Elizabeth McCarron · Advanced Facialist, Edinburgh

Meet Elizabeth

Thirty years of getting to know skin

I am Elizabeth McCarron, an advanced facialist in Edinburgh's West End. With over 30 years in professional skincare, my work is shaped by careful assessment, clinical knowledge and a long-term approach to skin health.

I trained at the London Esthetique School of Beauty under Beryl Barnard, former head of The Sanctuary at Harrods. I then worked in clinics across South Kensington and Knightsbridge before returning to Edinburgh in 2000 to establish my own practice.

My work is grounded in careful assessment and long-term planning. Every decision is made according to how your skin is behaving and what it genuinely requires.

Alongside my clinical practice, I serve as a judge for the Scottish Aesthetics Awards 2025/26, am the Scottish Brand Ambassador for Forlle'd, and was named Edinburgh's Best Facialist by Skinade and Lumity. I am also co-author of Beauty and the Best No. 2, a collaborative book exploring excellence in aesthetics and skincare.

I work with a limited number of clients at any one time to ensure each skin journey receives the attention it requires.


“I’ve been with Liz for 23 years. I don’t think there’s anyone better in Scotland. I’ve never wanted the kind of facial where they put on a mask, leave the room, and wipe it off. I wanted results; that’s what I love about Liz.”
— Skin Journey Client

“It is a commitment, and Liz was really honest about that. To get the results I wanted, it was a two-way lean-in”
— Skin Journey Client
