12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS FOOTCARE CHALLENGE FOR 2024!
This is the Medipod Clinics 12 Days of Christmas Foot Care Challenge.
Treat your feet to something special each day, inspired by the classic holiday tune.
By Christmas, your feet will feel festive and refreshed!
Sorry we can’t help you with those Christmas preparations but at least your feet will be ready!
Day 1: A Partridge in a Pear Tree – Peppermint & Pear Foot Soak
Start your foot care journey with a luxurious “pear tree” inspired soak. Use warm water with Epsom salts and a few drops of peppermint oil for a refreshing treat. Add a hint of pear-scented oil or soap for a festive touch. Relax and let the stress melt away! Remember, comfortable, well-fitted shoes make a huge difference in preventing soreness, especially on those Christmas shopping trips.
Day 2: Two Turtle Doves – Double Treat
For your “two turtle doves” treatment, apply a rich foot cream like CCS Foot Care Cream and lock it in by wearing cozy socks (or bamboo socks) to help the moisture absorb deeply, especially overnight.
It’s also a great excuse for some “me” time—curl up with a festive book and enjoy a sneaky hot chocolate (don’t forget the marshmallows)!
Day 3: Three French Hens – French Lavender Foot Massage
Pamper your feet with a French-inspired lavender oil massage. Warm a little lavender-scented lotion or oil, then gently massage it into your feet, focusing on sore spots. Treat yourself to reflexology with Maria, a perfect way to unwind. Gift vouchers for reflexology are available at Medipod reception.
Day 4: Four Calling Birds – Perfectly Preened Feet
Keep your “calling bird” feet neat and tidy by trimming and shaping your toenails straight across to prevent ingrown nails. Book a standard appointment to have your nails, hard skin, and pesky corns expertly removed. Check availability through our website and get those feet ready to dance the night away!
Day 5: Five Golden Rings – Hydrating Foot Mask
Time for a golden treatment! Indulge your feet with a hydrating Emtrix foot mask with tea tree oil and Shea Butter.
Let the mask work its magic for 20 minutes while you enjoy mulled wine and a mince pie. Your feet will be soft and ready to shop.
Day 6: Six Geese a-Laying – Soothing Stretches
Give your feet a break from holiday errands with gentle stretches like ankle circles, toe curls, and calf raises.
These simple exercises help ease tension, improve circulation, and keep your feet feeling flexible.
Day 7: Seven Swans a-Swimming – Bamboo Sock Day
Slip into soft, bamboo socks today for “swan soft” comfort.
Bamboo socks are breathable, naturally odour-resistant, and perfect for keeping your feet warm without overheating. They also make great gifts!
Day 8: Eight Maids a-Milking – Milk & Honey Foot Soak
For silky-smooth feet, enjoy a “milk and honey” foot soak.
Add milk and honey to warm water for a soothing soak.
The lactic acid in milk gently exfoliates, while honey hydrates, leaving your feet feeling soft and refreshed.
Day 9: Nine Ladies Dancing – Party-Ready Pedicure
Inspired by “nine ladies dancing,” give yourself a festive pedicure! Choose bright colours like red, green, or gold, or add some sparkle. Dr. Remedy nail varnishes are perfect for a healthy, festive look, with hydration treatments that revamp dry nails. Selected colours available at reception
Day 10: Ten Lords a-Leaping – Energizing Foot Massage
Use a tennis ball, foot roller, or even a bottle to gently roll under your feet, focusing on the arches and heels.
This technique relieves tension, especially after a busy day of Christmas preparations.
Day 11: Eleven Pipers Piping – “Snow Day” Foot Care Kit
Create a mini “Snow Day” foot care kit with bamboo socks, travel-sized foot cream and toe warmers. This kit is perfect for a cozy winter night or a thoughtful gift for someone who could use some foot care.
For those of you that suffer from cold feet due to poor circulation try the Gehwol rich red cream. Massage in and let the cream gently warm and moisturise your feet.
Day 12: Twelve Drummers Drumming – Christmas Eve Foot Spa & Movie Night
End your foot care challenge with a spa night. Start with a relaxing soak, followed by a moisturizing massage, and finish by slipping on your bamboo socks. Prop up your feet, grab a cozy blanket, and enjoy a holiday movie to unwind before Christmas Eve.
