Soak Up the Sunshine—Safely! Why Getting Outside is Great for Your Health (And How Neutrogena Can Help)

Getting outside is not only wonderful for your spirit but also great for your body! Whether you’re taking a leisurely walk through Island Park, tending to your garden, or sharing a picnic with friends, spending time outdoors can do wonders for you:

✅ Boost your mood
✅ Help you sleep better
✅ Give you that much-needed vitamin D
✅ Lower stress levels
✅ Keep your heart happy

Before you head out to enjoy the sunshine, don’t forget to grab some sunscreen.

The Power of Protection

Sun exposure is fantastic, but too much can lead to sunburn, early skin aging, or even increase your risk of skin cancer. That’s why Neutrogena sunscreens are a great choice — trusted by dermatologists, easy to use, and providing broad UVA/UVB protection. Plus, they’re:

🌿 Lightweight and non-greasy
💧 Water- and sweat-resistant
🧴 Available as sprays, lotions, and gentle formulas for sensitive skin
🌞 Perfect for everyday use — yes, even on cloudy days!

Here are our favorites at Pharmasave Portage:

✔ Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 60 — Quick-absorbing, great for face and body
✔ Neutrogena Hydro Boost SPF 50 — Hydrating and gel-like for a refreshing feel
✔ Neutrogena Sensitive Skin SPF 50 — Gentle enough for babies and those with sensitive skin

A little tip from us: Apply your sunscreen 15–30 minutes before heading out, and be sure to reapply every couple of hours — especially if you’re swimming or sweating. Remember, the sun’s rays can reach you even on cloudy days!
