Groomed to succeed: 10 Miami style setters on the best skincare gifts for Father’s Day

With Father’s Day around the corner, we sought out some of the most influential men in the Magic City who just so happen to have impeccable taste and wonderful skin. Just in time to celebrate, take note of these superb gifting tips that will help guide you through last minute shopping for the boys who could use a bit of beauty in their lives.

Oti Roberts, private banker

“Every day I use Elta MD Broad Spectrum SPF 46. It is light, oil free, protects the complexion, a truly perfect gift for the summer months, and ideal for Miami living all year round.”

Glenn Singer, mayor of Golden Beach

“My favorite skin care cream is the Ultra Sheer moisturizer by local dermatologist, Diane Walder. It is loaded with Vitamin A, C and E, is non-oily and makes my face feel refreshed.”

Fabrice Tardieu, creative director of Fabrice Tardieu

“My favorite skin care product is the Hotel Costes body lotion. I have very dry skin and it contains only the finest oil-rich properties. Plus, it smells really good, keeps my skin shiny all day long and I love it on my feet. As we all know, living in Miami means wearing sandals, and there is nothing worse than a dry foot with a chic, open toe shoe.”

Dr. Julio Gallo, plastic surgeon

“As the legendary Tom Ford said, ‘good manners and good cologne is what transforms the man into a gentleman!’ Certain scents still bring back memories from my father, like Nasomatto’s Black Afgano and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood.”

Filippo Boccara, CEO of Wit Entertainment

“I am a huge fan of La Prairie. I like the Anti-Aging Rapid Response Booster. It is top, top, top. From the smell to the texture, it keeps me as young-looking as possible, especially because I travel a lot which is tough on the skin. “

Dr. Jarred Mait, concierge doctor & specialist in Functional Medicine

“I swear by L’Occitane African Shea Butter. It is so hydrating. I use it from head to toe, even in my hair and because we are so exposed to sun, if I get a little bit of color, it soothes any discomfort.”

Diego Lowenstein, hotelier and musician referred to as ‘Dividalo’

“I used to use very fancy and expensive hydrating creams. No more of that! My daughter Layla recommended this aesop anti-oxidant moisturizer made from Parsley Seed, and as I am very picky (I hate sticky creams), I just fell in love. It is light and smooth, perfect for day and night.”

Tim Waller, CEO of BABOR Beauty Group Americas

“When it comes to skincare the DOCTOR BABOR REPAIR RX Gel Cream is a perfect gift. The expert formula repairs skin damage and improves cell turnover visibly. I recommend pairing it with our DOCTOR BABOR Hyaluronic Acid Power Serum Ampoule for intense four-dimensional moisture. These are, hands down, some of the most powerful products on the market.”

Terry Zarikian, Food expert, public relations executive and writer

“When I discovered Proraso men’s shaving products at a Beauty Made in Italy event, let’s just say I threw everything else away. With a nostalgic old fashion barber scent, the CREMA PRE BARBA, prepares your beard and face for what’s coming next. I also swear by the SAPONE DA BARBA, a green shaving soap with eucalyptus and menthol. It provides the most magical lather I have yet to discover in my entire life.”

Mahmood Abousalem, regional managing director, East Coast, Plan Do See America, Inc.

“I was gifted a one-year membership to Bialife, a dermatologist tailored skincare subscription that is sent right to my door, and I have been very happy with how easy it was for me to understand and get started. I am always on the go with work or with my sons, so the virtual component is really convenient. I had never paid much attention to skincare but with this membership, I was able to get a consultation every 12 weeks, a partial store credit for products that were recommended for my needs and have someone to talk to if I had any questions.”
