Man Lotion

My skin is dry and if I were black, I'd be ashy. But every lotion out there smells girly--vanilla bean, ocean breeze, crushed pineapple with a hint of brown sugar. Is there any good, manly-scented hand and body lotion for my dry skin? (And not the unscented kind, that just smells like old ladies.)

Hey budding entrepreneurs out there!

Here is your chance to make "man lotion" with creative manly scents like:
motor oil (Yes you can have the smell of NASCAR!)
gasoline (See above)
gunpowder (For the hunter in you)
sweaty gym sock (Ewww!)

Come on - the market research is complete! Act NOW!!!

You forgot:
beef jerky
woodsmoke
pipe tobacco

But I'm serious, though. I need a guy-ish hand lotion. Any suggestions?!

I suffer from the same ailment and hve tried everything. By far the best and least noticeable is Aveeno Daily Mosturizing Lotion

My dad uses Aveeno. Bath and Body works has manly lotions now. I don't remember what they smell like, but I'm sure they aren't girly. They should make a lotion for guys that smells like cocoa butter or the way Coppertone used to smell (now it smells generic--stupid).

i dunno... i've given up... ever since high school, i've just settled for whatever scent that my girlfriend was using... now i just use whatever my wife buys (most time it's unscented)

Ooh- I agree. Pipe tobacco lotion would be lovely. And, you're right. Unscented smells like old ladies.

Yeah, BBW has "manly" scents- you might also try checking out salons. They all will carry manly smelling hair & body products- I bet you can find a lotion, too.

Or, you could wait until your hands are cracked and bleeding, then just use it as a reason to complain... whatever works...

Oh... what about BBQ scented?

Hey Ren and K, I ended up getting Aveeno. Good stuff. Doesn't smell like anything, but sure is thick and good.

And Sara, I wouldn't complain with cracked, bleeding hands, I'd just show how manly I was, especially playing the guitar. Let the blood spill down as I played and they'd all say, "WOW. What dedication!" It's the only way I'll ever be more manly than Jon. ;-)

Thanks for all the feedback. My now-moist hands thank you all.
