Humankind has been playing with fire for years; now we can harness the bronzing essence of the fiery sun in a gentle mist, proving once and for all our dominance over the weak, inanimate solar system. With today's Groupon, $19 gets you a full-body bronze or clear tan ($40 value) from Optima Sun Lab at the location of your choice within 25 miles of downtown Cleveland.

Like newfangled phones and oldfangled circus troupes, spray tanning services go mobile at Optima Sun Lab, a company that specializes in providing in-home, high-quality spray tans to customers in the Cleveland area. Cheerfully traveling to homes, offices, or underworld tree fortresses, skin-color technicians artfully apply a pore-hydrating and tone-enhancing glow that can last from 5 to 10 days. A signature custom spray tan ($40) includes an aloe-infused Normalize pH Balance pre-tan treatment and the choice of bronze (shimmering with a cosmetic bronzer derived from walnut extracts) or clear (sans-walnut cosmetic) solution applied in an even mist. Both natural tanning solutions are free of irksome odors and contain the FDA-approved active ingredient DHA, anti-oxidants, and botanicals that offer a safe and healthy alternative to UV tanning. Spray-tan treatments take less than five minutes, and each session allows up to three treatments.

The tanning experts use a handheld gun to apply your treatment, taking into account the fact that some areas absorb more of the solution than others to ensure an even application. One of the best parts about spray tans is the ultra-fast application, which is why they enjoy such popularity among Olympic sprinters and predator drones.

An additional surcharge applies to appointments outside a 25-mile radius from downtown. Parental consent required for customers under 18.
