Hello everyone, this is Victoria, your favorite fashion blogger! Today, I decided to talk to you regarding a subject that affects me personally and from which I am sure that some of you also suffer: pollen allergy. So, we are going to discuss the symptoms of this allergy together and I am going to give you some tips for better living with it.
Symptoms of pollen allergy
Before getting to the heart of the matter, you have to know how to recognize the symptoms of pollen allergy. I must admit that I have experienced it myself and believe me, it is not pleasant at all! Here is the list of the main symptoms:
- Runny nose : Rhinorrhea is one of the first symptoms to appear. We end up with a transparent liquid that constantly flows from the nose, which can be very embarrassing and annoying.
- Itching: Whether in the nose, throat or even the eyes, itching is really unpleasant. We have the impression that it scratches everywhere and we only want to scratch constantly.
- The sneeze: Impossible to miss, sneezing is one of the most frequent symptoms. We sneeze all the time, even if we don’t necessarily want to.
- Red and puffy eyes: Allergens in the air irritate our eyes and cause this reaction. Result: it feels like we’ve been crying all day when in reality, it’s just our allergies playing tricks on us.
So much for the main symptoms of pollen allergy. If you recognize yourself in this description, you may well be allergic to these small yellow particles!
My tips for living better with this allergy
Now that we have reviewed the symptoms of pollen allergy, I will share with you some tips that help me live better with this allergy and relieve the discomfort that comes with it.
Limit exposure to pollen
To begin with, you should know that the more you are exposed to pollen, the more the symptoms tend to worsen. To limit our exposure to these allergens, here are some tips:
- Close the windows of our accommodation, especially during periods of high pollen concentration (usually between April and June).
- Avoid drying clothes outside, as they can catch pollen.
- Wash face and hands regularly to remove traces of pollen.
- Limit our outdoor activities during peak pollen concentrations.
Using Natural Solutions to Relieve Symptoms
In addition to limiting our exposure to pollen, we can also use natural remedies to relieve allergy symptoms. Here are some of my favorite tips:
- Local honey: Consuming honey produced in our region can help strengthen our immune system and thus reduce our allergic reaction to pollen.
- Essential oils: Certain essential oils, such as lavender or rosemary, can be used in diffusion to purify the air in our interior and thus eliminate the pollen particles present.
- Herbal teas: Drinking herbal teas with antiallergic properties, such as chamomile or verbena, can help us soothe the itching and irritation caused by pollen allergy.
Finally, do not hesitate to consult a doctor or an allergist if your symptoms persist and bother you a lot in your daily life. They will be in the best position to advise you and prescribe the appropriate treatment!
Adapt your beauty and fashion routine according to your allergy
As a fashion blogger, I can’t miss the impact of pollen allergy on our beauty routine and our wardrobe! Here are my tips for adapting your style according to your allergies:
Opt for hypoallergenic makeup
To avoid aggravating pollen allergy symptoms, it is best to use hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic makeup products. Don’t hesitate to seek advice from the perfumery or pharmacy sales associates.
Choose suitable sunglasses
Wearing sunglasses can help protect our eyes from irritation caused by pollen. Opt for enveloping models that cover the eyes well and do not hesitate to clean them regularly to avoid the presence of allergenic particles on the glasses.
Adapt your wardrobe
Finally, to limit our exposure to pollen, we can adapt our wardrobe by choosing long and covering clothes, such as pants rather than skirts or dresses. It is also important to change and wash your clothes regularly to remove traces of pollen that may be deposited there.
Well, I hope these tips will be useful for you to live better with your pollen allergy and take full advantage of the beautiful season! Don’t hesitate to share your own tips in the comments, I’m always happy to talk with you regarding this subject. See you soon for a new fashion or lifestyle article!
