4 Things Your Body Is Begging For This Summer (And Where To Get Them For Less)

Summer in Colorado sounds dreamy. And it is — until your sinuses are wrecked from AC, your shoulders are sunburned from that hike you underestimated, and your legs feel like concrete by 4pm. Your body is working harder than you think this time of year. Here's what it actually needs — and why each one is worth it.

1. A sunscreen you'll actually remember to put on

Let's be honest. The reason most of us skip sunscreen isn't laziness — it's that every sunscreen we've ever tried felt awful. Greasy, heavy, white cast, that smell. So we just... don't.

Sun Bum changed that for a lot of people. It goes on clean, absorbs fast, and doesn't make you look or feel like you slathered yourself in something. Reef-safe formula, no harsh chemicals, and it actually smells like summer instead of a doctor's office.

Here's the Colorado-specific thing nobody talks about enough: altitude dramatically increases UV exposure. For every 1,000 feet of elevation gain, UV radiation increases by about 10%. Fort Collins sits at 5,000 feet. Denver at 5,280. If you're heading into the mountains on weekends, you're pushing well past that.

You should be wearing SPF every single day. Sun Bum makes that easy.

Who needs this: Anyone spending time outdoors, driving, sitting near windows, or honestly just existing in Colorado between May and September.

2. The nasal spray your AC-wrecked sinuses have been waiting for

Air conditioning is a gift. It is also quietly destroying your sinuses all summer long.

AC systems pull moisture out of the air fast — and dry nasal passages are more than just uncomfortable. They're less effective at filtering out allergens, dust, and bacteria. That scratchy throat you wake up with every morning? Probably not a cold. Probably just your AC running all night.

Most people reach for medicated nasal sprays, which work short-term but create rebound congestion if you use them too often. Our Good Day Sesame Oil Nasal Spray works differently. Sesame oil is a natural moisturizer that coats and soothes nasal passages without any of the rebound issues. It's gentle enough to use every day and effective enough that you'll notice the difference fast.

We formulated this one ourselves. That's not something we say lightly — it means we stand behind every ingredient in it.

Who needs this: Anyone running AC at home or in the office, frequent travelers, people with seasonal allergies, anyone waking up with a dry or irritated nose.

3. The magnesium your sore muscles have been missing

Here's something most people don't know: magnesium is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in adults — and summer makes it worse. You sweat more, which means you lose more magnesium. And magnesium is responsible for muscle recovery, sleep quality, stress response, and about 300 other bodily functions.

You could take a supplement. But magnesium absorbs really well through the skin — often better than oral supplements for people with sensitive digestion. Our Good Day Magnesium Cream is designed specifically for topical use. Rub it into sore muscles, tight shoulders, or restless legs before bed and let it do its thing overnight.

This is the one that surprises people the most. They grab it skeptically and come back to reorder it.

Who needs this: People who exercise regularly, anyone with chronic muscle tension or soreness, people who struggle with sleep quality, basically anyone who has a body and uses it.

4. A mystery waiting in your inbox after you order

Here's the fun part.

Buy anything from our Summer Essentials Edit — any single product — and we'll send you a mystery warmie discount code by email after your order is placed.

What's a warmie? It's a microwaveable plush. You heat it up, wrap it around your neck or shoulders, and it's exactly what you'll want after a long summer day when you finally sit down. Great for sore muscles, tension headaches, and anyone who runs cold even in July because the AC is set to arctic.

We're not telling you the discount. We're not telling you which warmie. That's the whole point.

What we will tell you is that it shows up in your inbox automatically — no hunting for a code, no fine print. Just a nice little surprise for choosing Good Day.
