Recommending the right tanning product can make all the difference to your clients’ experience. With Australian Gold’s wide range, staff can sometimes feel unsure about which lotion best suits each person. This quick guide is designed to help you confidently match products to clients based on their skin type, tanning goals, and experience level; while also encouraging upsells with bundles and offers.
Step 1: Know Your Client
When chatting with clients, keep three things in mind:
Skin Type – Are they fair skinned, or do they tan easily?
Tanning Goals – Do they want a subtle glow, a deep bronze, or long-lasting hydration?
Experience Level – Are they new to tanning, or seasoned sunbed users looking for advanced results?
Step 2: Match Them With Their Perfect Product
Here are 5 top Australian Gold favourites, with quick “client profiles” to guide your recommendations:
Australian Gold Dark Tanning Accelerator
Best for beginners & fair skin types
> A classic choice that helps build a natural base tan.
> Lightweight formula with moisturisers that prevent dryness.

Australian Gold Fearlessly Bronze
For clients who want instant glow with confidence

Product of the Week highlights to encourage trials.
Aftercare add-ons (moisturisers, SPF) to extend their results.
Final Tip for Staff
Always ask: “What’s your tanning goal?” – that one question will usually tell you whether they need a gentle accelerator, a bronzer, or a hydration-focused product.
