22.01.2022 MAKEUP // do you feel like you have congestion under the skin? More often than not this is caused by the makeup you use!! Those well known makeup brands, although expensive, are not designed to benefit the skin and are solely designed to cover and conceal (and last the duration of the day). Owner Makayla worked as a makeup artist and like many believed there would not be a healthy substitute but after trying Dermaviduals Deco Customised foundation (we literally mix up your exact colour!) she refuses to use anything else. #houseofmaxx

Mix 3 tablespoons of almond meal 2 tablespoons cocoa 2 tablespoons tapioca flour... 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon of melted salted butter 2 tablespoons maple syrup 1 egg 1 tablespoon almond milk. Pour into a mug, add a couple of chunks of dark chocolate, microwave for 60-90 seconds, serve! I like to go all out and add peanut butter See more

What causes magnesium deficiency ? ~ STRESS, alcohol, gut imbalances and some medications. Top up your magnesium stores with Salt Lab Magnesium Spray before bed!

21.01.2022 DERMAVIDUALS // we would not choose any other brand to use on your skin! The beauty of Dermaviduals is not only the product inside the bottle and philosophy because rebuilding our skin to work for itself but the fact we can customise your whole regime to be EXACTLY what you need. This means we can treat multiple conditions at once, have fewer products in your cupboard and can tweak what’s working for you to avoid seasonal skin changes! #dermaviduals #houseofmaxx

19.01.2022 Let’s take it slow .... a beautiful and relevant message from the incense we burn in clinic Stress causes inflammation in our body and can lead to many health issues including skin conditions.

18.01.2022 MAKAYLA, how it all began // For as long as I can remember, the health and beauty industries have played a major role in my life. I grew up a very sick little girl, suffering from allergies as a result to anything from foods, plants and animals, but was too young to go down the medical desensitisation route. This forced my mother, Jenny, to look at my diet and alternative therapies, between the ages of 3 to 16 I changed my diet several times, had treatments of Kinesiology, Iridology, Naturopathy, Colonic Irrigation and N.A.E.T.. My passion for food and beauty came really young, I was cooking the family meals and creating my own beauty potions from the age of 8! However, it was the year I turned 16 that was a real defining point for me .... TBC #houseofmaxx

17.01.2022 Makayla takes you through her everyday, no makeup - makeup look! Foundation - @dermaviduals Deco * Concealer, Blush + Highlighter - @janeiredale_australia Bronzer - @chantecaille ... Brows - @beachy_brows * Lashes - @yumi_lashes_australia * * stocked at HOM

16.01.2022 Maxine & Makayla // we love helping you guys so much we encourage you to message us with any questions, concerns, topics and even if you just need a friendly ear! This is a very special time in history where everyone is collectively experiencing the same situation. For most of us this is a great opportunity to reflect, rest and refocus but for some this can be a scary and dangerous time. The team at HOM are here to listen to whatever you are going through #houseofmaxx

16.01.2022 THE DIFFERENCE IN PRODUCT QUALITY // You get what you pay for is definitely true when it comes to skin care. The biggest different between your supermarket/pharmacy cosmetics and what HOM recommend is FILLERS + STABALISERS. Fillers are used to bulk out a product and make it spread further, these include mineral oils + silicones which cause congestion in the skin. Stabilisers include emulsifiers + parabens which are designed to give the product a longer shelf life but also cau...se imbalance to the skin and can be harmful to you health! Imbalanced in the skin can cause a downward spiral towards skin conditions. @dermaviduals is the only skincare product we have ever chosen to work with because it is free of emulsifiers, silicones, mineral oil, parabens + fragrance and you are only paying for the quality of the product, not the design or marketing.

16.01.2022 MAKAYLA continued // Education continues to play a major role in my life, ensuring I maintain leading expertise within my field and knowledge beyond that within closely related arenas, while studying international approaches and developments. Oncology Aesthetics, further advanced cellular education and a new modality of plasma treatment have been added to my repertoire in the last 4 years. My interests have now been sparked by the growing Cannabis, CBD and Hemp industry and... how our own body’s inner cannabinoid system responds in a way that affects the aesthetics and functions of our skin. Currently expanding knowledge, I seek to better understand the functions and benefits of cannabis & CBD in order to work with it alongside nutrition and Corneotherapy to bring even greater results to my clients. I am conducting international research in order to work with CBD and Hemp products where possible and pave the way in Australia once legalisation happens. #houseofmaxx See more

15.01.2022 NUTRITION // you may feel like you are eating ‘healthy’ but if you aren’t eating correctly for your body specifically this can cause a domino effect to your health resulting in gut, thyroid and hormonal imbalances. Our Health Coach @hom.jenny will pinpoint and coach you through understanding what is the most and least beneficial way for you to eat, help you make those changes and hold you accountable. #houseofmaxx

14.01.2022 MAGNESIUM // Important for MANY functions of the body but can really help those of us suffering from PMS or menstrual cramps! It’s as simple as a few sprays on the belly every night before bed. #houseofmaxx #saltlab #magnesium

14.01.2022 BALANCE // We place so much pressure on eating right, looking right, the career, social life etc. that we forget to sit back and enjoy how far we have come and what life has to offer #houseofmaxx

14.01.2022 https://www.highonsix.com/beauty/spotlight-on-corneotherapy

13.01.2022 SKIN CONDITIONS // are you suffering from dehydration, breakouts, eczema, rosacea, dermatitis or dryness? If your skin is experiencing this it is a sign of an unhappy ecosystem. NOT EVERY GUT ISSUE WILL PRESENT IN THE SKIN, BUT EVERY SKIN ISSUE STARTS IN THE GUT...

