Show that pollen who's boss. Break through your hay fever this spring with Telfast.

1. Get yourself some big, big sunglasses.

Along with upping your style game, wearing big-framed sunnies can help stop pollen from getting in your eyes.

2. Treat yourself to a sleep-in on high-pollen days.

Pollen levels are usually peak in the morning. If that's not a solid excuse for a sleep-in (aka being late for work), what is?!

3. Don a mask and gloves and give your garden an allergen overhaul.

Replace plants that release pollen into the wind/your face with ones that are pollenated by birds and insects (Australian Natives are a good place to start).

4. Wash your hair before you go to bed to get rid of any pollen that may have collected throughout the day.

Lather, rinse, and repeat for a peaceful sleep.

5. Check the pollen count and don't plan outdoor activities when it's high.

You're never going to be able to avoid outdoor activities completely, but you can at least try to minimise them on high pollen days. Check the pollen count here.

6. Carry a mini-pack of tissues with you AT ALL TIMES.

Okay, so we know basically anything can be used as a tissue if need be, but keeping a pack on hand makes things a bit easier (and less awkward).

7. Enlist someone else to mow the lawn for you.

If only seasonal allergies could get you out of doing all your chores...

8. Be careful where you park your car.

Park in covered car parks when possible to avoid turning your car into a yellow death trap.

9. Move your workout indoors.

Running through the park on a hot windy day might not be the best idea, but thankfully there are plenty of ways you can get your exercise fix indoors.

10. Hang your washing to dry inside.

It's hard to resist hanging your washing outside on a nice day, but, if the pollen count's high, you could end up with pollen stuck in your clothes and sheets.

11. And to save yourself answering the same question multiple times a day, invest in one of these:
