Dad Deserves Care Too: Supportive Self-Care Tips for the Men

Let’s take a moment to talk about the guys who show up.

Not just the ones who built your first bike or taught you how to change a tire (though, yes, thank you for that too!). We’re talking about the dads, stepdads, grandpas, uncles, big brothers, and those special mentors who offer quiet wisdom, belly laughs, perfectly timed dad jokes, and rock-solid support when life gets a little too real.

These are the men who may never ask for help, never admit when they’re tired, and rarely treat themselves—but show up with love, loyalty, and duct tape anyway.

This month, we’re flipping the script. Instead of just thanking Dad, let’s support him—because even the strongest among us need a little love and care.

And that’s exactly what our Dad’s Care Kit is all about.

Dad’s Care Kit – A Free Resource for the Everyday Hero

This isn’t a product box or a fancy gift set—though he probably wouldn’t mind some new grilling tools or golf socks. This is a free, thoughtful guide filled with realistic, feel-good self-care ideas specifically designed to fit into Dad’s already packed routine.

Because let’s be honest—if self-care feels like a spa day, most dads will skip it. But if it looks like a few drops of essential oil before a workout, a calming routine after a long day, or a checklist to make life feel more manageable? Now we’re talking.

Here’s a sneak peek into what he’ll find in the Dad’s Care Kit:

Everyday Energy Boosters (Because Dad Never Stops)

Easy essential oil blends to kickstart his morning (because coffee can only do so much).
Quick tips for staying focused and productive—whether he’s fixing a leaky faucet or helping with algebra homework.
Fun Fact: Peppermint oil has been shown to enhance alertness and reduce fatigue. Add a drop to his car diffuser and watch him conquer the day like a boss.

Strong Body, Clear Mind

Gentle ways to support his physical health—think: magnesium-rich snacks, stretching routines that won’t feel like yoga, and supplements to help him feel strong, not sluggish.
Quick wins for managing stress on-the-go. (Like box breathing in the Home Depot parking lot. Yes, it works.)
Scenario: He’s spent the weekend fixing the garage door, assembling IKEA furniture, and coaching Little League. Give him tools to recover like the MVP he is.

Wind-Down Routines He’ll Actually Use

Relaxing blends to ease tension after a long day—especially for the dad who “doesn’t do candles” but secretly loves the smell of cedarwood and bergamot.
Simple evening rituals: a 10-minute reset routine, a mindful shower practice, or a “turn-your-brain-off” playlist.
Bonus Tip: Lavender isn’t just for grandma. It can lower cortisol levels and help him sleep better—without the grogginess.

Essential Oils for Dads: Not Just for Diffusers!

When you think of essential oils, you might picture spa days and bubble baths—but let’s set the record straight: essential oils are just as much for rugged, hardworking dads as they are for anyone else.

In fact, oils like Peppermint, Frankincense, Copaiba, and Tea Tree are powerhouses when it comes to skin support, muscle recovery, energy, and even emotional balance.

Here are a few ways Dad can put them to work:

Post-Shave Hero
Peppermint + Frankincense = a refreshing aftershave that soothes skin and boosts confidence.

Workout Recovery Wingman
Copaiba and PanAway® help ease sore muscles after a tough session—or a long day fixing everything in the house.

Focus Fuel
Need to tackle a project or stay sharp at work? A drop of Peppermint or Shutran™ on the wrists or neck can sharpen the mind and uplift the mood.

Beard Boss Moves
Shutran™ Beard Oil isn’t just grooming—it’s self-care that smells like “I've got this.”

Fun Fact:
Essential oils like Frankincense were used by warriors in ancient times for both physical and emotional strength. So yes, your dad and Roman soldiers have something in common.

Why It Matters: Care Isn't Just for Women and Wellness Gurus

We talk a lot about self-care, but it’s often marketed toward women—leaving dads out of the conversation. And yet, studies show that men benefit just as much (if not more) from consistent, intentional self-care practices.

When dads feel better, they parent better.
When dads are rested, they partner better.
When dads feel supported, they show up with even more energy, laughter, and love.

Whether it’s a mentor who guided you through your career, a grandpa who taught you how to fish, or the guy who’s been keeping your world spinning in a million invisible ways—he deserves to be cared for too.
