If your dad is anything like mine, he probably doesn’t know about the trendiest new moisturizer, or celeb-loved cleanser the internet can’t stop raving about. His skin care may just consist of two or three items that he loves (chances are, basic soap) and has been using for years because they’re simple and “do the job.” But that doesn’t mean that he can’t benefit from using a vitamin C serum or an exfoliating face wash.
In fact, more and more men (or folks who identify has male) are taking interest in beefing up their skin care, according to a recent study by Statista, and retailers are following suit. As a result, the men’s personal care market is expected to hit $27.5 billion by 2025. But despite this upward trend, it’s not that easy to convince Dad to try a new body wash. That said, we’ve curated a few essentials that dads can pack into their skin-care routine and diversify their arsenal—for Father’s Day, and beyond.

As far as convenience goes, it doesn’t get any better than this body wash from Every Man Jack. It’s a shampoo, conditioner, and body wash wrapped up into one.
