When summer arrives, we change our clothes, our meals, even our daily routines, so why should skincare stay the same? At Floragy, we believe in working with your skin and the seasons, not against them. As the weather warms up, humidity levels rise, and we spend more time outdoors, your skin’s needs change and adapting your skincare routine is key to keeping your complexion clear, comfortable and glowing all summer long.

Here’s how (and why) to give your routine a seasonal update:

1. Lighter Moisture, Still Hydrated

As humidity increases, heavy creams can start to feel suffocating. They may even clog pores and lead to breakouts. Switch to lightweight moisturisers that still deliver hydration without the weight. Look for water-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts, hydrators that support your skin barrier without feeling greasy.

🌿 Try: Our Rejuvenate Hyaluronic Moisturiser – a fast-absorbing, ultra-hydrating formula that quenches thirsty skin and leaves it soft, not shiny.

2. Manage Oil + Breakouts with Balance

Heat and humidity can trigger more oil production, which often leads to congestion and breakouts especially if you're using products not suited for summer. Focus on gentle cleansing, natural exfoliation, and avoid occlusive ingredients that trap sweat and oil.

🌿 Try: Cleanse – Oil to Milk Cleanser – it melts away impurities without stripping skin, making it ideal for balancing summer skin.

3. Exfoliate – But Gently

Your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells, but in summer, SPF, sweat, and pollution can slow that process, leading to dullness or rough texture. A gentle exfoliant once or twice a week will help refresh your complexion and prevent clogged pores.

🌿 Try: Refresh – Matcha & Mint Clay Mask – a gentle way to clarify, refresh, and revive tired summer skin. (Look out for our new exfoliating cleanser, coming soon!)

4. Keep Hydration Inside & Out

Dehydration shows up on the skin quickly, tightness, fine lines, and dullness are all signs. Drinking more water helps, but so does using hydrating mists, toners and oils that support the skin’s moisture barrier.

🌿 Try: Harmony Chamomile Toner or Bloom Rosewater Toner – both are soothing, cooling, and perfect for mid-day refreshers.

5. Don’t Skip SPF

While SPF might not be in the Floragy range (yet), it’s non-negotiable in summer. Layer it as your final step in the morning, and reapply regularly, especially if you're out in the sun or near water. Natural skincare supports the skin, but protection is essential.

In Summary:

Your skin doesn’t need more in summer it just needs different. Lighter, more breathable products. Regular but gentle exfoliation. Hydration from all angles. And a focus on clarity and balance. By adapting your routine to the season, you’ll help your skin thrive all summer long, glowing, refreshed, and resilient.
