Spring has sprung, but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer from seasonal allergies. Whether you’re hitting the great outdoors to enjoy the lovely spring weather or staying indoors, here are 3 natural tips to help keep spring allergies at bay this season.
Wear an allergy mask
No matter how you allergy-proof your home, it can be difficult to avoid spring allergies when you are outside. Luckily, an allergy mask can protect you from allergens and keep your nose, lungs, and throat free of pollen, dust, and other allergens. Plus, it comes in a variety of styles, so you can easily wear it all day long.
Take a shower after being outside
Take a shower upon arriving home to keep spring allergies at bay. This helps to remove the pollen, dust, and other pollutants that may have accumulated on your skin or hair during the day.
Keep indoor air clean
The air inside your home or office is often more polluted than the air outside. Indoor air pollution can cause itchy eyes, allergic reactions, and more for those who suffer from allergies. To keep pollen and other pollutants out, change your air filters every 30 days during spring. EPA says using professional air filters is the best way to protect yourself from indoor pollution.
