Although outdoor tanning allows humans to absorb the sun's natural energy, the sapped star will eventually turn pale and suffer the fate of Earth's original sun, the moon. Save the sun with today's Groupon to Glow de Soleil in Upper Tantallon. Choose between the following options:

• For $29, you get two VersaSpa spray tans (a $69 value, including HST).
For $29, you get one VersaSpa spray tan (a $29.99 value) and three lay-down UV-tanning sessions (a $30 value) (a $69 total value, including HST).

Glow de Soleil morphs snowy pelts into caramel-hued skinscapes with sunless spray tans and UV-tanning beds. Pallid physiques shimmy into the intuitive VersaSpa booth, where a priming spray prepares human canvases for the impending shade switch. The kinetic nozzles then mist epidermal planes with a bronzing spray that cloaks skin in ultravioletless sun kisses. Finally, a soothing moisturizing spray leaves newly darkened skin feeling as fresh and smooth as a teenage daisy after its first petal shave. The speedy spray tan session takes four minutes to gild bodies from tip to tippy toe.

Alternatively, a trio of lay-down tanning sessions affords those opting for UV-gotten glows the luxury of supine bronzification without the hassles of setting up a hammock on the sun. Each session lasts a maximum of 20 minutes to ensure that wan bodies can soak up as many rejuvenating doses of vitamin D as they crave. Patrons emerge from their recumbent beam-bathing session sporting radiant golden skin that draws admiring stares from passersby and envious boos from jealous ghosts. As an additional bonus, today’s deal entitles Groupon holders to 20 per cent off the purchase of tanning lotion if redeemed before November 30, 2011.
