Farm fresh face

What we put into our bodies is local (thanks, Lufa!), but what we apply on it? Not always – until now.

Smith Farms is an all-natural skincare line based in St-Polycarpe, Qc and developed by sisters Julia and Rebecca Smith. Though we love the fact that the products contain zero unpronounceable ingredients, we’re even more smitten with the fact that they actually perform.

The Shea Butter Lip Balm ($5) drenches our dried-out pout with long-lasting moisture, our honey is addicted to the Vitamin Rich Hand Cream ($18) and our stash of fancy creams has been pushed to the side in favor of the ultra-smooth, super soothing Marshmallow Face Cream ($26).

The verdict on this all-natural skin care? Much more chic than crunchy. —Christine Laroche
