1. Take him for a haircut. While he probably doesn’t want to spend much time or thought on his hair, his hairstyle contributes greatly to his overall look — for better or worse. Your man needs a haircut that’s easy to maintain and matches his personality. Consider taking him to a professional hairstylist who will assess his features and hair type to suggest a winning look. Styling products such as hair pomades or gels may also be used to complete his new style (strictly masculine in packaging and scent, of course!).
2. Provide him with a men’s grooming kit. Tidy, trimmed sideburns, facial hair and fingernails go a long way toward creating a polished, professional image. Even if he’s a more laid-back kind of guy, every man needs a men’s grooming kit. For a masculine, upscale look, consider a black or brown leather-bound grooming kit. It should include (at minimum) a hair comb, mustache comb, small scissors, nail clippers and nail file. If possible, choose a kit that also includes a battery-operated personal groomer with attachments for a neckline/sideburn trimmer and nose and ear trimmer. If he isn’t already accustomed to such personal grooming, make sure to compliment him whenever he uses the kit to help him warm up to the idea. You can be sure his smile sparkles by giving him Oral-B® Triumph™ with SmartGuide™. It could be the most useful Father's Day gift you've ever given! It not only tells Dad how much you love him, but also how long to brush and when he's brushing too hard.
3. Treat him to a professional massage. Does your man complain of body aches and pains? Consider getting him a professional massage! An increasing number of research studies show massage lowers blood pressure, reduces heart rate, relaxes muscles, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, improves range of motion and increases endorphins. When your man feels happy, pleasant and relaxed, you’ll be surprised what it does for his looks! A gift certificate would make an excellent Father’s Day gift.
4. Spoil him with a luxurious wet shave by a professional barber. A professional wet shave by a barber is the closest thing your man can get to a masculine beauty treatment. It can last half an hour to one hour and is so pleasurable and relaxing that some men even fall asleep! First he’s swathed in a gown and a soft towel is placed around his neck to protect his clothing. The barber assesses his skin type and whether there are likely to be any problems or irritations. His face is then gently massaged. The barber may apply pre-shave oil, then add the shaving soap with a badger-hair brush. The beard is then shaved with a straight-edge razor. The steps are repeated using more steaming towels, ending with a cooler towel and the application of a shaving balm. Many shaves also include powder on the neck and a splash of aftershave. He leaves refreshed, rejuvenated and looking younger — ooh la la! You can even try these steps at home. Excite his senses with Gillette® Fusion™ HydraGel Clean and Fresh. Its aloe and citrus extracts provide a clean, fresh scent.
5. Remake his collection of men’s skin-care products. These days, it’s easy for a man to adjust his daily routine to add a few image-enhancing products. Check your man’s bathroom cabinet to assess what skin-care products — if any — he currently uses. Then consider adding to his collection a moisturizing aftershave balm to soothe and cool his skin, such as Gillette Fusion HydraSoothe™ After Shave Balm. Also make sure he has a face cleanser, body wash, body moisturizer and cologne. For a slap of manhood with its cool, crisp, masculine scent, we recommend the Old Spice® collection. Good skin-care products enhance your looks; they’ll do the same for him too!
