested is showing its worth. I started out using the facial scrub 2-3 times a week. It's mid-August and I only used this maybe once every 2-3 weeks over the summer. It's still doing the job. I haven't had to reorder this yet. I take a pinch with dry fingers into the palm of my hand, careful not to get any in the container before I step into the shower. Then, I wet the scrub a little and gently scrub my face, neck and décolletage for 1-2 minutes. I always wash my face with water. Just water, unless I'm in a state of sweat then it's homemade soap. Then, make sure it is patted sufficiently dry before working the next step. I don't wear make-up but if you do, they recommend removing it with a little olive oil, I believe. If it were me wearing make-up, I'd infuse some olive oil with lavender and use that, so it smells pretty. Who the hell wants to walk around with olive oil stinking up their own face without any hope of escape from that horrid scent? In any case, lavender has some skin benefits as well. Nightly, I use the Ultra Potent Dark Circles & Eye Bag Remover and Magic Wrinkle Eraser Night Balm as directed. It's six months later, as noted and I use this maybe twice a week. It's worth noting, however, I wasn't concerned about bags under my eyes, even with the disruptive sleep that has suddenly come upon me from hot flashes recently the last few months, but it looks like I did have some extra baggage given the improvement. In the morning, it's the beautiful golden Anti-Age & Insane Glow Day Balm. These balms emulsify easily and are not greasy, hydrating perfectly if you use the recommended amount. Not too much, or you'll feel greasy like the olive oil situation, I imagine. Remember, these are potent balms without fillers and unnecessary chemicals. I still haven't had to reorder anything, but I must be getting close six months after my initial purchase.

Real Talk: The Results

I swear I saw results beginning after the first few days. I wanted a simple, organic skincare routine that would help my dull skin and make it more even and smoother again. That's all I was looking for and I am getting a ton of extra benefits like reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and the lessening of dark circles and puff under my eyes. I have mostly dry, sensitive skin and these promised to be perfect for all skin types. I've been looking forward to how this was going to progress and being able to share it with you all.

I'm a minimalist and am sick of twenty products, thousands of dollars spent and thirty step skincare routines being the normal accepted way of it in this life. The trial and error is incredibly expensive. I guess that's why I never developed a solid or consistent way to care for my skin before now at fifty years old. There were so many products that burned my skin! I didn't have any specific areas I wanted fixed. I just wanted to do something organic and intuitive that didn't take me an hour and an obnoxious amount of multiple, super expensive products.

I'd recommend this to anyone from their twenties and up for preventive measures and great skin health. It feels fantastic, a little goes a long way and so far the results stack up. I'm getting my glow back even in the thick of winter and my skin feels wonderful and is improving as far as a smoother, even skin tone. I am getting exactly what I hoped for so far.

I'm happy to keep using this and am loving it for its ease, quality and promises kept so far! On this perimenopause journey, I've been able to get through it all naturally without any supplements, medications, vitamins, powders and so forth. Instead, I've made changes in diet, fitness, lifestyle and products I use for hair, cleaning, and laundry as well as this one for skincare. I'm starting a journey to get the breathable, high quality clothing in my wardrobe as well as I slowly replace the harmful fast fashion fabrics that some studies show disrupt hormones and cause cancer among so many other things. Why don't we actually have a cure for cancer after all these decades, again? Hmm. The miracle of modern science and medicine.

Give Frøya Organics a follow on Facebook or Instagram and you will begin your journey to learn all of the archaic knowledge passed down from woman to woman, generation to generation regarding a natural and holistic lifestyle, food as medicine and empowerment through their sacred and beautifully crafted words. Their customer service is prompt and friendly, if needed. However, their marketing is hit and miss and their website looks very bare bones, but I got what I paid for and in a timely manner.

Update April 13th 2025

I started using these on February 16th and today as I update this, it is April 13th. So, its been about two months now of using these products. Even with the hot flash sweats sometimes melting this off of my face if it decides to kick in moments after I get them on, I can attest thus far that my skin is much improved in the areas I was hoping it would show proof of and in other places I didn't think were of concern. The beginning of some serious old hag jowls, wrinkles around the mouth and a few that were starting to be noticeable on my forehead and neck area have seriously lessened. Problem areas I didn't think I had revealed themselves as they improved. It did everything as promised and I'm a happy camper. My supply still hasn't run out. The jars are small, but if you are using them correctly and properly, a little truly goes a long way and they are as potent as advertised. I would say I'm about halfway through the Magic Wrinkle Eraser Night Balm and Anti-Age & Insane Glow Day Balm. The Ultra Potent Dark Circles & Eye Bag Remover and Ultra Cleanse & Revive Face Scrub are barely dented. I'm really getting much more than I paid for so far and am absolutely delighted.

Update August 20th 2025

I started using these in February and my skin has remained deliciously hydrated and radiant. I feel cared for and pampered with this wonderfully simple routine that has proven itself. What an incredibly solid investment I have made in myself and my future quality of care. Changing up what I put onto my skin that cocoons my body from these products to a change in clothing fabrics (more on that in the next blog post) may well be the root of the hot flashes I had experienced so terribly and intensely for a few months earlier this year disappearing. Over six months into this and I don't want anything else on my face and neck. I wish I could afford to slather this on my entire body. Soon, I should have to order some more. I'll continue to keep this updated as I go. I haven't seen the bottom of any of the jars yet, but maybe I'm getting close. Seems like a bottomless margarita night this past half year using these wonderful products.
