Hot! (Australian Gold): bronzer-free tanning accelerator

Apply Hot! before every tanning session to get the most out of your time on the sunbed. It contains no DHA and no bronzers: the colour you get is purely your own tan, which the lotion makes more intense. It’s the ideal choice for building a natural, gradual, long-lasting tan, session after session.

Australian Gold Hot! is designed for sunbeds and can be used outdoors when the sun is at its weakest.

• Active Aloe®: Australian Gold’s patented aloe vera base, which hydrates and soothes the skin.
• Vitamins A, C, E and F: a blend of skincare vitamins for nourished, radiant skin.
• Macadamia nut oil and omega oils: nourish the skin and keep it supple. The formula also contains olive oil, kukui oil and panthenol (provitamin B5).
• Biosine Complex™ and CellMoist™: two exclusive moisturising complexes, combined with a unique blend of natural herb and plant extracts.
• Advanced Skincare Complex and liposomes: help the formula work at its best.

Before your tanning session, apply an even layer of Hot! to clean, dry skin on all exposed areas. Wash your hands after application. Stick to the session time recommended by your tanning salon and leave enough time between sessions to avoid burning. For external use only.

• 250ml tube: the size for using Hot! at every tanning session.
• 15ml sachet: perfect for one session, or for trying Hot! before buying the tube.

The Australian Gold Hot! range has four products. They share the Cocoa Dreams fragrance and the Active Aloe® base, but they give different results:

• Hot!: the classic accelerator, with no bronzers, for UV sunbeds. It intensifies your natural tan, session after session (the product on this page).
• The Hot! Hybrid: the same bronzer-free approach, designed for UV sunbeds, red light beds and hybrid beds that combine the two.
• Hot! Bronze: an instant bronzer without DHA. Its natural bronzing agents, such as DermaDark®, give an even, natural-looking tan from your very first session.
• The Hot! DHA Bronzer (formerly Hot! Black): the most powerful version, with a high level of DHA. Instant colour, then a tan that keeps developing after your session.

Our advice: bronzer-free for your first sessions and fair skin; with bronzers for olive or dark skin (Mediterranean or African skin types) or skin that’s already well tanned. DHA doesn’t create the colour, it transforms it: when your melanin is working hard, your tan can turn dull, and DHA makes it more coppery and natural-looking. So Hot! is the best place to start. For olive or already well-tanned skin, choose the Hot! DHA Bronzer.

Does Hot! contain bronzers?

No. Hot! contains no DHA and no bronzing agents: it intensifies your natural tan. For an instant bronzed look, see the Hot! DHA Bronzer (with DHA) or Hot! Bronze (without DHA).

Who is Hot! for?

Fair skin, first sessions and anyone who wants a 100% natural tan. It’s unisex, suitable for both men and women.

What’s the difference between Hot! and Hot! Hybrid?

Both are bronzer-free. The Hot! Hybrid is also designed for red light beds and for hybrid beds that combine UV and red light.

Does Australian Gold Hot! protect against the sun?

No. Hot! has no SPF: it isn’t a sun cream. It’s designed for sunbeds and can be used outdoors when the sun is at its weakest.
