Father’s Day is upon us, which means a round of gift shopping for what’s possibly one of the toughest categories of people: dads. And if you’re still on the hunt for a thoughtful gift that he will appreciate, then you’ve come to the right place. As skincare for men becomes more popular and commonplace, it’s as good a time as any to introduce some elevated grooming products to add to his routine. Whether he’s a newbie who’s just moved up from a routine that only involves water, or a man with an involved and thorough regimen, one of these picks is sure to make the process more enjoyable.
Help your dad sort his grooming needs with this practical set by Bevvies. Within the kit, you’ll find a sleek triple-blade cartridge razor, shave cream, facial cleanser and moisturiser that make getting ready in the morning — or for their next video conference — less of a hassle. On top of that, the whole package will also come with a complimentary bottle of wine of your choice for the ultimate pampering experience at home.
Need some help finding the perfect cologne for Dad this Father’s Day? To help simplify your search for gift-worthy men’s cologne this Father’s Day, consider Jo Malone London’s edit tailored for men.
If he likes something that’s dark and mysterious, the Jo Malone London’s Cologne Intense is the perfect gift for him. Boasting a unique blend of noble Cypress and Grapevine, the scent is intensified when topped with Oud & Bergamot — creating a deep and alluring combination. This statement fragrance is great for your dad to spritz on in the morning before his day starts or ahead of an evening out.
If your dad’s still using disposable razors, it’s time for an upgrade. The new, rechargeable Heated Razor by GilletteLabs offers the comforting experience of a warm towel shave with its stainless steel warming bar so your dad can turn his shaves into a mini spa session. Oh, and it’ll look pretty sleek in the sink cabinet too.
If he’s someone who leads a fast-paced life, his skin will appreciate a product like this one from Clarins. Delivering a boost of energy, vitality and hydration to their overworked skin, this Energising Gel is packed with red ginseng extract that works to help him fight off different types of aggressors including extreme temperatures and even stress.
There is an elegance to the ritual of shaving with a safety razor. Aesop makes a very elegant one with a perfectly balanced weight. Complete the set with a shaving brush, Moroccan Neroli Post-Shave Lotion (very soothing) and the Moroccan Neroli Shaving Serum which can be added to any shaving cream for more slip.
This cleanser is ideal for the sportier dad whose skin needs a more thorough cleanse. The kaolin clay and activated Binchotan charcoal in the formula help with getting rid of impurities and controlling excess oil.
This light fluid lotion promises the same level of moisture and skin benefits as the cream from the same range – except in a much lighter texture. The product itself dispenses as a rich, creamy emulsion that transforms into a runnier liquid when massaged into the skin. That’s great for oilier or sweat-prone complexions.
Start your dad on the skincare ingredient du jour, vitamin C, with this serum from Kiehl’s meant to improve the texture and radiance of your skin. Bonus: the antioxidants in the formula also work wonders on lines and wrinkles.
Cult brand Malin + Goetz, which is new to beauty retailer Escentials, has this oxygenating gel mask that promises a deep cleanse and ample hydration. Instructions are easy enough, simply leave on for five minutes then rinse off.
For a more physical deep cleanse, this scrub from Clinique should do the trick. Great for those with beards, the face scrub works to de-flake and lift beard hairs while reducing ingrown hairs. At the same time, the scrub also sloughs off dead skin and unclogs the pores, revealing a soft and smooth complexion.
If your dad is a man who appreciates fine fragrances, he’s sure to enjoy this face lotion from Hermes. The light, balmy texture provides hydration and calming benefits for the skin – particularly good for post-shave moisturizing. It’s also formulated with its namesake perfume’s scent, featuring zesty citrus notes, mint and blackcurrant bud.
This rich and potent Bobbi Brown serum, packaged in a handy dropper format, uses fermented ingredients rich in anti-oxidants to provide skin with the nutrients in it. It works especially well for restoring energy and vibrance to tired or dull skins.
