IT’S DAD’S DAY: YOUR 2017 GIFT GUIDE
Though we hope you’re showing him the love every single day of the year, Father’s Day is an especially important day to show him you care. Give the dads in your life a “from the heart” handwritten card and a token of appreciation. We recommend you skip the usual grill gear, tie or belt this year and opt for something that shows him you appreciate the rugged or sexy or metrosexual vibes that he puts out every single day. It’s probably what caught your eye in the first place.
No matter what your price point, here are 7 special head to toe picks that will keep him well-groomed:
Gentlemen’s Hardware Flight Ready Kit ($20) is the perfect accompaniment to a surprise trip planned by you. Whisk him away to his favorite city, country or island and he’ll certainly be prepared to look his best with this quartet. There’s a travel-friendly hair and body wash, a face wash, shaving cream and post-shave lotion, all in a wonderfully fresh and clean sandalwood/citrus scent.
Comme des Garçons 2 MAN ($120) has a totally cool bottle that snagged my attention from the moment I spotted it. Then I smelled it and the notes of Incense, White Smoke, Nutmeg, Leather, Mint, Mahogany Wood and other masculine hits sealed the deal.This is one fragrance that is different than everything else out there.
Everyone For Men 3-in-1 in Cucumber & Lemon Soap ($10.99), the ideal multi-purpose solution set for all of the minimalist men out there. The priced-right soap works as a shampoo, body wash and shaving gel and is formulated with gentle cleansers and nourishing ingredients. There is also a multi-tasking lotion at the same price and in the same scent that can be used on the face, hands and body. It blends skin loving essential oils and extracts. *If Cucumber/Lemon isn’t his thing, there’s also a soap/lotion duo available in Cedar & Citrus scent.
Foreo Luna for Men 2 ($199) should be used twice a day with your favorite cleanser at two minutes a pop. This award-winning waterproof, anti aging device boosts performance of your skin care products as it minimizes lines and wrinkles and maximizes a radiant, more. youthful looking complexion. This facial groomer is powered by up to 8,000 transdermal sonic pulsations per minute, a large sized brush surface and comes with a range of brush heads for specialized cleansing of different facial areas.
Clinique For Men Maximum Hydrator Activated Water-Gel Concentrate ($39) should be applied morning and evening over freshly cleansed skin. Its ultra-light, soothing formula boosts skin’s moisture levels for up to 24 hours, absorbs in seconds and is oil and fragrance.
evo Hip to Be Sharp Box ($35.95) gives him the gift of great hair. He’ll find two products: the normal persons shampoo and a box o’ bollox texture paste or a crop strutter’s construction cream. The normal persons shampoo works well on all hair types. The box o’bollox texture paste is great for short, textured styles as it provides strong hold, a matte finish and stay put separation. The crop strutter’s construction cream gives medium hold and is pliable shaping cream for support and separation.
Hum Nutrition Wing Man Dark Circle Remedy Supplement ($25) will help banish those circles in as little as four weeks. The key ingredient, Silymarin, has antioxidant properties, especially as it related to the liver cells. It also has antifibrotic activity that could inhibit the binding of toxins to the liver cell membrane receptors.
