The Ultimate Guide to a 15-Step Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin
Seven core steps, plus the habits around them — customizing, masks, lifestyle, nutrition, life stages, and ethical choices — for healthier, glowing…
Chaé’s four-step routine (cleanse or exfoliate, mist, serum, moisturize) with the products to reach for at each step, whatever your skin type.

Great skin doesn’t take a complicated routine. The Chaé regimen comes down to four simple steps. Here’s how to do each one, and which Chaé products to use.
The short version
Cleanse your skin twice a day. Night cleansing is vital for removing makeup, dead skin, excess oil, sweat and the grime of the day. Morning cleansing helps your skin take up moisturizers and nutrients.
Massage a small amount of cleanser onto your skin with light circular motions, then rinse, or remove with a warm, damp washcloth.
Recommended Chaé products:
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, gets circulation going, and preps your skin for serums and moisturizer. Replacing your cleanser with an exfoliator several times a week is one of the best ways to keep your skin looking healthy and vibrant.
Apply the exfoliator and leave it on for several minutes as a mask. Then add water and massage your skin gently but firmly with moistened fingers.
Keep your skin moist while you exfoliate so your fingers slide across it, rather than pulling or stretching.
Recommended Chaé products:
Mist after cleansing or exfoliating to add moisture and nourishment and prepare your skin for the next step. Hold the bottle 12–18 inches from your face and spray lightly; there’s no need to drench. Serum or moisturizer can follow right away, and you can mist again any time during the day for a renewing boost.
Recommended Chaé products:
Serums are sheer by design, formulated to absorb deeply, down to the layers that hold the “mother cells” where new skin cells begin. Apply them under your moisturizer.
Chaé offers several serums, each made for different skin needs. Your best routine may use a different serum and moisturizer in the morning than in the evening.
Recommended Chaé products:
After your serum, follow with a Chaé moisturizer, designed to release active nutrients slowly while keeping a protective layer on your skin’s surface. Our formulas are made for superior, long-lasting moisture of up to 12 to 14 hours.
Recommended Chaé products:
Many cosmetics hold their ingredients together with emulsifiers, some of which have been known to contain toxins. Soap-based emulsifiers can actually dry your skin out. The others raise bigger concerns for your health: they’re ethoxylated compounds with innocent-sounding names such as PEG, MEA, DEA and TEA.
Chaé takes a different route. Our micelle system uses olive-based ingredients that wrap oils inside water “micelles” to form a lotion or cream. We also use Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Oleosomes, a ToxicFree® plant-derived natural liposome that binds to both oil and water. Safflower oil and safflower protein molecules make extraordinarily mild, emulsifier-free, cold-process serums, lotions and creams.
Together, Chaé’s oleosome and micelle systems create serums and moisturizers for radiant-looking skin, with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re not using unnecessary chemicals.
Twice a day: at night to remove makeup, dead skin, oil and sweat, and in the morning to help your skin take up moisturizers and nutrients.
Before. Serums are sheer and made to absorb deeply, so apply them first and follow with moisturizer.
Yes. Perfection Brightening Serum is lightweight for mornings, and G-Force can replace Argan or CoQ10 as a night cream.
One pick for each step: a balancing cleanser, a reviving mist, our top-selling serum and a moisturizer for every skin type.
