If you’re struggling to come up with the perfect gift for Dad, this year why not skip the predictable beer or chocolate and go for something he’ll use and enjoy every day like these Seaweed & Citrus products from Faith In Nature. These are a great practical gift, especially for Dad’s who take pride in their appearance.

Faith In Nature has been around since 1974, long before natural, cruelty free and vegan products were a thing. Founded by Rivka Rose, the brand has stuck to its guns for more than 50 years, making straightforward products with as few ingredients as possible and none of the unnecessary stuff like silicones, parabens or SLS. These days it’s sold in more than 40 countries, which is quite an achievement.

If your dad’s got hair that soon gets greasy, the Seaweed & Citrus range is well worth a look. The shampoo and conditioner (£13.99 for the set or £7.99 individually) are made with rock wrack seaweed that’s hand-harvested off the coast of northern Scotland. Seaweed is packed with nutrients that help keep hair and scalps in good condition and with the addition of citrus oils these products will leave your hair feeling clean and fresh.

The vegan shampoo and conditioner are 99.5% natural origin and are cruelty-free. The ingredients include rosemary oil, nettle which helps add shine and chamomile, which is known for it’s calming properties.  

Faith In Nature are passionate about using only the best quality natural ingredients and the rock wrack seaweed in these products is sustainably harvested in Scotland by trained specialists who follow strict environmental practices, ensuring the surrounding ecosystem remains healthy and allowing the seaweed to regenerate naturally for future harvests.

The coastal inspired theme continues with the Seaweed & Citrus Body Wash (£6.49).  With the same fragrance as the hair products this body wash creates a creamy lather which leaves your skin feeling clean, refreshed and invigorated.

The formula is enriched with oat extract which gently soothes and soften the skin along with limeflower extract which has calming and antioxidant properties. It also contains Elderberry extract which brings a wealth of naturally occurring bioflavonoids that help support healthy-looking skin and contribute to an overall feeling of wellbeing.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift isn’t always easy, especially with the cost of living still squeezing budgets. Aftershave is always a good present to buy and with so many different fragrances available it’s easy to find one that suits both your dad’s personality and your budget. Superdrug have some brilliant offers on at the moment, so whether your Dad likes something classic, fresh and clean or a little more sophisticated there’s plenty to choose from without spending a fortune. These two are a couple of my favourites and both are currently reduced – which is even better!

The Artiscent Male Gift Set (usually £10 and currently £5) contains three 20ml fragrances Cedar Blanc, Musk Dore and Vettiver Arome, all created in Paris, the home of prestige perfumery. They come in smart dark blue glass bottles and are surprisingly good dupes for Paco Rabanne Invictus, Paco Rabanne 1 Million and Bleu de Chanel. The fragrances are fresh, wearable and ideal for everyday use and while they don’t quite have the staying power of the designer versions, they’re a fraction of the price. The smaller bottles are also perfect for chucking into a washbag or gym bag, making them ideal for travelling too. Whether your dad prefers crisp and sporty scents or something slightly warmer and muskier, this set gives him a few different options to try without the designer price tag attached.

If you’d rather go for a recognisable designer fragrance, then Versace The Dreamer is a really good buy. Ordinarily the 100ml bottle retails at £78, but it is currently on offer at Superdrug for only £21.84, which is an absolute bargain. With fresh notes of juniper, tarragon and artemisia, balanced with softer floral hints of iris and lily and a warm amber and tobacco base, Versace The Dreamer is one of those really easy fragrances to wear because it feels fresh and masculine without being too heavy or overpowering. Whether Dad wears it for work, weekends or going out for dinner, it’s the kind of classic scent that never really goes out of style,
