Because dads need a little pampering, too.
Open Image Modal

From serums to ice rollers, products that care for your skin are in — no matter who you are. As Father’s Day approaches, you may be looking for a thoughtful present to give the dad in your life. Whether he already has a face routine of his own or uses Dial hand soap to cleanse his hair, face and body, gifting your dad an upgraded version of his everyday skin care is the perfect gift for 2023.

From oil-free sunscreens to artisanal aftershaves, these are the best skin care gifts to give the dads, daddys and all-gender zaddys in your life this spring. Some are scented, some come in sleek packaging, but all are fuss-free, super universal high-quality products that make for great presents. We included items for shaving, stinky feet, dry skin and, yes, even a fancier version of the classic all-in-one body wash, shampoo and conditioner combo.

Whether you’re treating your dad, step-dad, husband, partner, godfather or general father figure, we know they’ll love an incentive to pamper themselves and take care of their skin.

1
A little bit fancier men's three-in-one
To elevate the all-in-one game, this shampoo, conditioner, beard and body wash comes in whimsical spirits-style bottles in attractive scents like tobacco and mahogany. It's a little more than he would probably spend on his own soap, but won't break the bank.
2
A two-pack of extra-strength hand cream
The best way to ensure someone actually takes care of their skin? Make sure they actually have the right products around them. This two-pack of super-intense hand cream lets dad keep one in his car or work bag and one at home. It's made to relieve dry and cracked hands, whether from manual labor or intense Excel sheet-making.
3
An upgraded body lotion in a good-looking container
What smells good, feels good and will look nice on a dresser? Why, this Jack Black Cool Moisture body lotion. With vitamin E and jojoba oil, it gives moisture to dry skin and absorbs quickly so he won't feel greasy or sticky.
4
A super hydrating but lightweight face moisturizer
If your dad works in a harsh environment or spends a lot of time outside, his face may be needing a little care. When we spoke to Andrew Capobianco, a professional diver and 2020 Olympic silver medalist, he recommended La Roche-Posay Toleriane facial moisturizer, saying it helps his face recover from sun and chlorine and doesn't clog his pores or cause irritation.
5
The HommeFace daily trio for dads that like routine
We get it: Not every dad is looking for a multi-step routine. Yet, if you know someone who's interested in taking care of his skin and doesn't mind a little repetition, this beloved trio from HommeFace is the gift that keeps on giving. It includes a daily face wash, spray toner and non-greasy face moisturizer to leave skin clean and hydrated.
6
Barbershop-worthy shave cream
Move over, mulch-scented shave gel from the metal squirt container! This elevated shave cream has an alluring sandalwood scent and works to protect the face from razor burn or irritation and hydrate dry skin.
7
And some hydrating aftershave
To really seal the deal, follow up with this sandalwood-scented aftershave balm that works to hydrate beards and mustaches and nourish skin.
8
A tea tree multi-use product for body and hair
We've spoken to cosmetic chemists about the benefits of tea tree oil before, and we love it for soothing and clarifying both hair and skin. Another universal product, this moisturizer works as a leave-in-conditioner, aftershave, beard balm and body lotion, giving skin a cooling, tingling peppermint burst.
9
An elevated sunscreen that's water-resistant and reef-safe
Especially in the warmer months, skin care means sun care. Andrew Mollerus, a U.S. Sailing team 49er athlete, put us on to Harken Derm sunscreen (the brand sponsors the U.S. Sailing team) calling it the "only product that stays on all day and protects me in the harshest environments." It's pricer than a drug store sunscreen, making it a great option for a present.
10
An electric callus shaver to keep his feet from looking like a hobbit's
The dads in your life may spend a lot of time on their feet. This rechargeable, electric callus shaver nixes cracks and calluses, keeping their feet soft and smooth, not crusty and leathery.
11
A good-looking tube of antiperspirant foot lotion
Is there a loving way to tell the dad in your life that his feet stink? Probably not. But this "antiperspirant foot lotion" may be the hidden gem he needs. It'll reduce foot sweat and stink, and keep both feet and shoes from becoming reminiscent of toxic waste.

A personalized leather dopp kit
Where's a man to put all his new products? In this gorgeous, personalized leather travel kit, of course. It does take a few days to ship out, so you want to order soon for it to arrive by June 18. It's a handsome-looking leather good fit for any type of dad.

A portable George Foreman grill(02 of29)

This comes with nonstick coating and five adjustable temperature settings.

Promising review: "This is the perfect grill for my apartment balcony. It was easy to clean and it's really nonstick. In comparison to other brands, this actually heats up the plate instead of heating lights. It cooked really well and was very easy to install. I would definitely recommend to purchase this if you have a small balcony." — Amazon customer

A set of four color-changing inflatable pool balls(03 of29)
Open Image Modal
Each light cycles through red, blue, white, and green.

