Sneezing, snot and itchy eyes? Why nasal spray could be summer 2025's secret weapon
It's the most glorious time of year. The sun is shining, the weather is sweet, and nothing can stand in the way of the good times … well, almost nothing. Because sadly, there are two things guaranteed to try to put a damper on summer fun: one is rain, the other is hay fever. Obviously there's nothing any of us can do about the weather, but if you're one of the estimated one in four UK adults who suffers from hay fever, a nasal spray could be your secret summer weapon. Beconase Hay Fever Relief for Adults is the UK's number one hay fever relief nasal spray* that not only provides long-lasting relief from nasal congestion, sinus discomfort and watery eyes, but, in a 2024 survey, 99% agreed it was easy to use**. So don't let the outdoors hold you back this summer, here's how nasal spray could help you make the most of summer's finest moments … Something special happens as soon as summer arrives. Thanks to the increased sunlight, longer days, and warmer temperatures, we all get a physical and mental boost, and suddenly even the most uptight of us are laid back, looking on the bright side and up for adventure. But if you suffer from hay fever, your sunnies might not be quite so rose-tinted. Nasal congestion, watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, itchy nose, red eyes and sinus discomfort may take the spring out of your step. Luckily, Beconase nasal spray for adults helps tackle these common hay fever symptoms, which can get you on your way to being your easy, breezy summer self. Summer is a season of sensational smells. Just think about it: the sweet, smokey char of a barbecue wafting over the garden fence; a whiff of fragrant honeysuckle as you pass it on a sunny street; the warm, tropical scent of suntan lotion as you massage it into your skin – these evocative smells have the power to transport us through space and time. But if you suffer from hay fever, your nose might be too congested to catch these seasonal aromas, let alone bask in their daydream-inducing glory. Enter Beconase nasal spray, which works at the source to relieve hay fever symptoms in the nose and eyes. It contains beclometasone, which has an anti-inflammatory action; this means it reduces nasal inflammation and swelling too, adding to the relief you could experience. Breakfast, lunch, dinner … meetings? As soon as the mercury hits 25C all bets are off, and if an activity can conceivably take place outside, chances are someone will do it – or at least suggest it. Given that we've been holed up inside through the long, dark months of winter, this is completely understandable – but if you suffer from hay fever, alfresco living can feel hellish rather than wholesome. Summer '25 could be different though. Why? Well, Beconase nasal spray taken regularly can relieve the symptoms of hay fever and help you enjoy the great outdoors even if the pollen count is high. Now, where's that picnic at? A festival in the countryside, a picnic in your local park, a night out at a rooftop bar and a delicious dip at a secret wild swimming spot – all in one weekend? Sign us up! When the sun is shining, no one wants to miss a minute of the good times, and suddenly even the most dedicated of homebodies find themselves flitting from one social event to the next. Fortunately for hay fever sufferers, Beconase nasal spray is non-drowsy, so you don't have to choose between easing your symptoms and feeling on the ball. Instead, you can say an enthusiastic 'YES!' to every invitation that comes your way. Happy days! At the height of summer, on the longest day, we are treated to a whopping 16 hours of daylight – so it's no wonder that summer days can feel endless in the best possible way. For hay fever sufferers the good news is, Beconase nasal spray is long-lasting so can help to tackle symptoms even if you're out and about soaking up every last ray of sun. Beconase provides up to 24 hours' relief from hayfever symptoms when used twice a day; for best results, Beconase should be sprayed twice into each nostril every morning and night. Just think of it as your special, summer morning/bedtime routine. Buy Beconase now on Amazon *Based on IRI units data, 52 w/e 1st March 2025.
