Although often attributed to the sun, a bronzed glow can also be caused by excessive play of flashlight tag or an affinity for snacking on Olympic medals. Keep everyone guessing with today's Groupon to L.A. Tan. Choose between the following options:

• For $4, you get one tan in a level-one, -two, or -three bed (up to a $15 value).
• For $12, you get one UV-free spray tan (up to a $30 value).
  
  

This Groupon is valid at any of L.A. Tan's Chicagoland, Ohio, or northwestern Indiana locations.

L.A. Tan casts a faux glow on tanners across six states with the help of a keen staff that advises clients on the techniques and technology best suited to obtain their desired hues. Bed-bound sunners laze atop the salon's level-one, -two, or -three beds for up to 12 minutes. Each thoroughly cleaned pigmenting pallet boasts comforting extras such as a cooling fan, a music player, and a second, invisible bed to tan imaginary friends. L.A. Tan replaces each bed's bulbs after 600 hours—earlier than the 1000-hour industry requirement—to ensure everyone obtains a quality coloring.

UV-free spray tanning caters to those in search of a UV-free glow with a tinting booth that can automatically airbrush shade seekers with an evenly administered spritz of tanning solution. Each stall utilizes MagneTan technology, a process that polarizes the spray and helps it to adhere to the skin with the body's natural magnetism in fewer than five minutes. When the automaton finishes applying the color, tanners simply pat away extra mist before re-dressing and returning to film a color remake of Casablanca.

L.A. Tan offers daily specials throughout the week. This Groupon represents the most flexible deal available.
