Must-Have Fragrance and Grooming Goods For the Most Special Dads in Your Life
As we inch closer to celebrating the fathers in our lives, we can't help but think of how finding the perfect gift can sometimes feel like a daunting task. But you know what, dads also want to look and feel their best, even if they pretend to shrug off the idea of beards groomed to perfection or hair soft and manageable. To save you some time over what to buy the fatherly figures in your life this Father's Day, we've gathered a few can't-go-wrong ideas they'll be secretly glad to receive.
For the Skin-Care Novice
For the dad interested in getting his skin-care routine figured out, the Clinique For Men Starter Kit — Daily Intense Hydration ($10, originally $16) includes three essential products to get started. There's a face wash that gently cleanses, a cream shave that provides a rich butter, and a water-gel concentrate that is extremely lightweight yet delivers a 179 percent moisture boost.
The Kiehl's Facial Fuel Starter Kit ($48) is a two-step option for the dad who wants to up his skin-care regimen but isn't ready to commit to a whole routine. This duo includes the Energizing Face Wash and Energizing Moisture Treatment, both of which contain vitamin C, caffeine, and menthol.
The Beauty Finds by Ulta Beauty Daily Essentials Kit ($15, originally $30) is packed with minis of some of the best skin-care goodies, plus some more for him to try and discover what works best. In it, he'll find the Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb, the ProActiv Renewing Cleanser, the Skyn Iceland Blemish Spots, and so much more.
For the Fashionably Groomed
The fashionably groomed father (especially a dad of a toddler) will love having a classic staple he can casually throw on to look good and have ultimate comfort. The LNA Men's Short Sleeve Crew ($50) is the perfect black tee he can count on again and again.
Pair the tee with the Stmnt Grooming Goods Upgrade Your Shower Kit ($22, originally $45), a set that includes a shampoo, a hair and body bar, and a grooming spray he can use to seal his hairstyle.
For the Mane Dad
If you know a dad who thrives on a good-hair day, the American Crew Firm Hold Styling Gel ($16-$34) will help him keep his latest style in place. It's enriched with natural extracts such as vitamin B5 to help hair look thicker and shinier without drying the hair or the scalp.
On a fresher note, the Blind Barber 40 Proof Sea Salt Textured Hold Spray ($18) gives hair an extra boost of volume and texture while providing a light hold. It helps give just-got-back-from-the-beach waves with minimal effort.
For the Beard Dude
For the cool dad who sports a plush beard, the Jack Black Beard Grooming Kit ($35) is essential. Hey, growing it out in the first place takes effort, so to keep it in tip-top shape, there's the Beard Wash that removes dirt and oil while conditioning the skin, the Beard Lube Conditioning Shave that works as a preshave oil, a shave cream, and an aftershave conditioner. There's also a beard oil and a beard comb included because maintaining a beard takes some love and dedication.
To further enhance his cool-dude vibes, the Bonnie Clyde Karate Sunglasses ($148) will have him looking and feeling like the hippest dad in town.
For the Fragrance Fan
For the pop who loves an enticing fragrance, Dior's Sauvage line will have him wishing you gifted it to him sooner. Infused with the fragrance's key citrus and wood notes, there's everything from the Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum ($105-$186) and the Sauvage Elixir ($159) to the Sauvage After Shave Balm ($62) and even the Sauvage Deodorant Stick ($26). Now, who wouldn't want to feel the luxury that comes with a Dior deo stick?
On a different note, the Prada Luna Rossa Ocean Eau de Toilette ($80-$100) offers a leathery scent with top notes of bergamot and pink-pepper essence that produce a fresh masculine scent. It's an aquatic fragrance that is bold yet not overpowering.
For a One-and-Done Gift
Some dads can't deal with more than one product, and the Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20 ($30-$49) will keep his face moisturized and protected from the sun with minimal effort. This lightweight moisturizer is perfect for daily use as it keeps the skin soft, supple, and free of oiliness.
What's better than a two-in-one? A three-in-one! The American Crew 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash ($19-$27) contains sage-leaf extract, which adds shine to hair and softens the skin. It helps to detangle and condition while also hydrating the skin.