Promising review: "My pool is so old school and boring that I bought these to liven it up and what a difference!! My pool went from 'meh' to WOW! The balls are easily inflated by mouth like a beach ball. Once inflated, a few hours in the sun and they are charged and ready to go. They light up after dusk (it has to be rather dark). There is no manual way to power them on or off; they glow all night long. The changing colors are vibrant and very beautiful. They have a loop at the top if you would like to hang them. They would be magical hanging in a tree or from a pergola. I really liked how easy these were to fill and charge, and I like the solar power and the amazing color display. They make my inner child happy." — J. Matheson

Promising review: "I am now the proud owner of THREE of these dog pools. I have an XXL, an XL, and an S pool for our backyard 'frogs' that wouldn't stay out of the big pools! Yes, I bought the frogs their own pool...that's how amazing these pools are! We had the XXL and XL pools out every day last summer (changed the water twice per week) and they were used daily by all three dogs. There have been no punctures of any sort or any issues at all with these pools, and my dogs can play pretty rough at times. The XXL pool was used for both the 2018 and 2019 summers with no issues. These pools are literally my dogs' favorite part of summer... I can't keep them out of them! As soon as we get back from a walk, they jump right in!" — Kate M

A inflatable pool with a built-in bench(05 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Good size. I'm 5'4 and I bought it for my 3-year-old and 2-year-old for the spring and summer. I didn't need anything huge; I have a nice size deck and we spend a lot of time on the deck so I wanted something big enough for them to have some wiggle room to keep cool but not too big so it wouldn't take up to much room. I also purchased an outdoor grass rug to put it on to protect the bottom of it and keep it from getting splinters (just a suggestion if you plan on using on the deck). It has a drain plug so cleaning and getting fresh water is not hard at all." — Majestic 0220

A sunshade triangle(06 of29)

Promising review: "My pool is awesome when it gets into the 100s of degrees here in California. We decided to grab a 20x20x20 triangle and holy cow does it do a number on the backyard! Not only does it keep my pool better-shaded, but it also keeps the sun off of my back patio during the hottest part of the day."The Tiki Lab

Best Balcony Bars makes...the best balcony bars, whether you're looking for space-saving outdoor furniture or you want to turn your patio into the place to be. This bar is available in two sizes and four stains.

Promising review: "Beautiful, hand-crafted, custom-fit to my railing. Creator is great to deal with on a custom piece. Everyone compliments it. I eat or have drinks on it every day and prefer it to eating at my dining room table! The second tier is ideal serving dishes, glasses, bottles, and the main tier is ideal for main dishes, computers, and notebooks while optimizing my patio functionality and keeping me at my serene view throughout my day. Great custom piece!" —Travis Horn

An umbrella light(08 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "When I bought this, it was totally on a whim. I was convinced that because it was so inexpensive, it would be a cheap piece of junk! Was I wrong! It does a great job of lighting up the table with the three different settings. AND, if you turn it upside-down, you can further vary the brightness. (Sometimes you just want a hint of a glow, rather than a spotlight in your face.) I'm very happy with this, especially since I left it out all summer long with no issues. It was hidden under a closed umbrella, but I'm sure it got a little damp with rainwater and it survived! For just $10, it is such an easy solution for my patio that has no electricity, and therefore, needs something battery powered." — LouiseN

Promising review: "These lights were easy to install and look great in on our deck. We just had a pool built and needed some light on the steps of the deck so we could see walking up the steps at night. They're beautiful without too much light." — BJ

Promising review: "I am so happy to have this mosquito repellent. I wanted something for my back patio in the evenings. This is so pleasant! Everyone comments about the scent; it’s not offensive like other nasty repellent sprays or candles." — Namaste

And a high-voltage bug zapper(11 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "You will not be disappointed. I just moved out to the country and have been working out in the garage late at night. With the weather getting warmer, I've had the garage doors opened and mosquitos, gnats, and everything else have been finding there way into my garage, so I had to do something about it. I bought this and hung it next to my garage door opener because there's an outlet there and it is way better than expected. I have dead bees, stink bugs, gnats, mosquitoes, and other bugs that I do not know what they are. My 8-year-old son keeps asking me to remove the bottom tray so he can see all of the dead bugs that got zapped. Again, you will not be disappointed, I'm extremely happy I bought this!" — Chris & Jenny

A robot lawn mower(12 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I have to say I was skeptical with buying the Worx Landroid over the other competitors due to it being so cheap (relative). Set up took me about four hours to lay 1,000 linear feet (had to buy more from Lowes) but it very straight forward and a breeze. The mower currently has cut 60 miles and has run for 80 hours with very minimal hiccups. My yard looks like carpet and no areas require touch up due to the fact that this mower gets right up to the edge. My yard is relatively flat (.45 acres of grass) and open with no obstacles. I highly recommend this guy and saving your money over the other guys!" — Jeremy

Promising review: "I really researched and shopped around before I purchased this from Amazon. I cooked my first pizza on it and it came out like a pro!! We will be using this especially during the summer as it pretty much stay in the triple digits here (the Mojave Desert). I cannot believe it took less than 10 minutes to bake an entire pizza. I recommend that you go to the KettlePizza website to get pointers from some of the celebrity chefs that they have videos of. These pointers really did help me to cook a perfect pizza!" — Kim Suzanne

A cozy hanging swing(15 of29)

Available in two styles and four colors.

