Relaxation is one of the elemental forces that keeps human bodies alive, alongside air, water, fire, and antifire. Ease into your element with today's Groupon: for $40, you get any three spa treatments, including UV tanning, skin hydration, and more at Planet Beach Contempo Spa in Okotoks (up to a $117 value).

Planet Beach is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the services. These friendly automatons facilitate everything from hydro massages to spray tanning and luminous facials. Each machine is designed for a specific service, which makes it the ultimate expert and keeps it from developing the ability to cry. UV-tanning sessions are available ($15), along with Mystic spray tanning for a light butterscotch topping ($39). Advanced spa services, such as hydro-derma fusion, hydro massage, and LED facials provide opportunities for sweating, moisturizing, and photoskinthesis (all $35). Coffee, wine, and coal-pie lovers needn't worry about keeping whites at their pearliest after a Whiter Image teeth-whitening service ($35). A staff of helpful spa assistants is always on-hand to answer questions, help first-timers use the machines, and keep things safe and comfortable. Call ahead to make appointments; services are subject to availability.

Products are needed for select services and are not included in this Groupon. Product for the Lumiere facial is $19.98 and teeth whitening product is $69.
