Come harvest season, my little corner of Toronto goes from being sadly lacking in local organic produce to an orgy of earth-given delights. Within blocks of my house there are, count ’em, four farmers’ markets. What to do with all that bounty when my belly and freezer can’t keep up? Mash it together and make a face mask! This week’s combo? A spoonful of slightly overripe blueberries (full of nourishing antioxidants), some yogurt (a gently exfoliating source of lactic acid) and a drizzle of skin-plumping, antibacterial honey, all from my local markets. Ten minutes once a week will leave your UV-embattled face soft and glowing. Plus, you can eat whatever you don’t use.
