Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads out there. Fathers are so hard to buy gifts for, men in general really. After the basic cologne, polo shirt and sports equipment you start to run out of ideas. Lets face it, those basics only get you through Valentines Day and an Anniversary then you still have to figure something out for Birthday, Fathers Day and Christmas. Men, as the saying goes, can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em. So in honor of Fathers Day here are some men skin gift ideas.
1. Laser hair removal- Does your man have weird hair patches on his back? Or just hate shaving? Buy him a laser hair removal package. Price is dependent on the size of the area being done and he will likely need 3-5 monthly treatments. Now this is a little painful and we all know God didn’t make man able to carry a child for a reason but our laser technician Tasha is an expert and she gets most men through it without a problem.
2. Laser tattoo removal- Did your Dad get a naked lady tattooed on his arm years ago? Does your husband have an ex’s name inked permanently onto his skin? This is the gift that keeps on giving…… to everyone! Get him an ATV laser package to have a tat removed. The ATV laser we use at Johnson Dermatology is new to our laser family and we are seeing amazing results.
3. Bro-tox- Think your man is too manly for Botox? Consider this. We women started the tight jean look and now men are wearing the straight-leg tighter fit. Pink is a stereo-typically girl color, we have worn it since the day we were born. Now it is totally in style, men rock pink all over the runway. It’s just a matter of time before it is socially accepted for men to use Botox too. Tell him he isn’t necessarily metrosexual. Tell him it’s to help him stay competitive in the workplace with all those young new college grads. Tell him he has to keep up with you. Tell him whatever you want, after his first injection he will be hooked.
4. Aftershave balm- Not that fru-fru smells like you just walked in Abercrombie and Fitch stuff. The kind that is good for your skin. I like the Avene After-shave balm because it has purifying ingredients made to prevent bacterial infections, is alcohol free and a rich moisturizer. It will calm razorburn and is good for sensitive skin.
5. A Buff- Okay, seriously I am officially not as cool as I once was, or just don’t watch enough Survivor. A buff is a seamless tube of fabric that you can wear a million ways. It comes in all kinds of decorated fabrics. This weekend alone I have worn mine as a headband, neck gaitor and face mask to protect me from the sun. A wide brim hat can sometimes be difficult for a man to wear, especially during sports events. Your Father can use a buff as a hat liner to protect his ears from the sun and still be stylish in his ball cap. I’m pretty much in love with it and mad that no one told me about it sooner. Go to www.buffusa.com and get one, you’re welcome.
Hope all the Dads out there had an awesome Fathers Day. Next time you have to buy a dude a gift consider a treat for his skin. It is the largest organ in his body, it’s worth taking care of!
Stay skintastic this week and always!
Hope to see you all at the clinic, Nina
