Just 30 excellent Father's Day skincare products for the beauty-averse men in your life.

 

Father’s Day is almost here and if we were the betting kind, we’d put money on you not having organised a gift yet.

No judgement. In fact, it’s actually a great thing because we’ve got it all sorted for you.

You see, just like us, men have faces that need skincare. But if your partner, father, grandpa or friend isn’t so fond of an 11-step beauty routine or fancy bottles with fancy names, they might not be looking after their faces as well as they should.

Just in time for Father’s Day, here’s some classic Dad jokes you’ve definitely (and unfortunately) heard before. Post continues after audio.

We’ve rounded up 30 very excellent men’s skincare product and gift set recommendations from our You Beauty Facebook group you can buy for the beauty-averse men in your life.

Because, they’re worth it. But also because they need to stop pinching your precious beauty products.

Essano Man.

"For the past couple of months, I've been using Essano's sensitive face wash and daily moisturiser. Their Everyday Moisturiser is really lightweight, you never feel like you're glooping it on. If I apply it before I go to sleep, it sets quickly and I don't wake up with dry skin. It's fragrance-free, which at first is a bit weird because it does have a subtle smell I can only describe as… 'natural'. But I'm used to it now and would recommend this product to most guys I know. Essano's Sensitive Face Wash is also great – it's a green gel with aloe vera, so it's very soothing after a long day." - Adam.
