Top 6 Retail Products Every Spray Tan Artist Should Be Selling
If you're a spray tan artist ready to level up your biz and start building that juicy stream of retail income, listen up: it is time to stock your shelves with products that actually work, look cute, and keep your clients glowing long after their tan. Whether you're operating out of a full salon or slaying tans in a cozy booth, offering retail is one of the smartest ways to increase your income without adding more spray sessions to your calendar.
Here’s the tea: your clients already trust you to make them look and feel amazing. Retailing curated, glow-boosting products is just the next natural step. And the best part? You don’t need a ton of inventory to start.
Let’s break down the top 6 products every spray tan artist should be retailing—featuring sunless skincare essentials from Just Peachy, a brand crafted for tan artists by tan artists.
1. Tan Extender (Light & Dark)
These are the holy grails of post-spray care—designed to gradually build color and keep that bronze poppin’ between appointments. They’re hydrating, non-sticky, and smell like tropical heaven (hi, Coconut & Lychee).
Clients love them because they make their tan last longer. You’ll love them because they’re basically a built-in rebooking tool.
Retail tip: Educate clients on when to start using their extender (around day 3 post-tan). Display both shades side by side and let them choose their glow.
2. Luxe Lotion
Dry skin is the #1 tan killer—and Luxe Lotion is your weapon of choice. This ultra-rich, unscented moisturizer is loaded with skin-loving oils and vitamin E to keep tans soft, smooth, and streak-free.
What makes it a retail winner? It’s safe for all skin types, fragrance-free (aka perfect post-tan), and comes in packaging that screams "take me home."
Retail tip: Recommend this as a daily moisturizer for everyone, even clients who didn’t just get sprayed. Glowy, hydrated skin is always in.
3. DHA-Infused Body Wash
So many clients ruin their tans in the shower without even knowing it. Vacay Mode’s DHA-Infused Body Wash is a game-changer—it gently cleanses without stripping color and even contains a hint of DHA to keep the tan going strong.
This is the kind of product that makes clients say, “Wait, I didn’t know I needed this—but now I’m obsessed.”
Retail tip: Keep a bottle at your rinse station and let them smell it post-tan. The Coconut & Lychee scent does all the selling for you.
4. Facial Extender
Facial skin fades faster than the rest of the body, so giving your clients a way to top up their glow without clogging pores is key. Enter: the Facial Extender. Lightweight, streak-free, and infused with 6% DHA, it’s the easiest way to keep their complexion bronzed and beautiful.
Retail tip: Great add-on for clients booking Snatched or Luxe tans. Suggest it as a gentle starter product for first-timers or bridal babes who want a natural glow.
5. Drying Powder
No one wants to feel sticky post-spray. Our Drying Powder is talc-free, unscented, and made with skin-softening ingredients like arrowroot and tapioca. It’s perfect for high-friction areas like underarms, thighs, and under the peach.
This one’s a must-have for in-studio use and for clients who live in humid climates or plan to be on the move after their appointment.
Retail tip: Offer it as part of a “Spray Day Essentials” bundle with the Body Oil and Aftercare Card.
6. Travel Essentials Bundle
This one’s a retail no-brainer: a curated travel-size set including the Tan Extender Light, Luxe Lotion, and DHA-Infused Body Wash. It’s perfect for clients heading out of town, first-timers who want to try before committing to full sizes, or even for gifting.
Retail tip: Position these near checkout or feature them in a seasonal promo. They’re ideal for retail displays, pop-up events, or spray tan parties.
You don’t have to be a natural-born sales queen to crush it with retail. With the right lineup of products, clear education, and a little confidence, you can turn your service menu into a full-blown glow shop.
Start small, stay consistent, and keep it peachy. Because offering high-quality, artist-formulated products isn’t just good business—it’s what your clients deserve.
