When it comes to men’s lotion, it is quite hard to find ones that suit their taste. Most lotions have a feminine smell but Bath and Body Works provide with lotions that appeal to men, especially from their signature collections. That is why I have searched the market with my significant other and settled on these lotions and categorized them accordingly! He was my test subject for this particular review so think of me as a proxy for the reviews he has given for these products!

Features
Lightweight texture: no greasy feeling on your body
Shea butter goodness: keeps your skin moisturized with shea butter
Vitamin E soothing: keeps your body soothed and smoothed with vitamin E
How to use
When you are applying this lotion to your body, make sure your skin is slightly damp after drying from a shower. Then apply the lotion in board downward strokes all across the body and then massage the rest in. If you applied too much lotion, you can pat it off with a clean towel. Make sure to apply extra on the elbows, knees, and ankles as the skin there is thicker than the rest.
Expert Verdict
When you are in need of a lotion that will give you the moisturization you require for the day, look no further than the Bath and Body Works, Body Lotion Teakwood! It will keep your body nicely moisturized with the help of shea butter and coconut oil. Not to mention the coconut oil infused with vitamin E will also keep your body smooth and soothed throughout the day. It will also work especially well for healing any small scars you might have on your body. The scent is really nice too, a really manly cologne smell that is not overpowering at all. However, the scent loses its potency after a couple of hours. So if you are looking for a fragrance lotion this isn’t it. However, the fact it does everything else so well, even for the face, sets it apart from all other Bath and Body Works lotions on this list!
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| All day moisturization | Fragrance lasts only a couple of hours at most |
| Vitamin E coconut oil for soothing skin | |
| Nice woodsy cologne smell for men | |
| Safe to use on the face too |

Expert Verdict
When you need a fragrance that lasts you all day, you can be sure that the Bath & Body Works Lotion Ocean For Men will keep that ocean breeze smell on you all day! The great thing about this product is that it uses jojoba oil which will prevent your skin from drying out and the shea butter will keep the skin hydrated all day. The only downside to this product is that it is quite lightweight so don’t expect the deep moisturization that the teakwood lotion provides with coconut oil. However, expect a good all-day fragrance instead!
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| All-day smell | Not deep enough moisturization |
| Dry skin prevention | |
| Moisturized |
3. Best Argan Oil – Bath and Body Works Freshwater Body Lotion
Specification
- Skin Type: All
- Item Form and Package: Lotion; Bottle with a press cap
- Material Type Free: Paraben and artificial dye-free
- Liquid Volume: 8 fl oz. (236 ml)

Description
Get smoother and silkier skin with the help of argan oil in Bath and Body Works Freshwater Body Lotion!
Features
Anti-aging benefits: keep the skin nice and tight with argan oil
Moisturization: benefit from keeping your skin hydrated all-day
Blemish reducing: reduces the appearance of scars on your body
How to use
When you are applying this lotion to your body, make sure your skin is slightly damp after drying from a shower. Then apply the lotion in board downward strokes all across the body and then massage the rest in. If you applied too much lotion, you can pat it off with a clean towel. Make sure to apply extra on the elbows, knees, and ankles as the skin there is thicker than the rest.
Expert Verdict
If you are in need of an argan oil body lotion, then the Bath and Body Works Freshwater Body Lotion will keep your body fresh and looking younger too! The argan oil really helps to reduce the appearance of scars on your body and helps to calm down any inflammation on your body. The argan oil also has anti-aging benefits so your skin will look youthful if you are applying it daily. What I didn’t like about this product was the smell. It smelled relatively close to the Ocean lotion so if you are looking for that fragrance, you might as well buy that. However, if you want the argan oil benefits, then this is just the product for you! This was a strong contender for the top spot but sadly coconut oil beats argan in terms of moisturization and keeping the skin soft and smooth.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Reduces the appearance of blemishes on the body | Smells too much like the Ocean For Men lotion |
| Soothes inflammation | |
| Anti-aging benefits with long-term use |
4. Best for Gift – Bath and Body Works, Gift Set Graphite
Specification
- Skin Type: All
- Item Form and Package: Water gel – Body wash; Aerosol – Body spray; Creamy-lotion – Body cream
- Material Type Free: Paraben-free
- Liquid Volume: 10 fl oz. (295 ml) – Body wash; 3.7 oz. (104g) – Body spray; 8 fl oz. (236 ml) – Body cream

