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 to SunScape Tanning Studios. Choose between two options:

• For $19, you get two spray tan sessions (a $70 value).
• For $19, you get $65 worth of any other tanning service.

Choose from seven locations in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, and South Surrey.

SunScape Tanning, winner of Georgia Straight's best place for a beach-ready tan in 2009 and 2010, browns the sun shy with VersaSpa and Mystic Tan sunless tanning, and satisfies sun chasers with customizable plans, five levels of tanning, and a flock of bed options. Show the winter sun that he's not the only game in town with two sessions of UV-free spray tanning ($35 per session). UV virtuosos can keep up epidermal masterpieces and tanning novices can begin bronzing adventures in any of the myriad level 1–5 options ($7.50–$40 per session). Contoured acrylic beds cradle pressure points and fawn over sun chasers, coddling them like attentive butlers, spraying a cooling mist, playing music from iPod docks, and keeping superhero exploits secret. The $65 credit is good toward any new tanning package or membership, and Groupon holders get $10 off any lotion purchase more than $50.