Promising review:
"Worth every single dollar spent. I have used it for several hours per day, just wasting time away as I swing to and fro. I would need to use it for a few more weeks to numerically reach the threshold of worthiness equivalent to the price tag, but the item itself is fantastic." — Sophia

Promising review: "This was the first grill brush I'd ever found that actually got in between the bars in the grates. Really got out the residue that builds up in between and flares up if not completely removed. Really impressed. I'd order again, for sure." — Fred

Promising review:
"It keeps cold wind and leaves out and some heat in. There are zip vents at top to let in fresh air and two zipper doors. This has extended the season for hot tub use, we were able to set up in early March in Chicago area. Would also be fun for around a small picnic table and to sit outside in the rain." — Lisa F1969

A waterproof Bluetooth speaker(18 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Super easy to set up, charge, pair, and listen. There’s a built-in loop, so I can attach it to my bike for outdoor cycling, a hook in the bathroom for steamy tunes, or my bag for picnics and hikes. Clear sound for listening to both music and spoken word (of course I tested both). Lovely color and sleek overall look with a range of over 30 feet. I can’t wait to bring this to the beach during the NYC summer months. True to product description." — Aminah (credit:www.amazon.com)

Promising review: "I absolutely love this for our pool. We attached it to the side of our above-ground pool and it holds all our floaties! I was actually thinking of getting another one if we get any more floats! It's awesome and well-made, and has several small compartments on the side too (for goggles and diving things)! I am in love with it, and it makes the yard seem neater!" — kitty

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based, family-owned small business.

Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy.

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG

Promising review:
"Great set for the price! I needed a smaller chair and table set for my front porch as it is not very wide and this was perfect. Sturdy build and comfortable. Not hard to put together: all pieces were included and the instructions were easy. Can’t wait to sit outside with a cup of coffee and watch the cars drive by." — DEBBIE JACKSON

A pair of scum-absorbing sponge(25 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Worked perfectly. Gathered all the gunk in my hot tub and was easier to clean than my other sponges. The turtle shape, while cute, is actually really important because the head and limbs increase the surface area thus providing more ability to absorb oils and gunk than other sponges. Ten minutes with the jets on and these gathered up all the surface oils so I could have guests over and show off my shiny clear hot tub." —Jack

A 4-piece outdoor drink stake set(26 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "These are great. They are large enough to hold large drink tumblers like a Yeti, they will hold a beer with a thick foam cozy, they will hold a giant Fosters can, and yes, it is large enough to hold a bottle of wine. They are made out of metal and seem pretty durable. Each one is two pieces that screw together and they have a small tab to help you push them into the ground with your feet. The only thing I would improve is to make the foot tab a little larger, otherwise they have my stars." — Jamawama

A 4-in-1 inflatable pool float(27 of29)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Got this on a whim after reading some reviews. I didn't expect it to immediately become the fam's new favorite! Lay back and you are half in, half out of the water so you aren't baking from above or freezing below — just what we wanted. It holds your head well out of the water and feels very supportive/stable. I've had it for about a month now and only had to blow it up the first time, the plastic is fairly thick and doesn't lose air through seams or the nozzle. We have a full-body foam float that cost about $120 and it never gets used any more. Everybody takes turns on this one. Great deal for the price; I just bought three more of various colors. Go ahead and try it." — JB

Promising review: "I ordered this product because every spring and summer we have problems with flies and maggots in the garbage can. The device has been on my garbage can lid for a few days now. It survived the weekly trash pickup. As for whether or not this device works: Let me tell you: NO FLIES, NO MAGGOTS!!! This product works well. Just be careful when applying the adhesive strip." — MRS. PATRICIA A NELSON

A hanging curved lounge chair(29 of29)

Available in eight colors.

Promising review:
"The only problem I have with this chair is that I only have one of them and the whole family now fights over it! Seriously, it is THAT comfortable and relaxing. Pretty easy to put together. My husband got it all assembled in less than an hour and then proceeded to open up a beer and fall asleep in it next to the pool, HA! I like to take my laptop out with me and work in it as the moveable umbrella shades my screen. Love love LOVE it!!" — Erin S
