Tanning Lotions for Men

Men have been tanning for years. This tanning may have been intentional, such as one would for a bodyuilding contest, or unintentional--something that happens while mowing the lawn. However, regardless of where the tan takes place, there are lotions on the market that are specially formulated for the way the man's body works. For example, lotion that runs when it comes in contact with perspiration is hard to use because men rarely sit still to tan. They are generally playing some kind of sport, which requires a lotion that has some staying power. Lotions for men have been created to not only meet the needs of their skin but also meet the needs of how they play.

Mankind Oil

• The tanning oil by Pro Tan called Mankind Creamy Oil Dark Tanning Blend is truly a blend. Sold in a skull-adorned tube, it has several vitamins and skin-firming supplements to help feed the skin of the man using it. It also contains caffeine to help get the blood cells under the skin moving and allow the lotion to deeply penetrate the skin. This lotion has been formulated with bronzers and will deepen any existing tan. The fragrance of Mankind Creamy Oil is not girly; rather, it, too, has manned up with a vanilla-musk scent.

Fiji Blend Decadence

• For men who want to have that deep, dark tan but also need to take care of special skin needs, consider Fiji Blend Tanning Lotion. This lotion provides extra moisturizer to areas that are dry, cracked, or irritated. Without protection or treatment and continued tanning, these problems would only continue to worsen. Fiji Blend Decadence tanning cream allows a man to continue tanning and being in the sun, while providing his skin with the healing nutrients it needs.

Couture Sport

• Couture Sport Tanning lotion is credited for helping movie stars obtain their deep bronze tans. This lotion uses tea tree, acai, and pomegranate oils to provide a layer of protection and nourishment to the skin during tanning. Tan-enhancing ingredients are added to the mix to ensure that the existing tan is deepened. Men have favored Couture Sport tanning lotion because the lotion is not scented.
