It's not just women who take care of their appearances; increasingly, their male counterparts care about having their skin and hair look their best. Sales of grooming products aimed at men are booming across the board. This includes the niche market of men interested in buying organic, natural skin and hair products.
Lush is one of the best organic skin and hair care companies. Lush has a notably loyal fan base for a reason; the ban on animal testing for their products, along with implementing as many fresh, natural ingredients as possible, leads men and women to feel great about buying their fantastic soaps, lotions, shampoos, and bath treats. Lush has many gift sets: The Lush gift packages that are best for men make for terrific gifts. Only one new skin care set is packaged specifically for men. Any man who takes care of his skin would enjoy receiving these skin care products for his birthday, Father's Day, or any gift-giving occasion.
Overhaul - This is the latest gift set packaged together by Lush, and makes a great Father's Day gift. Each item is energizing in this package. Overhaul includes:
- Ice Blue Soap. The predominant scent in Ice Blue is from organic peppermint oil: This soap makes skin tingly, and leaves faces feeling refreshed, cool, and clean. The sea salt is great for oily skin. Ice Blue is so energizing, it's a great wake-up soap.
- Tramp Shower Gel. This is a dark green shower gel that includes chlorophyll as a natural ingredient. It smells woodsy at first, and there is a distinct undertone of patchouli; a subtle, sexy scent. This is a distinctly masculine shower gel.
- Ambrosia Shaving Cream. This Lush shaving cream doesn't foam; it's not in an aerosol can (aerosols can damage the ozone layer, Lush does not use them). The non-lathering formula is great for sensitive skin. Natural ingredients include honey water, jojoba oil, and something called linseed mucilage (that last sounds questionable, but the cream makes for a clean, fresh scent and close shave).
- Helping Hands Hand Cream. Helping Hands is a thick skin lotion made with organic shea and cocoa butters and natural almond oil. This is one of the best moisturizers in the Lush line, and the almond scent is not at all overwhelming. Helping Hands does a great job softening rough skin.
- Wiccy Magic. The Lush massage bars melt on contact with warm skin, and make for some of the most sexy massages a consumer can find outside of a massage parlor. Wiccy Magic is a favorite; it has a predominantly cinnamon scent, tempered with the other organic ingredients so that the user doesn't smell like a pack of Big Red. Aduli beans in the massage bar add pressure and the cinnamon oil heats the skin, making for a luxurious, hot massage.
- Hybrid Solid Shampoo. Lush makes a line of solid shampoos which are great for traveling: They can be thrown in a travel bag without so much as a raised eyebrow from airline security. Hybrid is a shampoo and conditioner in one, and smells pretty strongly of licorice. A man who travels with Hybrid will need a shampoo tin as well; the solid shampoos get mushy if not dried between uses.
Men who like Lush, will love this skin care gift set. Whether it's used for a refreshing Father's Day, or a sexy birthday massage, the Overhaul will be a gift that bears repeating.
