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 Mayan Sun Salons. Choose between the following options:

• For $19, you get one airbrush spray tan (a $44.74 value, including HST).
• For $59, you get a 720-point UV-tanning package, equivalent to up to 36 tans (a $155.68 value, including HST).<p>

The trained staff at Mayan Sun Salons guides patrons on the path to bronzed bods with both traditional and spray-tanning services. Sunless-tan seekers slip into a bathing suit or undergarment, and then relax as an airbrush evenly sprays a Norvell aloe-based mixture to coat bodies and mark mistakes on art-history papers. Skin darkens within two to six hours and can keep its stylish new colour for up to 10 days. In UV tanning packages, customers parcel out their points over several visits to seek sun-kissed skin in both lie-down (20–40 points/session) and standup (40 points/session) beds. High-pressure units (90 points/session) dispense the equivalent of up to five regular tans in 30 minutes and use a greater portion of UVA rays to reduce the risk of burning. Each bed’s built-in stereo plays tunes from brought-along CDs or sheet music written on a bagel.

Patrons heighten their hues amid the salon’s yellow walls and Mexican decor. Though not included with today’s Groupon, patrons can stock up on Mayan Sun Salon’s moisturizers and lotions to help bolster their skin’s glow and their attempts to tan themselves in old family photos.
