Refresh your glow at the 5 best facial spots in Canberra
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Canberra’s skincare scene, it’s that facials here go beyond self-care—they’re transformative experiences. With dry winters and sunny summers, our skin can take quite the beating.
Fortunately, the city’s top facial spots (and spas) combine expertise and relaxation in ways that deliver real, lasting results.
Whether you’re chasing deep hydration, gentle exfoliation, or a total skin reset, Canberra has something for everyone.
How much does a facial treatment cost in Canberra?
Facials typically cost between $100 and $250, depending on the treatment and products used. Express options start around $90, while advanced or specialized facials like microdermabrasion or anti-aging therapies reach $250 or more.

Totally relaxed and pampered
“Originally from Canberra but live in London and love coming home to a facial from Mary, I’ve tried a lot of Salons and nothing comes close to Mary’s attention to detail and is truly invested in solving your skin concerns. I always leave glowing weeks after and since going on a regular basis on my trips back, my skin looks amazing. Mary has a way of ensuring you are totally switched off, leaving you feeling totally relaxed and pampered.”

“I had the “traditional facial” and oh my gosh Mary is amazing!!! Thank you so much for today. My skin looks and feels amazing. It was so relaxing and soothing. Mary is so skilled at what she does. I appreciate that she takes the time to explain what’s going on with your skin and steps to take to look after it. Also had my brows tinted and they are perfect.

I feel so lucky
“After going to a skin clinic and being told that there’s nothing that could be done about my acne except for going on Acutane, I decided to go to the Clinic Skin Health for a second opinion. It’s safe to say that this was the best decision I could’ve made. Cara is so knowledgeable and her holistic approach meant no stone was left unturned when it came to uncovering the root cause of my acne. I left my first appointment with a renewed sense of hope that maybe there was a way to fix my acne. 6 months in, and my skin has transformed entirely and is something I take pride in rather than being a source of insecurity. I feel so lucky to have found the team at the clinic skin health and am incredibly grateful for the time and care they have put into helping me.”
