Chris’ Skincare Routine and Why It Works

If you have ever stood in front of your bathroom mirror wondering whether you’re using the right products or applying them in the right order, you’re not alone.  

Many people want a skincare routine that truly supports their skin, but feel overwhelmed by trends, conflicting advice, and routines that seem unrealistic for everyday life. Even with quality products, it can be hard to know what actually makes a difference. 

A consistent morning skincare routine sets the tone for how your skin looks and feels all day. When products are chosen thoughtfully and layered with intention, they support hydration, protection, and balance without adding unnecessary steps.  

This article walks through the skincare routine of our owner, Chris Klueh, and explains why each step is essential. It also highlights how medical-grade guidance can help you create a personalized routine designed for your skin. 

Why a Consistent Morning Routine Matters 

Your morning skincare routine prepares your complexion to handle everything the day brings, including environmental stress, dehydration, and sun exposure. When your skin starts the day supported and protected, it tends to look healthier and respond better to treatments over time. 

Consistency is what allows products to do their job. Skincare works best when it is used regularly, in the right order, and with a clear purpose behind each step. 

Morning Products Support All-Day Skin Health 

Morning products focus on hydration, protection, and balance. Lightweight moisture helps skin stay comfortable; antioxidants support brightness and resilience, and daily sun care protects against long-term damage. Together, these steps help your skin maintain a healthy baseline throughout the day. 

Professional Choices Reduce Guesswork 

When products are carefully selected by a professional, each one serves a specific role. This prevents unnecessary overlap, reduces irritation, and helps your routine feel manageable rather than overwhelming. 

Chris’ Morning Routine Step-by-Step 

Understanding how products work together is easier when you can see a real routine in action. Chris’ morning routine shows how thoughtful layering supports skin health without adding extra steps. 

Step 1: Cleanse and Refresh 

Chris’ morning begins with iS Clinical Cleansing Complex. A gentle cleanse removes overnight buildup like oil and sweat while respecting the skin barrier. Since it has a built-in toner, the pH of the skin is not compromised.  This step creates a clean surface so the rest of her products can be absorbed properly. 

Step 2: Brighten and Defend 

iS Clinical GeneXC Serum adds antioxidant support to help brighten the skin and defend against daily environmental stress. Antioxidants work best when applied in the morning, where they support the skin throughout the day. The serum stays in the skin for 24 hours. 

Step 3: Hydrate and Calm 

Next comes iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum. Lightweight hydration helps soothe the skin and adds comfort without heaviness. This step also prepares skin for active ingredients applied afterward by maintaining the moisture barrier of the skin. 

Step 4: Support the Barrier 

Biopelle Stem Cell Cream provides balanced daytime moisture. This step helps the skin stay comfortable and supported under sunscreen and makeup.  The CellPro technology is clinically proven to assist stem cell function by promoting new healthy skin cells.  It reinforces the skin’s integrity, and increases radiance, firmness & smoothness. 

Step 5:  Care for the Eye Area 

Obagi Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream brings an immediate radiance boost with depuffing and hydration that lasts 24 hours. 

Step 6 Protect with Daily Sun Care 

The routine finishes with iS Clinical Extreme Protect SPF 30. Daily sun protection is a foundational part of skin health and supports long-term results from every other product you use.
