WE’RE always after a freebie – especially ones that make life a little bit better.
So Lush fans will rejoice over the news you can bag a free product this week if you head into stores.
To celebrate World Sleep Day, the fresh, handmade cosmetic and bath company will be giving away their best-selling Sleepy body lotion so you can get the best slumber.
However, there is a catch if you want to grab some for yourself.
For those living in Scotland, Wales and England, you’ll best make sure to get to bed early on Thursday to get to stores on time on Friday 15.
Stores will be giving away a bottle of the lotion – filled with the aroma of lavender – while stock lasts.
Lush’s Sleepy Body Lotion went viral and sold out in 2017 after people took to social media to rave about the cream.
While it was intended to be limited edition – rave reviews pushed Lush to keep it in stores.
The product is packed with lavender oil, tonka absolute and ylang ylang oil which can help relax your mind for a peaceful night’s sleep.
It’s made with oat milk, organic illipe butter and Fairtrade organic cocoa butter to soothe, moisturise and soften skin.
The scent of lavender works as an anxiety reliever to increase relaxation and calm, and help bring about sleep reports SleepDoctor.
“Finding the right fragrances to wake you up or soothe you to sleep can be a wonderful way to weave scent into your every day,” adds Lush Perfumer, Emma Vincent.
“We associate everyday activities with the smells we encounter regularly—the smell of toothpaste in the morning or the pillow spray you spritz before you go to bed.
“Every habit starts with a cue. We can use fragrance to recall these everyday memories and how we felt at the time, making scent a powerful tool in building routines that support our natural cycle of sleepiness and wakefulness.
And the news will be great for Brits, according to research by Nuffield Health, we get on average 5.9 hours of sleep per night and only 36% of UK adults rated their sleep as ‘good’.
Now, we know you’re dying to get a bottle for free, here’s the details.
To bag yourself a freebie, all you need to do is go into stores this Friday, wearing your pyjamas.
You can then speak to a member of the team at your local Lush store who will give you a complimentary bottle of the lotion.
The cosmetics brand sells on average one Sleepy Body Lotion a minute, and its factory staff hand-make over 1 million pots a year and has extended the range to shower gels and pillow sprays.
You can also pop into stores to create your own bathbomb to celebrate the occassion.
Selected stores across the UK will also be hosting lavender-scented Twilight bath bomb making workshops during World Sleep Day weekend (15 – 17 March).
