Many people would agree that Father's Day is one of the hardest occasions to shop for. There's no shortage of gift ideas out there, and yet, none of them seem just right. You may be thinking that your love for beauty products doesn't translate to most father figures, husbands, uncles, and so on, but you just haven't found the right product yet.
Giving the gift of a little self-care can go a long way; it's the perfect gift for someone who claims they "don't want anything." Who wouldn't like a new fancy razor that'll give you the closest shave of your life (be it on your face or legs), a woodsy candle that will make your home smell like a summer campfire, or a new refreshing and luxurious-feeling body wash, which also doubles as a shampoo? Those are just a few of the Father's Day beauty gifts that you might want to consider buying two of and awarding one to yourself.
Ahead, our editors shared the beauty gifts they're shopping for Father's Day this year that they wouldn't mind stealing for themselves.
Clinique Happy for Men Body and Hair Wash
If your dad just absolutely insists on washing his hair and body with the same product then the Clinique Happy for Men Body and Hair Wash (£24.50) is the perfect gift. The citrus-y scent is enough alone to make me want to nab a bottle for myself, too. — Tori Crowther, associate editor
Boy Smells Cedar Stack Candle
"My dad is particular about the beauty products he uses — what can I say? He likes to pretend he's a 'man's man' in between his weekly manicures — but the love for candles must run in the family, because he's a sucker for a good home fragrance. I really didn't want to, but after much debate I finally sent him the Boy Smells Cedar Stack Candle (£37) from the brand's Pride collection. It smells like what you'd imagine from a campfire in the middle of a flower garden (which is to say: delicious) and I'd like nothing more than to keep it in my NYC apartment, but I suppose in the spirit of Father's Day, it's the smallest sacrifice I can make for all he's done for me." — Kelsey Castañon, senior beauty editor
Akt Six Month Subscription
Akt is a premium London-born skincare label that creates gorgeous aluminium-free deodorant balms. I have tried many natural deodorants and, honestly, they've always disappointed me — that was, until Akt entered my life. For starters, the packaging is gorgeous (and definitely gift-worthy for Father's Day), plus it's all recyclable and the deodorant itself comes in an aluminium tube that's also recyclable. When I tell you this stuff works, I mean it. I can wear it for a full 24 hours (even through workouts) and have absolutely no whiff, plus the scents are gender-neutral, clean, and not too strong. This Akt Six Month Subscription (£46) is the perfect gift for Father's Day. — Ange Law, assistant editor
Byredo Bibliotheque Candle
"I've been eyeing this Byredo Bibliotheque Candle (£59) since it first came out. The scent is warm and cosy and everything I want my apartment to smell like forever and always, and Byredo is just the chicest of the chic. I'm buying it for my husband for Father's Day, but really I'm buying it for myself." — Dawn Spinner Davis, senior editorial director, Group Nine Media
Harry's The Winston Razor Handle
"I can't think of a more unisex gift that I wouldn't mind snagging a few of for myself than a nice, quality razor. The Harry's The Winston Razor Handle (£18) has a heavier weight to it and a rubber grip which makes it feel good in your hand. It features five blades to give you a clean, close shave and is designed for the face but it works just as well on your legs. For Father's Day, you can engrave it with up to three letters." — Jessica Harrington, associate beauty editor
Urban Apothecary Smoked Leather diffuser
If your dad isn't the candle type, why not gift him a diffuser instead? The saffron, cedarwood, and leather notes in the Urban Apothecary Smoked Leather Diffuser (£40) make it hard not to love. — TC
Lumin Skin The Complete Skincare Gift Set
"Lumin Skin The Complete Skincare Gift Set (£127) is compact and really easy to apply with the serums being in convenient roller ball tubes. All of the products just have a nice clean and fresh scent, so anyone can use them. I am personally obsessed with the charcoal cleanser." — Lauren Hendrickson, head of shop and affiliate growth
