Pool Day Essentials

Before you get to your pool, you need to ensure you’ve packed all the essentials. To help you out, we’ve put together our top list of what to pack so you’re organized and ready!
​

• Water : First and foremost, make sure you have a good amount of water. You can never carry too much! Remember to stay hydrated with a big bottle by the pool as you don’t want to feel drained.
• Shades: If you’re going to be spending your summer getting lots of sun exposure, shades with a larger, rounder lens are better for your eyes - they keep the sun out, protecting your eyes and preventing eye wrinkles from constant squinting.
• Games: If you’re heading to the pool with friends, then there’s always the need for a deck of cards. Make sure to buy them in a waterproof covering, or take them in a plastic case, to not ruin them after your first visit.
• Book or Magazine: You can never have too many books with you whilst you lounge by the pool. Take a selection of books and magazines so you can pick and choose, depending on your mood. It’s the perfect time to catch up on some reading.
• Sun Lotion: We’ve saved the best for last! If there’s one thing you have to take with you on your pool day, then this is an essential. Here at Carisma Spa, we have some of the best sun care products available. Make sure to have some on you without fail, to protect your skin and your health.
