Yes, ZIRH
If Dad's not already familiar with ZIRH, he's in for a real treat this Father's Day. ZIRH is one of the most popular men's only skincare lines around. And, to further validate our love affair with ZIRH, it was was recently awarded "Best Men's Product" award in the 2009 CEW Awards. Brian Robinson, the president of ZIRH gets it - men are nowadays just as conscious of their appearance as women, but they don't want all the hassle or embarrassment that comes with picking out the right products. ZIRH recognizes the fact that Men and women's skins are not alike, and thus women's products do not have the same effect on men's skin. The no-fuss, no-hassle line of products is perfect for for men who care about their looks, want healthy skin, but don't want a complicated skin-care regimen. Everything down to the names of the products are simple - they are called exactly what they do! They even have on their website a handy "personal skin expert" which ask questions like "Do you suffer from acne or breakouts" and "Do you have puffiness or dark circles under your eyes?" From the answers, the website calculates which products each individual's skin will benefit from.
