Like ripened fruits, people with healthy-coloured skin are more likely to be asked to pose for still-life paintings and get picked up at the grocery store. Catch the eye of passersby with today’s Groupon: for $19, you get either 150 minutes of UV tanning or two spray-tan sessions at Tan de Soleil (up to a $68 value). This Groupon is valid at the locations in Calgary, Surrey, Port Moody, Langley, and Vancouver.

Tan de Soleil equips hue heighteners with a Smart Tan–certified staff and the equipment necessary to transform complexions into glows. For a quick coat of colour, opt for two spray-tan sessions, during which a VersaSpa spray chamber opens its doors to awaiting clients and sprinkles a light mist that bronzes skin in a preferred tint and provides anti-aging moisturizers. The treatment lasts just 60 seconds and dries speedily, eliminating the need for downtime before rolling in a meadow of dry-clean-only grass. For a more leisurely route to a lingering glow, clients can opt for 2.5 hours of UV tanning, relaxing in the salon's sophisticated line of lay-down and stand-up devices. Timing varies for the different types of beds, and minutes may be used up faster on premium and stand-up models. All of Tan de Soleil's vanities are fully equipped with complimentary toiletries, making this Groupon an ideal gift for a pallid friend who fatefully missed out on a hotel-crawl in Fiji.
