When those first warm days of spring roll around, we’re all aching to bust out our sunglasses and floral prints. For some, however, spring also means watery eyes, itchy skin, and a season full of asking for tissues. Suddenly, a walk in the park full of blooming flowers doesn’t seem like a good idea. But springtime shouldn’t be spent indoors with your humidifier. If you’re an allergy sufferer, here are some game-changing products to soothe your red, watery eyes and stuffy nose. Feel free to step out for that al fresco brunch, worry-free.