Get the benefits of a body cream, wash, and spray with the Bath and Body Works, Gift Set Graphite that works perfectly as a gift!
Features
3-in-1: get a body wash, a nice spray, and a hydrating cream all in one set
Men’s cologne: get the same smell among all the products
Used together: infuse the smell when you use all the products together
How to use
For the body spray, you just spray all around your body by keeping it at least 3 to 4 inches away from your body
For the body wash, dampen your skin in water and then take a bit of the product on your hand. Then lather it on your body and wash it away after it has thoroughly foamed.
For the body cream, take a bit of the product on your hand and spread it over slightly damp skin. Then massage the cream onto your body until it has fully absorbed into the skin. Leave it to dry for 5 minutes. Make sure to apply an ample amount on ankles, elbows, and knees.
Expert Verdict
When you want to gift someone a whole set of scented products, then your best option is to go for the Bath and Body Works, Gift Set Graphite! Alone, you wouldn’t get enough scent, but when used together, you are sure to get a long-lasting fragrance. The body cream is really nice too, with a hydrating cream that will leave your skin nicely moisturized and a body wash to get all the dirt away from your body. The spray helps to set the scent, but it is the set’s only downside as the body spray does not last a long while and is meant to reintroduce the smell back on your body. Otherwise, the value you get for all 3 products is worthwhile for the price point as an all-in-one gift!
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Long-lasting scent when used together | Body spray’s scent does not last long |
| Great as a gift | |
| Hydrating cream for your body |

When you are applying this lotion to your body, make sure your skin is slightly damp after drying from a shower. Then apply the lotion in board downward strokes all across the body and then massage the rest in. If you applied too much lotion, you can pat it off with a clean towel. Make sure to apply extra on the elbows, knees, and ankles as the skin there is thicker than the rest.
Expert Verdict
A lot of people think that drinking alcohol is bad for you, but it does have benefits for the skin. The Bath & Body Works, Body Lotion Bourbon infuses vitamin E and the benefits of bourbon that leaves your skin free of blemishes and reduces oil secretion too! It keeps the skin nicely moisturized without leaving a greasy feeling or any buildup from occurring. However, the smell of bourbon does feel like a cheap cologne so the smell isn’t for everyone. It is strong and has a lasting smell that some of the other lotions on the list lack!
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Moisturizing | Smell not for everyone |
| Reduces blemishes on the skin | |
| No tacky feeling |

Expert Verdict
Jasmine has been known to have many benefits for the skin and body and the Bath & Body Works Into the Night Lotion does just that for you! It gives you both a good night’s sleep and leaves your skin soothed when you wake up as well. The jasmine infusion also gives the body a really nice and healthy glow when you continue using the product. It is even safe for sensitive skin which makes this product really good! However, the smell might be overwhelming for some. I had headaches because of how strong the scent was but the smell does lighten within the hour. This is a great nighttime lotion to help you sleep!
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Great for sleep | Strong smell might cause headaches |

7. Best Coconut Oil – Ocean by Bath and Body Works
Specification
- Skin Type: All
- Item Form and Package: Lotion; Bottle with a press cap

- Liquid Volume: 8 fl oz. (236 ml)
- Scent: Slight coconut oil smell

Features
Wonders of coconut: leaves the skin moisturized with coconut oil

Aloe soothing: keeps your skin nice and soothed with aloe vera
How to use
When you are applying this lotion to your body, make sure your skin is slightly damp after drying from a shower.

Make sure to apply extra on the elbows, knees, and ankles as the skin there is thicker than the rest.
Expert Verdict
The benefits of coconut oil are outmatched (which is why the best overall was a coconut-infused body lotion)! That is why Ocean Bath and Body Works is on this list! Don’t be confused with the Ocean For Men lotion that is also on the list as that one uses jojoba oil instead of coconut. This one uses shea butter for moisturization, coconut oil to lock in the moisture and keep your skin smooth, and aloe to soothe the skin. However, this lotion doesn’t really have much of a scent as it disappears as soon you massage on onto your skin. If that is what you are looking for then this is exactly the product you will need!
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Aloe soothing | Not much scent at all |
| Great moisturization | |
| Smooth skin with coconut oil |
8. Best Fragrance – Bath and Body Works New Fall Scent Marble

