Whether he’s a seasoned skin care enthusiast or a newbie to the world of wellness, Dad will appreciate a thoughtful gift to up his game. Dads might not be the first ones to book themselves a spa day, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want and need some TLC and at-home pampering! Read on for our top picks to relax, rejuvenate, and revive your old man this Father’s Day:

For a limited time you can stock up and save on a four-piece set and men’s grooming bag, perfect for storage and travel.

And if you’re wondering, the entire set smells fresh and clean without being overpowering.
Spongelle for my Dad Gift Set ($40)
Men don’t want a complicated shower—rather, a streamlined experience to get the job done in an effective and enjoyable way. Enter Spongelle: a body wash-infused buffer to cleanse, exfoliate and massage all while nourishing the skin. Created with a patented technology and self-preserving formulation, bacteria growth and contamination are kept at bay.

CHI Man Naturally Refined Kit ($38.99)
CHI gives Dad everything he needs for healthy and distinguished-looking hair in one simple set. All products are formulated with a woodsy Oud scent, the rich vibe of a classic men’s barber shop, and updated with healthy ingredients for today’s modern man. The One-3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Wash checks all the boxes for a simple shower, removing buildup and hydrating locks with provitamin B5. Styling saver, In Fine Form – Natural Hold Gel and The Finisher – Grooming Spray are made with aloe vera and provitamin B5 to prevent dryness while holding hair neatly in place. The last step grooming spray locks in style using a flexible hold and a medium level of shine.
Gloves in a Bottle Hand Shielding Lotion – Set of 2 ($27.95)
Rough hands from hard work and/or intense temperature conditions happen to the best of dads. Most men avoid an overly fragrant or greasy-feeling hand cream, soldiering on with cracks and discomfort. A practical solution and favorite among nurses and athletes is Gloves in a Bottle, a fragrant-free, non-comedogenic formula to help reduce moisture lost while allowing skin’s natural oils to be put to work. Formulated with dimethicone, the skin’s protective barrier is reinforced, adding protection and moisture to excessive hand washing and sanitizers. We love the two-pack option featuring the standard Gloves in a Bottle Lotion in addition to the added SPF 15 option, especially ahead of summer.
