The popularity of self-tanning products is surging, showing that people are becoming aware of the dangers of tanning. They're putting their money where their skin is. The best tanning lotions provide a natural golden tan and have a main active ingredient, which is either dihydroxyacetone DHA, or Lawson a chemical compound derivative from leaves of Lawsonia inermis. The way DHA works is already known; it reacts with proteins from skin cells and provides an instantaneous and long lasting tan. Unlike DHA, Lawson doesn't interfere with the skin.

A good quality sunless tanning lotion can provide all the benefits of lying in the sun all day, without the danger of skin damage. Skin damage is a major concern today, and scientific evidence continues to mount regarding the damaging effects of too much sun exposure. This is where sunless tanning lotion comes in handy. The main benefit of a sunless tanning lotion is that it can bronze the skin without exposure to the damaging UVA or UVB rays you would normally be exposed to by regular tanning. One of the most frequent complaints regarding sunless tanning lotion is the tendency to streak and spot. Even though this was a major problem when sunless tanning lotion first hit the market, today's varieties of sunless tanners do a much better job, with much less streaking than those made a few years ago. The best and most advanced sunless tanning lotion is non-greasy and long-lasting. And it is not necessarily a cheap tanning lotion. Keep the tan longer is a must for many tanners. Such is the case with DHA self tanning lotions. In just 24 hours the skin will produce its own natural tan which can't be washed up or removed with a self tanning wipe. Nevertheless, many tanners prefer instantaneous Lawson self tanning lotions because there is no suspicion of staining clothes, the couch or their houses.
