This June, we celebrate fathers – the men who have made an important impact on our lives. Whether the man you admire is your dad, husband, a father figure or even your grandfather – they all deserve the very best this Father’s Day.
Instead of buying him a stereotypical set of golf clubs, tie or shaving kit this year, why not treat Dad to the gift of healthy skin? Every father is unique, so here’s our take on four types of dads and our pick of Eminence Organic Skin Care products tailored to suit his lifestyle needs.
The Outdoor Dad | The Busy Dad | The Relaxed Dad | The Health-Conscious Dad
1. The Outdoor Dad
The outdoor dad is always up for adventure. You’ll find him cycling, hiking, gardening or doing anything that involves a healthy dose of fresh air. Although outdoor dads are generally focused on their physical health, the condition of their skin might tell another story. Constant exposure to the elements (like the sun, wind, water or snow) might leave their skin dry, weathered and often sun damaged.
If your dad spends a lot of time outdoors, it’s essential to protect against UV exposure, with sun care like our Radiant Protection SPF Fluid. Provide these men with an additional dose of moisture with the Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 to prevent chapped lips. Lastly, the Echinacea Recovery Cream is a luxurious cream that will help your dad’s skin appear hydrated and healthy thanks to yarrow and primrose oil.

2. The Busy Dad
You’ll find the busy dad with his hands full, either taking care of the kids, travelling to his next meeting or even both. These dads are juggling multiple responsibilities, and they look for convenience and quality when it comes to their techy gadgets and even their skin care needs.
From balancing family life with early morning workouts and late-night meetings, the Bamboo Firming Fluid will help firm up tired-looking skin. This formula is infused with natural ingredients like bamboo, coconut and a Natural Retinol Alternative that reveals a youthful-looking complexion.
Whether he’s a stay-at-home father or works outside the home, all busy dads will find the convenience of the Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser appealing. This cleanser contains charcoal and malachite gemstones which draw out oil, dirt and other substances from clogged pores. He will also love the Stone Crop Hydrating Mist if he wants to make his skin appear more hydrated, smooth and moisturized. The key ingredient, stone crop, provides hydration and nourishes the look of the skin.

3. The Relaxed Dad
The Relaxed Dad, is a laid-back, no-fuss kind of guy. He enjoys staying close to home and spending quality time with his family, walking the dog, watching the game, or reading a good book. Most relaxed dads prefer a BBQ with a few close friends over a fancy dinner. They definitely want to keep things simple when it comes to their skin care routine.
When looking at products for relaxed dads, think convenience and simplicity. Our Stone Crop Gel Wash and our Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Masque are the perfect match for an easygoing dad’s skin care routine. For instance, our Stone Crop Gel Wash easily washes away impurities and minimizes the appearance of breakouts while providing deep hydration. The Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Masque harnesses the natural power of vitamins C and E and a blend of citrus, leafy greens and avocado oil to help reduce the look of drying environmental damage, as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
You can also gift the Relaxed Dad with an additional dose of moisture with the Kombucha Microbiome Leave-On Masque, a rich, slow-absorbing mask designed to visibly renew the appearance of the skin while supporting the moisture barrier. Ideal for all skin types, this mask will help dad’s skin appear hydrated and healthy.
4. Health Conscious dad
This dad likes to look after his health and keep active. Make this the year that you leave behind boring standbys like socks and ties for exceptional gifts that boost his health and wellness. Whether he’s a gym-goer or training for a half-ironman, you can help keep his skin healthy with the Lemon Grass Cleanser. The olive oil, sunflower and flax seed in our Lemon Grass Cleanser gently remove impurities while organic and Biodynamic® herbal ingredients make it suitable for sensitive skin types.
The Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum contains antioxidants to help brighten the appearance of the skin and improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It also offers citrus fruit oils (lemon and grapefruit) that tone and refresh the skin’s appearance.
Lastly, the Lilikoi Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 40 is perfect for people who are worried about blue light emitting from devices. This Daily Defense Moisturizer offers SPF 40 all-mineral protection to improve the appearance of skin exposed to blue-light stress and pollution. It’s also suitable for all skin types.
