Summer is officially here - which means hay fever season is in full swing. Cue the sneezing fits, bunged-up noses, itchiness and sore eyes. However, to combat this, shoppers are raving about a cooling eye mask that has been hailed as a godsend for relieving the effects of hayfever, from headaches to sore eyes - and it's currently on sale for £5.39 down from £8.99 and is one of Amazon's 'bestsellers'.
The NEWGO Cooling Eye Mask is a covering for your eyes that provides instant relief and soothing for swollen, puffy, dry and tired eyes and is a great way to combat pain from headaches, migraines, sinuses and stress. The mask is easily worn and has been created with a dual fabric design; one side is made of PVC cover for a more intense coldness while the other is covered in fabric for a milder effect - and is attached with elastic, to fit heads of all sizes.
Containing gel beads, the mask has comfort in mind with the product being flexible enough to mould to your head and has a v-shape hole for your nose. With benefits that aren't limited to hay fever or illness relief, the cold compress of the mask helps refresh your eyes and, according to Amazon, can help you sleep better.
