Go To Black vs. ProTan Hot Tottie: Which Tanning Lotion Reigns Supreme?

Introduction

As a trusted name in the industry, MEGATAN offers a diverse range of high-quality tanning lotions, including Accelerators, Bronzers, and Tingles. With a reputation built on excellence and a passion for helping individuals achieve their desired tan, MEGATAN stands as a leader in the tanning industry.

Choosing the right tanning lotion is essential for achieving optimal results and maintaining the health of your skin. A high-quality tanning lotion enhances the tanning process by stimulating melanin production, providing deeper and more even colour.

In this blog, we compare Supre Tan Go to Black's ultra-dark bronzing formula, designed for those aiming to be naturally bronzed quickly, with Pro Tan Hot Tottie's hot-action dark tanning tingle formula, which results in the deepest, darkest tan.

Product Profiles

Supre Tan Go To Black Incredible Dark Maximizer

Brand Reputation: Trusted for delivering extremely dark results, this acting dark tanning intensifier takes users several shades darker in just one use.

Key Features: Deeply hydrating, containing a premium ingredient of argan oil, which also softens the skin. Formulated with multiple melanin stimulators (Tyrosine and carrot oil) to speed up the tanning process. It contains Vitamin A to kick start the production of new cells!

Intended Users: Can be used by all tanners. From  beginners looking to build a base tan fast to experienced tanners who want to maintain a golden tan.

Scent: Gender-neutral fragrance that is not too overpowering.

Texture: Easy to apply, rich, thick lotion. A little goes a long way!

Tanning Bed Experience: In my experience, Go To Black absorbs into the skin quickly! With no sticky residue, this accelerator not only creates ultra-hydrated skin, but it also provides a natural dark colour fast.

ProTan Hot Tottie

Brand Reputation: Pro Tan Hot Tottie is known for its warming sensation and instant bronzing formula.

Key Features: Tingle-effect lotion is designed to stimulate blood flow and leave you with a tantalizing rosy flush and dark golden hue with every session.

Intended Users: Ideal for experienced/advanced tanners who enjoy the warming sensation and want to continue with a deep dark tan. To be used on tanning beds only!

Scent: Hot Tottie's scent is described as spicy in the bottle; however, when applied, the 'tingle' smell is not overpowering. The scent does last for a few hours after the tanning session.

Texture: Lightweight formulation that absorbs quickly with no residue.

Tanning Bed Experience: Hot Tottie activates under UV lights; however, during my tanning sessions, I feel comfortable using this dark tanning lotion. When my tanning session ends, I can then feel the tingle-warming sensation for at least 3 hours.

Key Comparison Metrics

1. Ingredients and Skin Benefits

• Go To Black: Contains the ingredient Tyrosine to speed up the natural tanning process. Infused with Argan Oil and Carrot Oil to ample hydration levels, leaving the skin feeling silky soft.
• Hot Tottie: Contains just the right amount of heat and tingle to help the user achieve a dark golden brown hue. Enriched with vitamins A, C, and E to maintain healthy skin. A rich, moisturising blend of mango and cocoa butter assures a silky, smooth result.

2. Scent Experience

• Go To Black: Features a luxurious tropical melon scent that is gender-neutral. The smell does fade after a few hours of your sunbed session.
• Hot Tottie: Described as Spun Sugar Mocha. Spicy, sweet, and warming scent, not too overpowering when applied to the skin. The tingle smell does last for at least 3-4 hours post-application.

3. Texture and Application

• Go To Black: Thick, rich consistency that requires time to rub in and absorb into the skin. Once rubbed in thoroughly, it melts into the skin.
• Hot Tottie: Lightweight formula that is easy to apply and absorbs fast.

4. Tanning Bed Compatibility

• Go To Black: Ideally, it should be used for sunbed use only, but it can be used in natural sunlight as long as SPF is applied. It takes a while to absorb fully and can leave residue on lay-down sunbeds depending on how much product has been used.
• Hot Tottie: To be used on sunbeds only as it activates under UV light. This product causes redness, tingling, and high heat after my session.

5. Tanning Results

As Go To Black is a tanning accelerator, it can take at least 24 hours for the tan to develop fully. Based on experience and our customer reviews, Go To Black provides a natural golden hue after using a sunbed. Go To Black offers a deep golden brown tan for all skin types and tones.

Hot Tottie results are visible immediately, providing a rosy flush of colour with the deepest, darkest, longest-lasting tan imaginable.

6. Longevity of Tan

Depending on aftercare, both Go To Black and Hot Tottie fade naturally and evenly. In my experience using either, my tan lasts 5-7 days before fading.

7. Value for Money

Go To Black is a 350ml bottle also available in a 15ml sachet. Its price ranges from £5.00 for a one-use sachet to £45.99 for the bottle. You can shop Go To Black for the cheapest price here.

Hot Tottie is a 250ml bottle with an RRP of £19.00. However, you can shop for it for even cheaper on our website.

Tanning Results by Skin Type

Fair Skin

Go To Black is designed for all skin types and is the most suitable product for fair skin. It is more gentle on the skin, as it is a tingle-free formula, and it helps to achieve a natural, supple tone.

Medium to Olive Skin

Hot Tottie Tingle is suitable for individuals with medium to olive skin tones. It offers a warming sensation and enhances the tanning experience.

Mature Skin

Both products are formulated with ingredients to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. They contain vitamin A to combat signs of anti-ageing and to improve the skin's elasticity.
