Pure Heat - Tingle tanning accelerator (Australian Gold)

A tingle accelerator (also called a tingle intensifier) contains actives that warm the skin and make it flush. Pure Heat combines this tingle with natural bronzing agents for a super-intense, fast tanning result. Pure Heat is part of Australian Gold’s Iconic Products collection.

Pure Heat contains no SPF: it is designed for sunbeds and can be used outdoors when the sun is at its weakest.

Pure Heat lotion combines a tingle, natural bronzing agents and plant oils to care for the skin.

• Hot Citrus Tingle: the tingle that warms the skin and intensifies your tan. The formula contains benzyl nicotinate.
• Tyrosine: oleoyl tyrosine, a classic tanning accelerator active, is part of the formula.
• Natural bronzers: make up most of the product, for a deeper tan, faster.
• Hemp seed oil: rich in omega-3 and omega-6, improves skin elasticity.
• Conditioning Complex: sunflower, olive and kukui oils, vitamin E, provitamin B5 and aloe vera nourish, care for, protect and hydrate the skin, so your tan lasts longer.

Before using Pure Heat for the first time, patch test it on a small area of skin. Then apply it to clean, dry skin in a thin, even layer, avoiding the face, eyes and sensitive areas. Wash your hands thoroughly straight after application. The warm, tingling sensation is part of the intended effect. Follow the session time recommended by your salon to avoid burning.

In the Australian Gold range, Pure Heat is one of the DHA-free tanning products: it is built around its tingle and natural bronzing agents. Our advice: go DHA-free to build the tan itself; choose DHA for olive skin 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 gives it a more coppery tone. That’s when Hot! DHA Bronzer takes over.
