Unlike getting a tan outside, spray tanning doesn't require building a base coat or viewing the sun's endless collection of Oort-cloud-vacation slides. Savor your solar solitude with today's Groupon to Shine Spray Tanning & Spa. Choose between the following options:

• For $14, you get one full-body spray tan (a $28 value).
For $25, you get two full-body spray tans (a $56 value).

This Groupon expires in three months.

At Shine Spray Tanning, the deft hands of a certified technician labor in tandem with a Turbo spray machine to burnish bodies with smooth color. Pelt-darkeners stroll in through the warm lights and milky-coffee-colored walls of the spa and choose from four shades of tan fashioned from the spa's own formula that sidesteps orange streaks. The tan gradations range from a light, sun-kissed shade to a dark bronze reminiscent of tropical vacations or solar makeout sessions. The tanning tech's watchful eyes ensure that limbs bask beneath an even, streak-free coat. Following a 15-minute session, bronzed limbs retain a summery glow for five to seven days. Shine Spray Tanning recommends use of its tan-extender lotion to sustain color for as long as possible between sunless tans.

Although Shine Spray Tanning offers discounts on Sundays, this Groupon still represents the best deal available.
