Facial in International City Good skin care at a clear, final price

What a facial in International City costs

Every price at our facial salon is final and includes VAT, so you know the total before you book. There are no add-ons at the end, and the price is the same whether you choose a morning or a late evening slot.

The Cleansing Facial at AED 190 is the full 60-minute deep clean and the most popular first choice from International City. If you want a smaller spend, the Casmara Express Mask at AED 99 and the 30-minute Facial Massage at AED 95 are both available. Our full price list shows every option side by side.

Dust, heat and the clusters: what they do to skin

International City sits next to open land, and on windy days fine dust settles on everything, including your face. Add summer heat on the walk to the shops, and sweat mixes with sunscreen and dust into a film that clogs pores quickly.

That is why many clients here book a Cleansing Facial every four to six weeks. Between visits, cleanse morning and night, even on days you stayed in, and keep a light, non-greasy moisturiser and sunscreen as your daily basics. Our page on facials for oily skin explains which products suit skin that turns shiny by midday.

Your first 60-minute facial, step by step

Many clients from International City are booking their first professional facial. It starts with a short skin check and a chat, so the facialist knows what bothers you, whether that is blackheads, dryness or a dull tone.

She then cleanses, exfoliates and uses warm steam to soften the skin, followed by gentle extraction only where it is needed. A facial massage, a mask chosen for your skin, and serum and moisturiser finish the hour. You stay in a private room in our ladies-only facial salon throughout.

When to spend more, and when not to

Paying more does not always mean a better result. If the Cleansing Facial leaves your skin clear and comfortable, it is a perfectly good routine on its own, and your facialist suggests something different only when your skin needs it.

These are the upgrades that do make sense:

• Diamond Facial, AED 230: when skin feels rough and make-up catches on dry patches.
• Casmara Facial, AED 230: when skin feels tight and thirsty after months of AC.
• Gold Facial, AED 230: for a radiant finish before a wedding, Eid or a birthday.
• Dr. Renaud Facial, AED 315: when skin is sensitive or blemish-prone and reacts to stronger products.

Warsan and Dragon Mart: long days on your feet

We also welcome many clients from Warsan and from around Dragon Mart, right next to International City. Women who work in the shops and showrooms there spend long hours under bright lights and strong AC, and they often book their facial on a day off.

For skin that feels greasy by evening but tight in the morning, a Cleansing Facial followed by a Casmara Facial the next month is a sensible pattern. If your shoulders ache as much as your skin looks tired, add the 30-minute Facial Massage for the face, neck and shoulders.

New to the UAE climate

International City is often a first home for women who have just arrived in the UAE. In the first months, skin can react to the change: more oil in the humid weeks, dry patches under the AC, and the odd breakout from new water and new products.

Give your skin time and keep your routine simple. A facial every month or so in that first year helps you and your facialist learn how your skin behaves here. If you have active acne that is painful, see a doctor before booking.

Booking with flatmates and friends

Many clients from the clusters come with a flatmate or a friend. Mention both names in one WhatsApp message and the team will try to arrange slots one after the other. Same-day visits are often possible, and we are open until 11 pm on weekdays and until midnight at the weekend.

To book, choose the facial on the site, pick a place and time, and the booking opens in WhatsApp with everything filled in. Tap send and the team confirms, or book online now. Our salon is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 1,662 verified reviews on Fresha. On request, our facialist can also come to you in International City; a minimum booking value may apply.
