How can I sweep a face without also twisting it?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to sweep a face along a curve that goes downwards and to the left, however my attempts aren't working out. It seems like I need to guide it somehow but there are no options to do so that I can see.
This what happens when I try: https://imgur.com/dwYbgQ5
"Keep profile orientation" almost does what I need.. but not quite.
Any tips to help a guy out?
Cheers,
Ryan

There are a few ways to do this. It is possible to use Loft, however it may be a little painful to set up. I recommend using the custom feature Sweep normal by @mahir. It's perfect for cases like this.