How to use
For the body wash, dampen your skin in water and then take a bit of the product on your hand. Then lather it on your body and wash it away after it has thoroughly foamed.
For the body cream, take a bit of the product on your hand and spread it over slightly damp skin. Then massage the cream onto your body until it has fully absorbed into the skin. Leave it to dry for 5 minutes. Make sure to apply an ample amount on ankles, elbows, and knees.
Expert Verdict
Another set of products that leaves you with one of the best fragrances from Bath and Body Works! The Bath and Body Works New Fall Scent Marble have a fresh aquatic smell to it that is just the right amount of smell and lasting power to give you a lasting smell that is sure to bring in compliments! The best thing about this product is that it works doubly well as a body cream too! The hyaluronic acid helps to replenish the body of any lost moisturization and helps to lock it in with the shea butter. The body wash also has cooling and soothing properties of aloe which works wonders on a hot summer day that is soon approaching. The only downside is that the body wash is advertised as a shampoo too but it is too harsh and will leave residue on your scalp instead! So avoid it as a shampoo and instead use it solely as a body wash.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Hyaluronic acid returns moisture to the skin | Would suggest not using the 3-in-1 body wash as shampoo; leaves residue |
| Soothing and cooling properties of aloe | |
| Long-lasting fragrance that has a really nice smell to it |

Make sure to apply extra on the elbows, knees, and ankles as the skin there is thicker than the rest.
Expert Verdict
The benefits of shea butter are well-known throughout the skincare industry. And when you combine it with orange’s exfoliating factor in Bath and Body Works Paris Lightweight Body Lotion, then you know it works wonders! The skin is left super smooth and brightened because of the orange extracts getting rid of the dead skin from your body. The shea butter helps to replenish any lost hydration from your body and keeps it that way for a long time as well! However, this is very atypical of a Bath and Body Works product because there is no scent at all!
| Pros | Cons |
| Exfoliating | No hint of smell at all |
| Super smooth skin | |
| Long-time hydration with shea butter |

How To Use Lotion Every Day?
The thing about lotions is that it is there to keep your body nicely moisturized. A lot of people worry about moisturization for their faces but care little for their bodies. In fact, the body needs the same hydration as your face so you don’t get extremely dry skin that remains neglected for too long. You might even risk getting contact dermatitis if your skin is left dry because it might become sensitive.
That is why you will have to use a moisturizing lotion every day, but it is best to apply it whenever you are right out of a shower. This is the time that your body will be slightly damp after you dried off and the lotion will better spread on your body. All the nourishing properties of a lotion like aloe, shea butter, and coconut oil (and other types of oils) can access the deeper layers of the skin and give extra hydration to your body too! This is because the pores of your skin are opened up whenever you take a bath with lukewarm water. With the open pores, you get rich moisturization at more than just the surface level!
So to use lotion every day, simply apply the lotion to your body after you have pat-dried yourself after a shower. Make sure to apply the lotion in an even layer through broad downward strokes over large surfaces like the legs and hands and then massage it in until the lotion is absorbed into the skin. If you notice that the lotion is not rubbing in anymore, then you have used too much of the lotion. So take a clean towel and dab off the excess lotion on the surface and you are good to go! Lastly, leave the lotion to dry for about 5 to 10 minutes at most so that it doesn’t get on your clothes.
FAQs
1. How do I choose a lotion for men?
It is important to choose a moisturizing lotion that is designed for the thicker skin that men have so that is the first criterion to choose. The second will be a smell that they will like, preferably a masculine smell.
2. Is it good to apply lotion at night?
Yes, it is! A scented lotion at night not only helps to keep the skin moisturized overnight but special flower scents like lavender and jasmine can help you get a good night’s sleep!
3. What is the best time to apply body lotion?
The best time to apply body lotion is right after a bath or shower when the skin is slightly damp and the pores are open. This lets the body lotion penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and leave you more moisturized!
4. How long should lotion stay on skin?
Usually, it will stay on the skin for about 10 minutes before it is absorbed into the skin. And it will stay there for roughly about 6 to 24 hours but that will depend on how much you sweat.
5. Can too much lotion damage your skin?
Using too much lotion or over-moisturizing your skin will make it so that your skin does not produce its own moisture, making it depend on external moisturizing body lotion. That is why it is important to apply a thin and even layer on your skin that is absorbed into your skin to get the best effects of the lotion.
Final Thoughts
Well, there you have it, the 10 best men’s lotion Bath and Body Works has to offer! I used my significant other for this little review and he absolutely loved using the products especially because of the masculine smell they gave off. His favorites were definitely the Dark Kiss, Teakwood, and the Marble and Graphite set. I was particularly biased toward the Dark Kiss lotion because of the vanilla smell and it was a really great smell too alongside the Marble! I hope that this review has helped you find the Bath and Body Works lotion that you are looking for as it did for my partner. And as always, stay classy!
