STOP THE SNEEZING

Gardens filled with the scent of freshly cut grass may epitomise summer for many of us, but, for the estimated one in four people in the UK who suffer from hay fever, it’s not such a joyous time. Stop the pollen getting up your nose by smearing a balm, such as Haymax (£7.29, hollandandbarrett.com), around your nostrils two or three times a day. Each evening, if pollen has become trapped inside your nose, send it packing with a saline nasal spray, such as Sterimar Isotonic Nasal Hygiene (£6.99, boots.com).
