If you’ve ever browsed the Our Story page (and if you haven’t, you should—it’s an unbeatable read!), you’ll know that our desire for an all-natural, effective routine is what got us into the skincare industry in the first place.
We developed The Six, our signature collection, as a holistic, start-to-finish routine that you can rely on for years (like we’ve been). From blackheads and seasonal dryness to menopause and PMS breakouts, a good routine should adapt to your skin’s evolving needs.
Preventative Skincare: Why Routine is Key
When it comes to skincare, it can be tempting to treat issues only when they arise. We believe that consistency and care is the key to glowing skin year round, year after year.
Unfortunately, one face mask isn’t going to cure chronic breakouts just like seasonal dryness won’t disappear after using a night serum one time. Dermatologists believe that the key to consistently healthy-looking skin is knowing your body, and building a consistent routine that works for you.
The best way to do this? Make it fun. Make it a moment you look forward to! Take it from one of our founders, Aly:
“I take the time to fully enjoy each step of my skincare routine. This, to me, is a form of self care.”
Building a consistent routine for your skin supports your overall skin health. This means you’ll have a strong foundation to face any challenge life throws your way.

The Lake+Main Way: Founder Insights
We by no means want to tell you that there’s one way to structure a skincare routine—far from it!
We’ve loved The Six for decades precisely because it’s so versatile. Through each season of the year and each season of life, your skin will have different needs—your skincare routine should reflect this.
Listen to our founder, Aly, get real about her skincare routine with The Six:
“The reality is, day-to-day I don’t get to indulge in the full routine as often as I would like. However, I never skip CLEAN, ELEVATE, and NOURISH. Plus, I always keep BRIGHT EYES and KISSED in my purse for daily upkeep.”
Finding a skincare routine doesn’t have to be stressful. With quality products, you can create a sustainable ritual that works with your life, and your skin.
