Ricardo Quintero previously ran Clinique, a major division of the multi billion dollar skincare empire, Estée Lauder company.
Now he and his wife Pilar started a direct to consumer skincare line called Care Skincare which is gaining rave reviews for its quality and affordability.
We sat down with Quintero and asked “When shopping for their wife or girlfriend, how can men confidently gift skincare products.”
TI: What should men be looking for when shopping for their significant other in the skincare aisle?
RQ: Essential products. There are three important needs of the skin that should be addressed as part of a daily routine.
TI: Could you elaborate on those three important needs?
RQ: Of course, first you have to cleanse every morning and every night. Your skin has cell turnover and you want to be able to remove the dead skin cells, dirt, excess oil and other debris that our skin picks up during the day and night.
Second, Moisturize. This is a very important step, in keeping skin healthy and in balance.
Third, Repair. As skin ages it loses elasticity and strength. Fortunately, there are formulas and ingredients that can help repair aging skin.
TI: What products do you recommend for each of these steps?
RQ: To cleanse, our Soft Sweep Micellar Cleanser Water and Toner. One product, easy to use day and night, that is effective, and won’t damage the skin barrier. So good, that it won a Self Magazine Healthy Beauty Award in 2019, and it starts at only $24 which is very reasonable for a product of this size and quality.
RQ: To moisturize, we have the perfect solution. Our Deep Moisture Fix– from a light, gel cream in packed with Hyaluronic Acid (a super powerful ingredient that is naturally present in skin), Caffeine, Vitamin C and E. Just $35. This product was featured on Byrdie.com which might not mean a lot to the guys reading this, but women follow their guidance religiously.
RQ: To Repair– As skin ages it loses elasticity and strength. Fortunately, there are formulas and ingredients that can help repair aging skin. Our Tireless Retinoid Night Serum smooths and brightens without irritation for a firmer, smoother skin. Also works on dark spots and uneven skin-tone, a big concern for women. This product starts at $48.
TI: This is incredibly helpful, but if i’m still not sure what to buy for Mother’s Day do you have any recommendations?
