We know what you’re thinking. Your dad, husband or brother wouldn’t be caught dead applying under eye cream or getting a pedicure. That’s okay because believe us, most Spa Boys are not created overnight. We’ve found it takes a few mud masks, body scrubs and high-end shampoos to push a regular, down and dirty guy over to the spa side. We’ve picked out some of the manliest products we could find for every type of Dad. And remember, if you still think the big guy won’t turn cartwheels over a bar of soap, sneak in a shampoo or body wash along with the barbecue.
