To celebrate Spa Owner, Carly, turning 50 this month, we have asked her to provide us with a few tip and tricks for finding the perfect skincare products to make sure that your skin stays as beautiful as ever.

It’s a new year and everyone is speaking Japanese! At least when it comes to organization. If you haven’t heard of Marie Kondo, you’ve probably been living under a rock since New Year’s Eve. Her show, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo is this year’s Netflix hit. And her books The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Spark Joy are changing how people live their lives. It seems like all the women in Waterloo are busy organizing drawers, cupboards and closets, and they are tossing everything that doesn’t “spark joy.” Here at The Waters Spa, we have a couple of Kondo-ites who could have co-written the ..read more

Alcohol-free and infinitely gentle, Rosée removes make-up and tones without leaving an oily film. Skin is left velvety clean. Why use a toner? Toning is a skin care step that is often skipped, but it’s a crucial step to more youthful, radiant skin. Why? Toner removes even more make-up and residue than cleansing alone. It also removes minerals and deposits left behind by rinse water, such as salt and chlorine, that can have a drying effect on sk ..read more
