The summer months come with plenty of benefits: longer days, lighter evenings, plenty of barbecue opportunities.
But one rather annoying side effect of summertime is having to deal with crippling hay fever symptoms. For none sufferers, hay fever can sound like a mild condition. But for anyone who's had to deal with a streaming nose, itchy eyes and restless nights, hay fever is certainly nothing to be sniffed at (we couldn't help ourselves...)
In fact, we'd guess you would try anything, fromantihistamines to nasal spray. But one woman has found a rather unusual solution - and she's calling it a 'godsend'.
Nicola Taylortook to Facebook'sExtreme Couponing and Bargains UKgroup to share her love for Savers' Gel Eye Mask, which she claims will rid you of itchy eyes in an instant.
