Admirable
When all the shaving is done, then a good skincare routine is vital for keeping skin smooth and itch-free. Iconic brand Admiral launched a grooming range last year which includes a conditioning deluxe beard balm, a soothing beard wash and a nourishing beard oil. These are great little additions for establishing better grooming habits and makes for a thoughtful gift he might actually use.
The balm conditions facial hair, softening tough and brittle hairs overall making the beard or moustache more manageable, while the wash provides multifunctional skincare benefits such as reducing redness, discomfort and dehydration. Finally, the beard oil penetrates deep into the skin and moisturises the hair, giving the beard a soft overall look and feel, making the facial hair easier to tame and style.

Serum for Improvement
Shaving cream isn’t for everyone and the rise of shaving oils and serums offer an innovative alternative to the foamy mess of old. A finalist at the Pure Beauty Global Awards for Best New Male Skin and Body Care Product is Nadur’s pomegranate and gota kola shaving serum.
Simply warm two to three drops of the serum between palms and apply to moistened skin. Massage into skin creating a light milky texture and shave as normal. Using natural extracts and being cruelty-free, gluten-free and vegan, it manages to still create a greater glide factor for the razor on the skin and aims to reduce the risk of cuts and nicks.

A Fine Trim
A new gadget is always a great idea for Father’s Day, and a pair of clippers to help complete the makeover is a great way to keep his hair looking its best.
JLife has chosen the Wahl Colour Pro cordless clipper from Argos for home hair styling. With the colour coded guide combs, the cordless clipper makes it easy for him to remember his favourite lengths. A 60-minute run time from a single charge will ensure it has enough power to compete cutting and the cordless option allows freedom to move while styling. The ergonomic design, thumb grip and cord-free feature ensures the clipper is comfortable to hold and easy to control during use too.
