If you’re prone to allergies like hay fever, you might want to shave off that moustache.
Well that’s according to a study, which suggests that men who washed their moustaches twice a day with liquid soap used fewer antihistamines and decongestants.
The reason for this? Cleaning the moustache got rid of stuck pollen grains.
Dr Rob Hicks, GP and author of Beat Your Allergy, said: “Like clothing, skin and hair, a moustache will trap pollen throughout the day.
“A man with hay fever might consider shaving off his moustache to see whether it makes a difference.
“That would probably be easier and more effective than remembering to wash it twice a day.”
