    1. Keep your bed as dust-proof as possible with this anti-allergy mattress protector.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    A lot of hay fever sufferers find that dust can be quite triggering for their allergies (yes, I am talking about myself). Mattresses are a common culprit for holding a lot of dust, which is why adding an extra layer of protection between you and the mattress is super beneficial. This protector has been made especially for allergy sufferers, and even gives you some extra padding! 


    Price: £18.95 for a single size – it's also available in four other sizes. 

    2. Protect your eyes from the pollen as much as possible with these wrap-around sunglasses.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    I'm sure we all know the struggle of watery, itchy, and swollen eyes from being outside for too long during hay fever season. The design of these sunnies help to keep your eyes as protected as possible from outside allergens, which is a real game-changer.


    Price: £14.98

    3. Invest in this bestselling air purifier, which will help to rid your room of any allergens.

    This air purifier contains a filter that's able to clean at least 99.97% of particles like pollen and dust mites (amazing, right?). It even has three different speeds including a quiet sleep mode, so you can keep it by your bed knowing it won't disrupt you in the night.

    4. Avoid drying your clothes outdoors during hay fever season, and use this foldable laundry rack instead.

    If you can avoid exposing your freshly washed clothes to pollen and outside allergens, it'll save you a lot of unnecessary sneezing (trust me on that one). Find an empty space in your home where you can open up the airer, let your clothes naturally air dry, then fold the airer up and keep it stored away until the next time you need it – simple! 


    Price: £29.99 

    5. I've found hay fever season to always take its toll on my skin, which is why regularly moisturising with something like this E45 cream is a big help in my experience.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    My skin always dries out when my allergies act up, and I've found that regularly moisturising throughout the day with a petrolatum based cream helps to manage the dryness. 


    Price: £4.00 for 500ml. 

    6. Ease any headaches with these cooling gel patches, which have saved me more times than I can probably count.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    Headaches can be a (very) annoying hay fever symptom, and in my experience I've found that these patches are one of the very few things that ease the pain.

    7. Put some of this Haymax balm around the base of your nostrils to help trap the pollen and stop you from breathing it in!

    10. Move away from tissues and towards these wipes, which help to remove and trap pollen.
