Green Skin

Our most important make-up ritual is washing it off at the end of the day. But sometimes we worry that our cleanser contains more chemicals than our cheek stains.

We love the new Smith Farms natural face care line, locally made by Montreal sisters, Julia and Rebecca Sinclair-Smith. The refreshing Orange Blossom Facial toner ($14) cleanses the skin with a combination of soothing witch hazel and aloe vera, antimicrobial Aspen bark extract, and green, white and rooibos teas to provide healing antioxidants. Finish off with the Marshmallow Face cream ($26), which gets its name and fluffy texture from marshmallow root, which is combined with rice bran oil to heal, regenerate and moisturize.

Now we feel both clean and green. —JN
