With Summer in full swing, visits to the beach or to a day by the pool can become a regular break from daily life. This guide will give you some tips for getting your legs and feet beach-ready, by giving them some well-deserved pampering.

Various Carisma world-famous massages give your legs the luxury treatment, with gentle movements that reduce inflammation and get your circulation flowing smoothly. Massages even ease muscle tension and the aches and pains in your knees or ankles. Our Carisma Signature Massage is especially perfect for the job, since it includes a Hawaiian leg massage and a Balinese Foot Massage. 

However, if a specific massage has caught your eye, you can add on a foot massage or foot reflexology session to experience the best of both worlds. Foot reflexology involves the application of pressure to specific areas of the feet to restore your body’s energy flow and treat specific ailments or health concerns. Reflexology is even said to boost your immune system  and promote healing!

If you’re self-conscious or concerned about hair growth on your legs, professional waxing can be the perfect solution. Since it is performed by a professional, getting a waxing treatment at the spa is less painful and less likely to cause any damage to your skin. It will be much quicker, and have longer-lasting results than at-home hair removal. The spa esthetician will also know how to adapt the session to your unique needs, taking your skin type and hair type into consideration. 

Best of all, professional waxing involves high degrees of sanitation and the highest quality products, so your skin is sure to feel amazing afterwards! If you’re curious about a typical professional waxing session, you can take a look at our simple guide here to know what to expect.

A pedicure is an amazing way to feel and look pampered! Best of all, you can effortlessly enjoy a professional pedicure at a luxury spa. A classic pedicure at Carisma spa includes cutting and filing your toenails, cleaning your cuticles and application of nail polish. If you feel like treating yourself, a deluxe pedicure also includes a foot scrub, massage and foot mask! Regular foot scrubs will smooth your feet, removing dry skin and preventing cracked heels. The foot mask helps ease dry skin and cracked feet, revealing the smooth glowing skin beneath.

Foot scrubs and massages will boost the circulation in your legs, giving you a feeling of wellness and easing any swelling from being on your feet all day. Of course, a pedicure is also an amazing stress reliever. 

​Cellulite can really bring you down and leave you feeling self-conscious at the beach. There are thankfully various remedies for this very common concern that you can try. Spa treatments like our Anti-Cellulite packages are designed to target cellulite in an intensive pampering session. If you prefer, even normal massages boost circulation and plump up your skin, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

If you prefer an at-home solution, various luxury products can improve the appearance of cellulite. Firming products help tighten up the skin on your legs, while masks, night gels and moisturizers plump up your skin. Best of all, when used in combination with anti-cellulite treatments, they are super effective!

A day by the pool is a wonderfully relaxing getaway that can be the highlight of your Summer days. It can be a well-earned break from working or studying, or a way to spend time together with friends, family or a loved one. But best of all, spending a day by the pool can even have amazing benefits on your physical and mental wellbeing.


In this article, you’ll learn about a few of the different ways that a Carisma spa day by the pool can leave you feeling and looking your best.

​If you plan on swimming during your day by the pool, you’re making a great decision for your health! Even if you prefer light, relaxed swimming, there are various benefits to enjoy:

• Being Around Water Has A Calming Effect

Surprisingly, simply being around a swimming pool is enough to relax your mind and help you feel calmer. Being near or in a swimming pool lowers stress and anxiety levels, and increases feelings of happiness. Even your breathing rate and heart rate slow down, making days by the pool a good remedy for bad moods. Swimming also requires muscle and breathing techniques similar to those used in yoga and meditation; it’s no wonder swimming relaxes you too!

• Swimming as Exercise

Swimming is an excellent form of exercise, since it is also gentle on your joints in the process. While swimming, you can enjoy a relaxing weight loss experience, as well as train your core strength and your flexibility. It also helps build your endurance while toning your muscles.

• Ease Your Aches and Pains

Swimming is good relief for joint pains, muscle pains and even for healing injuries. Reducing pressure off a painful back or damaged knee while you swim allows you to exercise these muscles gently without causing more damage. Always discuss with your doctor or physiotherapist to be sure your injury is ready for this exercise, to be extra safe.

• Boost Your Heart’s Health

Swimming keeps your heart healthy by gently improving your cardiovascular fitness. Since it is a form of aerobic exercise, swimming will strengthen your heart and make it more efficient at pumping your blood. This benefits your circulation, reducing your chances of cardiovascular disease.

Spending a day by the pool is an amazing way to break up your routine and give yourself a boost of motivation. Taking a break to distance yourself from daily routines has positive effects on your memory, energy levels and performance. Taking a day to rest even improves your health; boosting your immune system, reducing inflammation and decreasing your risk of heart disease.

Spending your day by the pool with family or friends can also improve your bond and your mental wellness. A spa day by the pool can even be a great romantic experience to share with a special someone, where you can enjoy being pampered together.

Simply spending time outside in the sun comes with its own health benefits. Most people do not get enough Vitamin D with their current lifestyles, so as long as you protect your skin with sunscreen, some sun exposure can actually have a positive effect. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones, teeth and muscles, so it’s important to get enough of it. This vitamin even keeps your immune system, brain and nervous system in good shape.

Sun exposure is also recommended as a way to treat skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, jaundice and acne. It can even give you a little helping hand in relieving arthritis, lupus and thyroid problems.

Outdoor experiences and sun exposure can also improve your memory, focus and creativity, as well as combat depression. Sunlight triggers the release of serotonin, which boosts your mood and calms you.

We hope that this article has been enlightening, and that you now know some of the surprising ways a relaxing day by the pool can improve your wellness. With today’s rushed schedules and stress-filled days, it’s important to set aside time for yourself.
