21 Best Body Lotions for Men

You can just call this one the miracle worker for wildly-cracked skin. Apply just a tiny amount of this creamy hydrating lotion after your shower to feel the results of silky-soft skin from the unique mixture of cocoa butter, squalane, and beta-carotene.

Testing Notes: We love how rich this cream feels. At the same time, it’s not too thick or sticky, which is common in richer creams. We personally love the fragrance, which smells fresh and natural—not overly feminine. Because it’s so rich, you don’t need to use a ton of product to moisturize your whole body, and we found that one bottle lasts us a good six months to a year.

As one of Walmart’s top choices, this superstar lotion will give you the extra strength you need to combat crazy-cracked skin. Claiming to heal problem areas in just five days thanks to micro-drops of Vaseline jelly, it absorbs quickly into the skin for a non-greasy finish.

Testing Notes: We found that this lotion works best when you use it more regularly. It sinks into the skin quickly, but if your skin is super dry, it might take a few days to completely heal any dry patches. There are better lotions for immediate relief, but if you can commit to adding this lotion into your daily routine, you’ll get the results you want at an affordable price.

Cool down after that sweat sesh with this Jack Black lotion that has ingredients like vitamin E, jojoba oil, and most noteworthy, menthol to soothe overheated and dry skin.

Testing Notes: We love how refreshing this lotion feels to apply. Not only does the menthol have a slightly herby, minty smell, but it also has a cooling effect that we found helped to relieve sore muscles. This body lotion is one we always reach for after a tough workout.

Consider this a spa-like treatment for your skin. Tatcha’s milky body cream has a lightweight finish that still deeply hydrates. Come winter, layer this over your favorite lotion for extra moisture. We also love its calming peach tree scent. Great for gifting.

Testing Notes: This body lotion is unlike anything we’ve tried before. The consistency is very thin and milky, not creamy like traditional body lotions. Because the texture is so lightweight, it sinks deep into the skin almost immediately, and left our skin feeling more hydrated without that lotion-y film that thicker creams tend to leave behind. In our opinion, this justifies the price, because it gives you that deeply hydrated feeling without any greasy residue.

For those simple dudes that don’t want to mess around with a cabinet full of products, this inexpensive unscented pick is for you. With an aloe-enriched base, it soothes your skin while moisturizing to restore health in your body, face, and post-shave. Triple-the-action for under $9? It’s already like a done deal.

Testing Notes: Our favorite way to use this lotion is on tattoos that are still healing. It’s unscented, so it won’t sting or burn your sensitive newly tatted skin. We used this daily for the first 1-2 weeks post-tattoo, and we loved how easy it was to use that we kept using it long after the tattoo healed. It’s basic in the best way, which makes it great for everyday use.

It’s not just the affordable price tag that makes this everyday essential a winner. Comprised of seven different moisturizers that are mixed to perfection, it lasts up to 24 hours after applying to keep your skin nourished all day long.

Testing Notes: This is the kind of body lotion that you can use every day and not ever get tired of it. It moisturizes on contact and doesn’t leave your skin looking shiny or greasy. The smell isn’t anything to write home about but it’s gentle, mild, and fades quickly.

Enriched with natural hemp seed oil, along with shea butter and vitamins A, C, and E, this paraben-free vegan lotion has a 4.3-star review on Amazon because it actually works to calm and nourish the skin, and will also reduce any sort of redness or inflammation.

Testing Notes: We love a simple body lotion like this one from Hempz because it can easily slide into your daily routine, which is how you really improve your skin texture, tone, and softness. Although some people may find the smell of the hemp seed oil overpowering, we actually enjoy the herbal aroma.

Developed by dermatologists, CeraVe’s Daily Moisturizing Lotion was designed to simply get the job done by providing 24-hour relief from your dry, itchy skin. It’s also oil fragrance-free for those of you looking for a product that’s a bit more discreet.

Testing Notes: We love this body lotion for sensitive, eczema-prone skin because it’s unscented and it won’t clog your pores. It feels immediately soothing on the skin and locks in moisture all day long so you don’t have to worry about reapplying on dry patches later in the day. It’s one of our favorite picks for body lotions under $15, and our top pick for anyone that has both sensitive and dry skin.

Light in weight yet heavy-duty in results, it just takes a small amount of Malin Goetz’s popular quick-absorbing lotion to soften your skin thanks to a natural mix of pro-vitamin B5, essential fatty acids, and allantoin. The luxurious masculine scent also sets this staple apart from the rest.

Testing Notes: The first thing we noticed about this body lotion was the intoxicatingly fresh smell, but the lotion itself is just as impressive. It feels very soft and smooth and massages in easily. It’s not too thick and doesn’t feel runny or watery. We love using this body lotion right out of the shower to really seal in hydration and restore the skin’s protective barrier.

Don’t let the 3-in-1 design fool you, this Everyone lotion doesn’t compromise on efficacy. Using nutrient-rich plant extracts and vitamin E, it works triple-duty to soften your hands, face, and body moisturized. The mint fragrance is balanced with a hint of citrus for a gentle scent.

Testing Notes: A few pumps of this body lotion is all you need to quench dry skin. We love leaving this one out on our nightstand or at our desk to quickly rehydrate, especially for dry, cracked hands. The strong scent reinvigorates the skin and the senses.
