Falling smack bang in the middle of summer, what better present is there than introducing them to their new summer scent? Cue: Le Labo’s The Noir 29 Eau De Parfum. Paying homage to the noble black tea leaf, the fragrance fuses the light notes of bergamot, fig and bay leaves with the richness of cedar wood, vetiver and musk. Plus, housed in a refillable bottle, it means they can replenish it easily – because let’s face it, one spritz of this sensual smell and they will be left wanting more.

It must be said that the pressures that come with fatherhood, can have dads pulling their hair out (not, literally… we hope). With that in mind, we say it’s time to give back with Philip Kingsley’s Density Thickening Conditioner. Restoring their locks, the rich post-shampoo lifts at the roots and replenishes depleted strands — boosting body to disguise the signs of stressful times with a really good hair day.

Facial hair is very high maintenance – it needs washing, hydrating and styling. So, why not switch up their grooming routine for the better with Ruffians’ Argan Beard Oil. Designed for brittle beards (be it bushy or barley there), it’s created from a cocktail of natural vitamins and omegas to lock in moisture and fend against external aggressors (UV rays, we’re looking at you). What’s more, blended with tea tree and citrus extracts, it naturally cleanses facial hair and rejuvenate skin at the same time.

Everyone by now should know the importance of SPF – yes, even dads. But if he still rolls his eyes or ‘forgets’ to slap on the sunscreen on a daily basis, then it’s time to take matters into your own hands. Thank You Farmer’s featherweight Sun Project Water Sun Cream SPF5+, shields them for the sun’s rays no matter their skin type. Seamlessly soaking into the skin (so there’s no complaints about oily finishes), it’s powered by high levels of hyaluronic acid to provide maximum protection whether they’re out with their pals or working from home.
