HayMax Review

amomentwithfranca · 6 July 2016 · 24 Comments

I have already mentioned before that I suffer from hayfever through the whole year. The months when it seems to get worse are April and June. I think during these months the pollen is at its highest level. This year has been the worst year that I can remember as I have been suffering badly all June. Nick, on the other hand who normally suffers a lot at this time of year, has been surprisingly much better than me. I have always been keen to find new products that can help me to ease the symptoms. I was lucky to be approached by the lovely people at HayMax who asked me to try their fantastic drug-free allergen barrier balms.

HayMAx FI

 

What is HayMax?

HayMax balms 1

HayMax is a natural, organic allergen barrier balm (sometimes referred to as a nasal balm) that is applied to the rim of the nostrils. It can also be applied to the bones of the eyes. HayMax has been proven to reduce dust and pet allergens and more than a third of pollen from entering the body. Less allergen, less reaction.

How Does HayMax Work?

HayMAx balms 2

HayMax acts as a trap – or a blocker. The nasal balm applied to the bottom of the nose traps some of the pollen, dust or pet allergen before it enters the body. If there is less allergen in the body, there’s less for the body to react against.

Ingredients

HayMax is made from a blend of beeswax and seed oils, and then they add essential oils or aloe vera leaf juice extracts to create three additional varieties to the original version, HayMax Pure.

You can choose from five varieties of HayMax allergen barrier balm: Pure, Aloe Vera, Lavender, Frankincense and Kids. Each variety works in exactly the same way, by restricting the amount of dust and pet allergens and pollen that get into the body. All you do is wipe the balm onto the base of your nostrils. Magic.

HayMax is 100% natural, organic and drug free, so it’s suitable for children and pregnant or breastfeeding women to use. How fantastic is that? This is a great solution because when I was pregnant with both of my girls I really suffered a lot as I was not able to take any medicine so this would have been perfect for me.

Watch the video below:

Hayfever? Pregnant? Fed up?

 

I have been trying the Lavender and the pure balm ones and my eldest daughter Bella, who suffers from allergies, as well as asthma and eczema has been trying the kids balm. Bella and I both thought that it definitely helped us although I personally needed to still use some tablets but overall I felt some relief. I think each person is different so I would give it a try regardless as it can work even better for you.

Haymax balms retail at £6.99 per pot and can be purchased from Holland & Barrett; selected Boots; independent chemists, pharmacists and health stores. They have also won 42 awards! You can find more about HayMax on Facebook, Twitter, or by browsing their photos on Instagram. 

Do you suffer from Hayfever too? If so, what do you normally do to ease the symptoms? Have you heard of HayMax before? What do you think of their balms? Do you think it is good that they have five different varieties? Would you like to try them? Leave a comment below as I would love to hear what you think.

*Disclaimer: I received this bundle of HayMax balms for the purpose of this review but all opinions and thoughts are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    The aloe Vera would be great, soothe a sore nose as well as acting as a barrier

    I suffer from Hayfever throughout the year, but seem to worse in May. I have tried several nasal sprays and tablets over the years, and some seem to work for a while but then I start to become immune to them. Most recently I have been using benazone spray which is helping me through and at least gets rid of the blocked and congested nose. Would love to try the Lavender HayMax

    My husband suffers really badly from hayfever snd his face is all puffy and has been since May. I’m really hoping this would help him, even if only a little.

    I would love to try the Pure HayMax – it seems like a really good idea! I have had terrible hayfever since I was 7 years old. It’s not just sneezing and itchy/watery eyes, unfortunately there are some days that my throat is so itchy and swollen that I cannot speak or swallow – it’s like having tonsillitis! One summer, my tongue swelled so badly that I couldn’t speak for 3 weeks! I also get really itchy ears! I take medication and use cold face cloths for my eyes, plus lots of ice cream for my throat.

    My hayfever has been bad this year and am always looking at alternatives to antihistamines as I don’t like taking medication whilst breastfeeding. I’ve been wearing glasses outside to help my itchy eyes, using Vaseline on my nostrils, and showering as soon as I get in to remove pollen

    Both myself and our youngest daughter suffer quite badly from hayfever and various allergens. Our daughter is also asthmatic + suffers from Rhinitus which is always worse during the height of the hayfever season. We tend to use normal anti-histamine medications, tablets for me and liquid for my daughter but they are not always very effective. I would love to give this product a try as I really don’t like using artificial medications, especially on my daughter. I think the Lavendar would be gorgeous, as it is such a calm and soothing scent naturally.

    This sounds brilliant. Both my husband and son suffer with hay fever. It can make this time of year really miserable for them. I think the Aloe Vera one sounds good.

    We all suffer with hayfevet badly in the summer and normally reky on over the counter remedies, such as nasal sprays and hayfevet cures. The Aloe Vera or lavender sound great. Would love to try a natural solution. Thanks

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍.

✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers.

✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
