Lush grooming products to keep Dad looking and feeling his best

(14/04/2010)

Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics has a whole selection of men’s grooming products to keep dad looking and feeling his best. Not only do they work wonders with his appearance, but they don’t cost the earth either, in more ways than one.

Choose from the following and wrap them all up in one of Lush’s Knot Wrap scarves (£3.95) for the perfect Father’s Day gift, which dad can then keep to use as a hankie.

COSMETIC LAD (£10.10 for 50g pot)
A gently soothing multi-purpose moisturiser for men, containing skin softeners such as shea butter and cocoa butter, along with soothing aloe vera gel that means it can also act as a calming, healing and protective aftershave balm. Alcohol, late nights and exposure to the outdoors can cause skin to dehydrate and Cosmetic Lad will replenish lost moisture and the chamomile and marigold herbs will help to reduce reddening.

SHAVE THE PLANET shaving cream (£5.60 for 100g or £11.10 for 250g)
For those who want to do their bit for the planet whilst keeping their skin soft, smooth and stubble free. A base of softening shea butter and cupuaca butter to leave skin well moisturised. Shea butter has incredible softening properties and moisture retaining abilities. We buy ours from a Women’s Cooperative in Ghana and the project has full accreditation from the International Fair Trade Association and Organic certification. Other skin healing ingredients include Rose absolute, lavender oil, organic jojoba oil and acai juice.

KING OF THE MODS (£6.95 for 100g)
Take dad back to his heyday! This is simply excellent. A softening and moisturising styling gel, to revive and refresh hair and give a soft hold. Containing almond oil and camellia oil for shine and control, along with a blend of grapefruit oil and de-greasing lime.

COALFACE complexion soap (£4.15 for 100g)
Mild facial cleansing bar that helps deep cleanse congested skins, balance sebum production and heal. Contains liquorice for its anti-inflammatory properties and cleansing charcoal, which helps to absorb excess sebum on the surface of the skin, while gently exfoliating. The blend of essential oils includes sandalwood and rosewood which has antiseptic and bactericide properties ideal for all skin types, particularly beneficial for skins prone to breakouts.

OCEAN SALT face and body scrub (£6.10 for 120g or £11.20 for 250g)
Like washing with a tequila slammer! This face and body wash refreshes and polishes the skin with lime and grapefruit infusion, seaweed and granules of sea salt, which as well as stimulating the skin and removing dead surface cells, also contain minerals that are beneficial to the skin. The finely balanced formulation also contains shea butter and cocoa butter to moisturise and combat the more astringent properties of the citrus ingredients.

T-FOR-TOES dusting powder (£6.10)
Keep dad’s feet smelling sweet with this great foot powder to neutralise odours. Bicarbonate of soda absorbs sweat and lime oil and tea tree neutralises the bacteria that cause the nasty whiffs. Also made with walnut leaf, which has traditionally been used to help reduce sweating.

No Lush products are tested on animals; products are solid wherever possible and packaging is kept to a minimum when it’s not; and ingredients are fairly sourced in support of Fair Trade initiatives and community projects. All this and reasonably priced too!
