How to save face if hayfever hits

AS temperatures rise so does the pollen count and, for hayfever sufferers, that can mean red eyes, an itchy nose and puffy skin.

These products could help you combat the effects.

PUFFY EYES

IF you’re suffering from a little puffiness around your eyes, make sure you have a cooling rollerball to hand.

Trilogy Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Recovery Concentrate (£25.50, Debenhams) is the perfect pick-me-up any time of day to brighten, lift and refresh tired eyes. Reformulated with Glycablend™ it combines CoQ10 to aid skin regeneration, caffeine from green coffee to help decrease puffiness, jojoba esters to smooth fine lines and increase skin firmness and horse chestnut to help reduce the appearance of dark circles.

DRY NOSE

BLOWING your nose all the time can leave you with dry, cracked skin. Weleda Skin Food is made with 100% natural ingredients including rosemary, pansy, chamomile and calendula extracts. Intensively hydrating, it comes in three handy sizes, including a mini 10ml tube (£2.25, Weleda.co.uk) to throw in your bag!

RED, ITCHY EYES

THE number-one giveaway for hayfever is red eyes that just won’t stop itching. Prevent the temptation to rub them by using some targeted eye drops. Try Lloydspharmacy Hayfever 2% Eye Drops with Sodium Cromoglicate to help relieve and treat eye symptoms.

IRRITATED SKIN

FOR itchy, red skin, try a gentle facial oil to bring down the redness and prevent further aggravation.