12.01.2022 DIET // food can be your greatest medicine or poison. A lot of the population and clients when we first see them believe they are eating a healthy diet but it is actually causing the very thing that brought them in to see us. If you feel like this could be you, feel free to reach out to us anytime #houseofmaxx

10.01.2022 Greene Street Juice

09.01.2022 IMMUNE SYSTEM // our microbiome (bacteria profile) of the skin is put first line of skin barrier defence! Our microbiome in our gut and on our skin is an essential component to our immune system. #houseofmaxx

08.01.2022 MAKAYLA continued .... // I had been really sick with candida related health issues and decided to work alongside an amazing Naturopath and Raw Chef doing colonics, changing up my diet yet again and taking herbs and supplements. During this time I wanted to study my Diploma in Beauty Therapy but was too young, however was given the chance to prove whether I would be let into the course, and ended up graduating at the top of my class 2 years early. I moved to Melbourne from Gi...ppsland at 18, worked at a high end beauty retailer and salon co-ordinated a skin clinic and salon, as well as worked at a health food shop alongside alternative practitioners. It was during this time that I continued my education on skin, food and gut health and started to notice a real pattern when it came to someones health and their skin concerns. It dawned on me ‘If our skin is our largest organ, why are we not treating it like one?’. At the age of 21, my mother Jenny and I put our 21 years of experience in gut health together with my knowledge and education on skin and opened House of Maxx Boutique Skin Clinic August 20th, 2015. #houseofmaxx See more

06.01.2022 MAKAYLA continued // When House of Maxx was born it was important that I create a space that was warm, inviting and luxurious, I didn’t want clients to feel like they were in a ‘clinical’ environment because dealing with a severe skin condition can deeply impact self esteem so by proving a ‘self care’ rich environment meant positive feelings towards change and self. Expanding on that feeling I wanted to create our values and make sure they are always in the forefront of the HOM teams mind. Innovation, honesty, positivity, community and dedication. #houseofmaxx

06.01.2022 LIP CARE // cracked, dry lips seem to be a fact of life in the colder months but for some year round! Essential Fatty Acid deficiency’s contribute to weak skin cells (often found in people with dry skin, autoimmune and barrier disorders) and the additional use of heaters and not drinking enough H2O exacerbate the issue but reaching for your favourite supermarket lip balm could also be doing MORE HARM THAN GOOD! Do you find yourself thinking ‘I apply lip balm all day but my li...ps are STILL dry’? This is because those popular balms contain ingredients that have addictive properties, drying out your lips, making you want to apply more. They also contain petro chemicals (a chemical obtained from petroleum and gas) and parabens (carcinogenic preservative). To break free from this crusty cycle, we love and recommend @dermaviduals Lip Repair or Oleogel Plus. You’ll soon find the frequency of apply your balm has decreased alongside flakiness and dryness #houseofmaxx See more

05.01.2022 CRAVINGS IN WINTER // Do you normally enjoy a smoothie for breakfast as a convenient way to get in some nutrients? During Winter cold foods can cause some digestive discomforts and add extra pressure on our organs, not to mention, who wants to be consuming cold things when it’s cold!? Smoothies are a popular way to have a healthy start to the day, so we came up with a WARM recipe that will fill you up, nourish your body & satisfy your comfort food cravings. Best part is, it’s... chocolate without the guilt! This paleo & Candida friendly recipe includes: 200ml hot plants milk 1 TBS @maxxbeautytonic Chocolate Mylk: Cacao - calcium, iron, magnesium Carob - Calcium, Vit A, Vit B, Zinc, Selenium Maca - Mood boosting flavonoids & anti-ox glutathione & superoxide dismutase.

DE Silica - Plays an important role in the effectiveness of the immune and cardiovascular system. 1 raw egg Optional : medicinal mushrooms See more

04.01.2022 SERUMS // everyone that loves skincare LOVESSS a good serum whether it be single vitamins or a cocktail, nourishing or hydrating BUT did you know we compound your serum specifically to your needs!! The biggest advantages of being able to do this enables us to target your concerns specifically and also drastically reduces the amount of serum bottles (and confusion) in your bathroom cupboards. During your skin consultation we discuss what is required to achieve your results and can make tweaks throughout the year as the season changes call for different nutrients #houseofmaxx

03.01.2022 CORNEOTHERAPY // As Corneotherapists we use a slightly different theory to other skin therapists, our approach is less about removing layers of the skin and more about repairing our barrier & eliminating inflammation so our cells can function at their peak. When we peel, microderm & scrub at our skin we take away some of that protective barrier and even though the reasoning behind this is to deliver active ingredients deeper and reveal younger skin, it actually causes inflammation which leads to redness & accelerated ageing, breaks down our barrier causing Trans Epidermal Water Loss leading to dehydration & imbalance (often resulting in congestion). Here at House of Maxx we use Nanoparticles dispersion and Liposomes to deliver powerful & active ingredients all while treating our largest organ with respect.

03.01.2022 Theories behind skin colour, pigmentation & conditions // With Corneotherapist @hom.maxine

02.01.2022 Emotions and Essential Oils // Our emotions are more often than not such a complex side of our human experience. Link to the full article ... https://www.maxxbymakayla.com/emotions-and-essential-oils/

02.01.2022 SEASON CHANGE // now that the weather has cooled down and UV isn’t so much of a concern we can push our skin a little further and make real progress over the next few months with incorporating Vitamin A, home rolling, CIT & very soon Plasma Fibroblast!!! Due to colder weather and harsh environments our skin needs a whole lot more love to stay looking glowing and plump. Book in a Skin Consultation ($100 that is redeemable on product!) to see how we can make the most out of your complexion. #houseofmaxx
