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 R U Tan, valid at the locations in Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento. Choose from the following options:

• For $14, you get one hydration-station session (a $29 value), valid only at the Sacramento location.
• For $22, you get two custom airbrush tans (a $45 value).
For $45, you get an all-access pass for one month of unlimited tanning in any bed and unlimited Mystic spray tanning (up to a $130 value).

R U Tan's deluxe high-wattage beds, Mystic-spray booths, and professional pigment artists coat pelts in a variety of butterscotch toppings, whereas hydration stations blanket bodies in radiant heat and steam. At the Sacramento location, patrons repose on contoured pillows and foam beds inside heated hydration-station pods as a soothing steam-and-aloe mixture gently mists wearied bodies. Vibrating beds shake away muscle tension as a built-in fan or the lung capacity of a staff member cools warm faces.

Those who wish to keep coats tan can recline in an Extreme bronzing bed at the Sacramento location, or stand tall in one of Rancho Cordova's 12,000-watt vertical beds. During airbrush sessions, gilders spritz dermises with a custom solution before placing patrons in front of a fan to dry. The tan will set in about an hour, and R U Tan recommends waiting 8–12 hours after the session before showering, exercising, or swimming in honey.

Thought R U Tan sometimes offers discounted prices online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
