Skin Care Products for Men

Many dads like to spend time out of doors, which equates to considerable sun damage for the skin. Many dads also indulge in a shave now and then, and the soaps and creams they use can contain abrasive ingredients that irritate the skin. These two things combined can leave your dad’s face in pretty poor shape.

This Father’s Day, consider giving the gift of all-natural rejuvenation with skin products that contain the nicest things that nature offers. Travel-sized kits are always nice for dads-on-the-go…

All-Natural Organic Shave Cream

For starters, be on the look-out for products scented with essential oils, creams that contain
natural soothers, and moisturizing soaps based in vegetable-glycerin.
Most natural shaving soaps and men’s skin care products contain a base of similar
ingredients (vegetable glycerin and natural oils).

Check out the varied and nourishing combinations these companies offer as inspiration for finding something that fits in with your dad’s routine:
