There are few things better than stepping out of a facial feeling like you’ve just had a full night’s sleep and maybe a small holiday. That’s exactly how I felt after trying Ella Baché’s new Turn Back Time Facial, a luxurious anti-ageing facial that coincided beautifully with Ella Baché Bowral’s fourth birthday in their chic home by Green Lane and Dirty Janes antique emporium.
It was a warm, sunny morning when I arrived at the spotless salon. I was greeted with a big smile and a kind word by salon owner Veronica, who instantly made me feel like I’d walked into her home. Within minutes, a lovely therapist, Louise, tucked me into a heated bed, ready for what turned out to be one of the most indulgent facials I’ve had in years.
Step by step to more supple skin
Step one was a cleanse, but not just any cleanse. This one came with a heavenly shoulder and décolletage massage that immediately loosened the week’s tension. Then came microdermabrasion, and I didn’t realise how much I’d missed it until that first pass of the wand. My skin had been in a bit of a rut, and this gentle resurfacing gave it the wake-up it needed.
Next came a smoothing Morpho-Mask with Caviar, accompanied by a blissful foot and hand massage. Just as I thought things couldn’t get more relaxing, my therapist began the signature Eternal+ Sculpting facial massage. This firming, toning technique that feels as therapeutic as it is effective. It’s designed to lift and re-sculpt the facial contours, and I could actually feel my skin becoming more supple under her hands.
By the end, my skin looked calm, luminous and deeply nourished. I floated out into the Bowral sunshine, my complexion noticeably firmer and smoother.

The Turn Back Time facial features Ella Baché’s newly launched Eternal+ range, which marks a modern, pro-ageingapproach to skincare. The hero duo, Eternal+ Sculpting Serum and Eternal+ Reconstructing Very Rich Cream, both contain potent actives that target elasticity loss, fine lines, uneven tone and volume.
The serum delivers a concentrated hit of firming and plumping action to refine skin texture. As for the cream, it’s so beautifully rich and cocooning. It’s perfect for normal to dry skin or anyone wanting a bit of extra nourishment. Used together, they aim to smooth, lift and redefine the skin’s natural structure over time.
Why book an anti-ageing facial in Bowral?
There’s something about the Southern Highlands air that makes you want to slow down and take care of yourself. Ella Bache’s anti-ageing facial Bowral treatment fits that perfectly. It’s deeply restorative, skin-smoothing and relaxing — everything you want from an hour dedicated to yourself.
My skin felt soft and hydrated for days afterwards, that plump, pillowy feeling you don’t want to wash away. More than that, the whole experience reminded me that facials aren’t just about skin… They’re about slowing down, breathing deeply and giving your body permission to rest.
