FATHERS DAY: Beauty Products

Fathers Day is just around the corner (17th June) so I thought I'd do a couple of posts recommending gifts for you. I feel that Fathers Day is neglected often and the focus is mainly put onto Mothers Day but remember, your dad is just as important! So here are my recommendations...
Kyoku is a range that is designed specifically for men. It incorporates ancient Japanese knowledge of natural extracts such as Ginseng, Green Tea Leaf, Bamboo, Chamomile and Avocado Oil with up to the minute scientific research.
The Kyoku Oil Control Lotion - £43.00* is for men with oily skin. It contains dual-action micro-particles which reduce shine on the skin whilst also keeping it fully hydrated. It also helps combat spots and contains SPF 15 to protect the skin from harmful UV rays.
The Kyoku Daily Facial Cleanser - £19.00* is powerful enough to clean away dirt and oil that is deep beneath the skin's surface but it's also gentle enough to use every day. It combats the appearance of dark circles, adds moisture and protects your skin from the effects of temperature and pressure whilst also preventing irritation. 
The Kyoku Razor Repair Balm - £29.00* is for those who find that shaving is irritating their skin. It's specially formulated to combat irritation, redness and dryness that shaving causes after every shave. It not only does all of this but it also smooths the skin texture and calms redness.
I love the packaging of these products. You can tell that they're very gender specific but they also look classy and high end (which they are). I love the smells as well.. they're not overpowering, they're just nice and manly.
The Weleda range is free from synthetic additives including fragrance, artificial colour or preservatives and these products are made without raw materials derived from mineral oils. They're also not tested on animals.
The Weleda After Shave Balm - £13.95* is a soothing and calming balm which refreshes the skin whilst moisturising it as well. It helps to sustain the skin's natural oils and Chamomile and Myrrh sooth the skin. It's also cooling and protects the skin from dryness, leaving it soft and supple.
The Weleda Smooth Shave Toner - £13.95* can be using before or after a wet or dry shave. It tightens the skin and makes the hair stand up which results in an easier shave. It also soothes and tones the skin whilst disinfecting any small cuts.
Once again, I love the gender specific packaging and also the scent. I also think that these are a really good price as you get a lot of product.
I truly love the Wilko's shower creams and since attending their event, I've been in to Wilko's to pick a few up for myself. However when it comes to men, I'm sure they don't want sweet, strawberry scents. So I'd recommend the Wilko Minty Shower Cream - £1.00* and the Wilko Tropical Coconut Shower Cream - £1.00* (or two for £1.50). These both smell absolutely beautiful and I've had to keep the coconut one away from my sister as she's obsessed. The scent lingers on the skin and because they're a shower cream, they moisturise the skin as well.
I've tried Pro Activ before and I'm a big fan! You can see my reviews of these products here so I won't go into too much detail but I really love them. They're gentle and are great for combating acne and spots. They also help with acne scarring as well which is wonderful and it's impossible to get spots without them leaving marks. You can buy the Pro Activ set here.
What man doesn't want aftershave? I was instantly attracted to this because of the vintage TV box. I've smelt this before and it's really love. I'm useless as describing scents so I'll just say.. go and smell it! This is the Diesel Fuel for Life gift set - £35.
What are you getting your dad for fathers day/how are you celebrating??
