Summer Skin Routine
It's the middle of summer and we all want to be outdoors, active, relaxing, or just generally doing something other than everyday drudgery.
Me too.
During summer, I actually use less time on skin pampering (not that skin pampering is drudgery!)
But during summer, quality moisturizing with less effort is desirable.
I've had a few questions from you lovely readers about my summer skin regimen, so here it is: my all-time fave summer skin regimen.
This simple skin care program works equally well at home or traveling, and not all of it involves pricey, custom-made products either.

Comments
My routine is quite simple:
In the morning, clean-tone with a home made micellar water (I change recipe everytime by changing the hydrosol depending on my mood or what I fancy). Moisturize with the cream I make myself. As I change the recipe all time becasue I like to try different things, I have a different one every month or so XD
For the night, clean skin with mild cleanser (it's a home made version of "angel on bare skin") and tone with a hydrosol (rose, orange blossom, bamboo, mint [diluted], it depends).
I don't like to use moisturizing for the night because I think the skin needs to "breathe" and regenerate by itseld, so I just simply cleanse it with a non-irritating product and leave it for the night.
I'm also intrigued by your statement of the skin regenerating on its own without help - why you don't use a night cream. :)
