10 Father's Day Grooming Gift Ideas That He'll Actually Want — According to a Guy

Admittedly, I'm a body wash guy, but some of you still prefer bar soap. That's fine! Do you, but at least use a nice bar soap while you're at it. This new bar baby from Baxter of California is packed with aloe and sunflower oil to nourish skin, sports a stripe of hydrating glycerine down the middle that hydrates, and just looks really cool. Even if your dad is "just a bar soap guy," up his shower game with a luxe bar; it might just be a gateway into an actual beauty regime.

Maybe your dad loves beer, or maybe your dad doesn't drink. Either way, this craft beer body wash is an awesome gift. Yes, it's made with real beer. No, it won't give him that stale beer smell leaving him reeking like a frat house. It's packed with B vitamins, proteins, and shea butter so it's very hydrating and nourishing, without any sulfates so it won't strip skin.

Your dad is getting old, but he doesn't have to look it, and as we all know, the first rule of slowing down signs of aging starts with a good SPF. Wearing sunscreen blows because it's thick and tacky and always leaves a white cast. They all say they're different, but none of them really are (just like men!). Glossier's new Invisible Shield really is as good as it would have you believe. It's clear, lightweight, and dries without any stickiness. It feels like you're not wearing anything at all. He's not going to wear sunscreen if he doesn't like how it feels, so get him one that he loves, just in time for Summer.

I won't say point blank that gel moisturizers are better than creams, but I won't . . . not say it either. They pack more moisture and work to seal it in, helping skin retain hydration for longer, and they're oil-free. This one even helps keep skin free of shine, while giving it a cooling sensation. As it dries down, it feels calming and soothing. This is basically the perfect moisturizer for the hot Summer months.

To call John Varvatos my favorite brand of men's fragrance available on the department store perfume counter wouldn't be far from the truth, and the new Artisan Blu is a perfect example of why. Equal parts citrusy and herbaceous, Artisan Blu is reminiscent of hot days on the shores of the Mediterranean. Bergamot, bitter orange, and lavender lure you in, florals keep it airy and light, and patchouli, cedarwood, and pine give it a woody base to anchor the fragrance all day.
