Friday Favourites - Father's Day Gift Ideas

With Father’s Day just around the corner, here at The Amazing Blog we’ve compiled a list of our favourite beauty and grooming products to treat your old man, and get him looking and feeling great this summer.

First on our list is Belnatur’s Only Men line which has a great range of products designed to provide deep hydration, firmness and luminosity without a greasy feel. Two of our favourites are Belnatur’s Only Men After Shave Comfort (£16.99 for 150ml) and Belnatur’s Only Men Energy Fluid (£17.99 for 75ml).

Rich in White Willow, Cucumber, Witch Hazel and Aloe Vera, the Only Men After Shave Comfort is a refreshing gel that soothes the irritations caused by shaving. It assists with the prevention of premature aging and stimulates collagen production.

Belnatur’s Only Men Energy Fluid is light and non-greasy and recharges the skin with vitality and energy. It also improves water retention and increases skin’s flexibility.

Belnatur’s high performing products can be purchased from their official UK website and at salons nationwide.

Next on our list is one of our favourite ranges of hair products over here at The Amazing Blog. Label M is high on our list, and we think their thickening tonic (£10.95 for 150 ml) and deconstructor matt paste (£11.50 for 50 ml) make a great Father’s Day gift.

If your old man is slightly thinning on top, the thickening tonic is a unique gel to liquid formula which gives instant volume and texture to your hair. The deconstructor paste is also a fabulous product, great for those who like to style their hair, but love the rough and ready look.

The Label M range is available in a number of hairdressers including Toni & Guy. You can also buy the products from Label M’s site here.

Next we have men's body and skincare brand Scaramouche & Fandango , who have brought out two new grooming gift sets right in time for Father’s day. The Twin Pack (£13.50) comprises the daily shower essentials for men, including the brand's cleansing black quinoa and shea butter Shampoo and invigorating Brazilian papaya and vitamin E complex Body wash.

The Triple Pack (£25) helps start a skincare regime in three simple steps, and includes a Face Scrub; Shave Cream, containing guava extract to protect against razor burn; and a Hydrator.

We love that the products are fragranced with the range’s signature scents and are paraben free and 98% naturally derived. The products are suitable for all skin types and are made in the UK, and can be found at John Lewis, House of Fraser, Fortnum & Mason and Fenwick or from their website here.

Last, but certainly not least, New British luxury men’s grooming brand Thomas Clipper have the perfect shaving gift set this Father’s day, featuring the brand’s trademark built-to-last solid metal razors.

The Mark One (£85) and the Mark K (£125) shaving kits come with an exfoliating organic cotton flannel, an anti-inflammatory, organic shave balm, and razors that can be hand etched with up to 4 initials, to give your gift that personal touch.

Unfortunately we did not receive a press sample, so we can't really tell you what it is like. But we really liked the look of it! You can buy the gift sets from the Thomas Clipper website.

 

Man's Best Friend

After my recent arrival at Amazing PR, some products were sent to me. I’ll be honest, as someone in their 20’s, and therefore at the prime of his manhood, I thought that this was the kind of thing I might use later in life, maybe in my late 30’s, when I’d past my peak. I’ve never used these things before; never liked them but, I thought, why not give them try?

The products I received were Bulldog Natural Skincare products: Face Wash, Moisturiser, Face Scrub, Shave Gel and After Shave Balm. I thought the whole male grooming market was completely useless and that there was no point in using them. However, after trying the fabulous Bulldog Natural Skincare products, I’ve definitely changed my mind.

I’ve been using them for some days now and I can actually feel that my skin is softer and healthier. This morning, when I arrived at work I asked the girls to touch and feel my skin; they loved it, they loved it so much that they almost started kissing me; they think I didn’t realise but I did.

All Bulldogs products have the same citrus smell and just the right hint of lemon. Like me, you might find yourself spending more time in the bathroom, indulging in a bit of male grooming. In fact, I’m spending so much time in the bathroom at the moment I’m beginning to annoy my flatmates.

My favourite product was the Face Scrub, I’ve never used an exfoliator before and I loved the feeling of the little balls against my skin. I’m a man of routine, and I often find it difficult to find new products that do what they say on the tin which might be why I found it difficult to use the Shave Gel when I’m used to using my regular foam. Although, I have to say that I loved the After Shave Balm and the silky-smooth finish it gave my skin. And so, having being converted to the benefits of male grooming, I can safely say that Bulldog Natural Skincare range really is a man’s best friend.
