Prior to tanning salons, the only way to achieve a beautiful copper glow was to boil pennies and bathe in the scalding reduction. Achieve a less-painful sheen with today's Groupon: for $30, you get two airbrush tanning sessions at Sun Center Tanning (a $70 value) in Salem.

With full-body airbrush tanning, a steady-handed airbrusher extraordinaire will help the UV-wary achieve their desired pigment by coating their skin with a dazzling new hue. The 20-minute treatment is done by hand and uses hypoallergenic, alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and oil-free products made by Aviva Labs. To ensure two long-lasting tans, Sun Center recommends that clients exfoliate, shave, refrain from deodorant use, and wear loose clothing such as business-casual parachute pants before coming in for the treatment. After the skin has been honored with a shiny bronze medal ceremony, tanners should avoid showering or sweating heavily for at least eight hours afterward. Give your skin a natural glow instead of drowning it with a wash of orange that causes the other kids on the bus to call you Nickelodeon until high school graduation. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.
